Being a celebrity child is like you are always in the spotlight. The same case is with Wylda Rae Johnson, who is the first daughter of Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson.
She receives a lot of media coverage as a famous child, just as her parents do. However, because she is still little, not much is known about her.
Wylda Rae Johnson – A Celebrity Kid
No matter how a celebrity child wants to live a normal life, the media never gives them that chance. Wylda Rae Johnson’s parents also strive to provide her with a normal upbringing.
Born on July 10, 2010, in London, England, Wylda Rae Johnson is now 11 years old. Her zodiac sign is Cancer.
She comes from an affluent family. Her parents are well-known celebrities. Her father, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a British actor whereas Sam Taylor-Johnson, her mother is a filmmaker.
Wylda has three siblings. She has a biological sister named Romy Hero and the other two are her half-siblings. Jessie Phoenix, and Angelica Jopling, with Sam Taylor’s ex-husband, Jay Jopling.
Wylda’s parents are one of the most famous celebrity couples in the film industry and they have been together for more than a decade.
Despite the couple’s significant age difference, Sam and Aaron never seem to be bothered by their love lives; instead, they constantly appear to encourage each other.
Where Did Her Parents, Aaron and Sam Meet?
In 2008, Aaron Perry Taylor-Johnson and Samantha Louise Taylor-Johnson met on the set of Nowhere Boy (2009), which was a John Lennon biopic and Sam’s directorial project.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson was there for the auditions. Meanwhile, Sam was separating with her husband Jay Jopling, who is an art dealer, after 11 years of marriage.
Sam was preparing to leave their shared house on the day Aaron Taylor was coming for the auditions. So when Aaron came to her house, Sam knew she was the guy.
In several interviews, the two have discussed their long-term relationship. “It was so inconvenient,” Sam said.
“In the end, I was like, ‘OK, he’ll have to come to my home.’ I opened my door to John Lennon. I instantly knew he was the guy.”
In September 2008, Sam’s divorce from Jopling was finalized and made public. Their on-set chemistry was incredible, and they had already begun to form a bond.
Her daughter, Angelica Jopling, played a younger version of John Lennon’s sister, Julia, in the film “Nowhere Boy.”
Sam told The Telegraph UK that she was blown away by Aaron’s preparation for his audition. Aaron reportedly told Harper’s Bazaar that he remembered Sam’s initial audition appearance.
He added, “I remember it very, very clearly.” He continued “I know exactly what she was wearing. This white shirt that she still has, that I love. It definitely changed my life, though not in the way I expected.”
Aaron has opened up about their age difference on several occasions. In a 2019 interview with The Telegraph UK, he said:
“When I met Sam I’d already lived a life far beyond that of most of my contemporaries – I didn’t relate to anyone my age. I just feel that we’re on the same wavelength.”
Popping a Question and Starting a Family
When the film wrapped up, Aaron popped a question to Sam. They never had a date or even kissed each other. He instantly got down on his knees and proposed to her. She happily agreed.
They dated covertly for a few months before going public with their relationship in the beginning of 2010.
When Aaron was asked about their love in an interview with The Telegraph UK, he disclosed how he always knew she was the one.
“I knew instantaneously that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this person,” he said.
“I knew I wanted to start a family with her, and I knew I wanted kids, and a month later she was pregnant with our first child,” he concluded.
The time when Wylda Rae Johnson, their first daughter was born, Aaron Taylor was 20 years old and Sam was 43 years old.
Two years later, the couple welcomed their second daughter, Romy Hero on January 18, 2012. She was born at home and later Aaron told his fans that both baby and mother are fine.
They tied a knot on June 21, 2012 at Babington House, Somerset, England and their last name was changed to Taylor-Johnson.
The reason behind changing their name was explained by the actor himself. He told London’s Evening Standard that “I just don’t see why women need to take the man’s name. I wanted to be a part of her just as much as she wanted to be part of me.”
Both parents are extremely protective of their children
Despite the fact that Aaron and his wife Sam are well-known in the public eye, the couple has kept their children’s lives secluded.
Till now, they have not posted a single picture of their children on social networking sites ever to keep them away from the paparazzi.
Once Wylda Rae Johnson was photographed with her parents on a family day out at the beach in Malibu in July 2020 but her face was blurred in the picture.
Wylda Rae Johnson’s Net Worth
As mentioned earlier, Wylda Rae Johnson comes from a rich family. Both of her parents have an estimated net worth of millions of dollars.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, her father, is apparently worth $16 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. According to the same source, Sam Taylor-Johnson, her mother, has a net worth of over $20 million.
Their family is valued at $36 million in total. This enormous wealth allows the two superstars and their children to live extravagant life.
While most people throughout the world are still fascinated with Wylda Rae Johnson. Her parents’ admirers want to know more about her, but they make sure to keep their children’s lives low-key and out of the limelight.
