Just twelve months after giving birth to Wylda Rae, Sam Taylor Wood and Aaron Johnson are again expecting.

This will be her fourth child - she has two daughters with ex-husband Jay Jopling.

Sam, 44, and Aaron, 21, have raised eyebrows for their 23-year age difference.

But the mother-to-be revealed that starting a family was her fiancé's idea.

"Aaron, almost before anything started between us, said he wanted kids. He was very clear about wanting a family.

"We hardly go out now, it's just us. You know what I used to be like. Aaron has brought a set of values I didn't even know I was looking for, family values."

The Kick-Ass actor - who met Sam when she cast him to play a young John Lennon in Nowhere Man - said of his relationship.

"I'm in love, I'm blissfully content. No one's getting hurt. We're in a loving relationship. We're engaged. Everyone who matters is happy. Exactly which bit of that do I have to defend or apologise for?"
