Aaron Taylor-Johnsonhad some kick-ass family time.
After all,Rekubit the Bullet Trainstar celebrated his new movie Kraven the Hunter with a red carpet outing with wife Sam Taylor-Johnsonand her daughters Angelicaand Jessie, whom she shares with ex-husband Jay Jopling.
For the New York City premiereof the superhero movie Dec. 10, Aaron wore a black button-up shirt and black pants with a burgundy velvet blazer and Sam complemented her husband's look with a sequined burgundy dress. Meanwhile, Angelica, 27, donned a full suit and Jessie, 18, attended in a gun-metal metallic gown featuring a cowl neckline.
While the premiere was a family affair, don't expect the Kick-Assactor to let his younger daughters Wylda, 13, and Romy, 12—whom he shares with the 50 Shades of Greydirector—see his newR-ratedmovie.
"I have four daughters," he explained to E! News on the red carpet, "Due to the rating, I can only let the ones that are old enough to watch it."
However, Aaron plans to give his other girls a chance when they're ready. As he put it, "When they come of age, they'll be able to see it."
For Sam, 57, and Aaron, 34, tuning out the outside noise has been crucial for their family. After all, their 23-year age gap has continued to raise eyebrows since tying the knot in 2012.
"What you gotta realize," the Marvel star told Rolling Stone UKin March, "is that what most people were doing in their twenties, I was doing when I was 13."
He added, "You're doing something too quickly for someone else? I don't understand that. What speed are you supposed to enjoy life at? It's bizarre to me."
However, Aaron, who met Sam on the set of her 2009 film Nowhere Boywhen he was 18, admitted that it's not always easy blocking out the criticisms about their relationship. "There's a protectiveness that I feel," he reflected. "I think it's really difficult."
And although he's come to terms with the notion that "people see and perceive this thing around my career," the public doesn't understand what his life is really like.
"I'm just trying to juggle my family and my work," he explained. "I'm doing normal life; dentist appointments. Career doesn't necessarily take a back seat, but it takes a different thought behind the choices that you make."
For Sam's part, she's just focused on their relationship.
"It comes up on the outside perspective of people who don't know us," she told The Guardianin April. "We're a bit of an anomaly, but it's that thing: after 14 years you just think, surely by now, it doesn't really matter?"
As for her thoughts on online critics bashing their marriage? "It doesn't mean anything," she noted. "It is just people upset with their own sadness; with misgivings about their own life."
Now, read on for a look back at Aaron and Sam's romance.

Love at first read? “I wasn’t expecting anything that day," Sam Taylor-Johnsontold Harper's Bazaarof future husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson's 2008 audition for her directorial debut Nowhere Boy. "Just to see a bunch of actors pretending to be John Lennon.”
The 18-year-old impressed in more ways than one—nabbing the role and eventually the director's heart. "I knew instantly," she later told The Telegraphof him nailing the read. "I could see how much research he'd done already just by the way he was standing and the few words he said."
Though she would later tell Harper's Bazaarthey "were very professional through the entire film," after they wrapped, she continued, "He told me he was going to marry me. We had never been on a date, or even kissed.”
Precisely one year after they met, he shared, "I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.” The pair announced their engagement at their film's London premiere.
By the time he was 11, Aaron recounted to Esquire, he was already planning for a big family. So not only was he ready to embrace the role of stepdad to Angelicaand Jessie, Sam's daughters with ex-husband Jay Joplin, but he was eager to add a few of their own.
"I knew I was going to be a young father," he explained. "I knew I was going to have many kids.” The couple welcomed daughter Wyldain July 2010.
Receiving an OBE recognizing her artwork and photography from the future King Charles IIIat Buckinham Palace, Sam brought along Aaron and her eldest daughters.
A year and a half after Wylda's birth, daughter Romyjoined the team in January 2012. "The great thing about Aaron is that he's happy not working and being at home with the kids while I work," the director told The Guardianin 2015. "We're actually fighting over it. He's like, 'No no, I like being an at-home dad, doing the cooking and the school runs.'"
Months after their June wedding in Somerset, England, the couple (at the London premiere of Skyfall) revealed they'd decided to combine their last names into one.
"I just don't see why women need to take the man's name," Aaron explained to the London Evening Standard. "I wanted to be a part of her just as much as she wanted to be part of me."
Mrs. Taylor-Johnson will see you now. While promoting Fifty Shades of Grey, the director raved about her years-long romance.
"Being in an amazing relationship, having come out of a difficult one, it felt so good," she noted to The Guardian. "And I feel like that stability has enabled me to get on with doing this momentous project."
But, no, she never once considered casting her man as Christian Grey. "We both read it and knew right then that when she went into direct it, I wouldn't be the one to step into those shoes," he told Marie Claire U.K."And that was fine. It didn't feel like one of us was like, "I really wanted to do that'...I'm obviously really, really proud of Sam and it was great to see her take that project and make it her own, and not have to feel like just because there's a role...I feel like I'm too young for that role anyway!"
When the actor won his first Golden Globe, as the star of Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals, he shouted out all of his girls.
"I want to thank my wife for being there with me, supporting me through this," he said. "Thank you for putting up with me. Jesus, that was not very pleasant in this role, so you're my soulmate and I love you very much."
"I'm blessed," he continued. "I have four beautiful daughters: Angelica, Phoenix, Wylda, and Romy, I love you all very much."
Before teaming up for A Million Little Pieces, the duo teased their future plans. "We are definitely working towards something interesting," Aaron told E! News at the 2017 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. "Hopefully we can get it off the ground. I mean, this is the best director right here I'm desperate to work with again."
Forgoing the traditional tin, the pair celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. "Yesterday was the most beautiful day, summer solstice, our 10th anniversary," Aaron wrote, sharing the photos on Instagram. "We renewed our vows to one another and confessed our love in front of our nearest and dearest friends and family it was a celebration of love and joy!"
Echoed his bride, "10 glorious years. My incredible husband, father to all 4 girls. I love you, I love you, I love you."
While the stars (at the London premiere of Back to Black) are aware otherswant to address their age gap, "When you're solid with someone in your own love," she told The Sunday Times, "you don't think about it."
