SAM TAYLOR-JOHNSON

began a relationship with actor Aaron Johnson after meeting him on the 2009 set of her directorial debut Nowhere Boy about John Lennon’s life, when Aaron was 18 and she was 42.

It seems the Beatles continue to feature prominently in her life. ‘Afternoon tea with my girls,’ is how she captioned this photo on Instagram yesterday. Sam, 50, is snapped with two of Sir Paul McCartney’s daughters, Mary, 47, (right) and her fashion designer sister Stella, 45 (centre).

Aaron, father of two children with Sam, reaches the grand old age of 27 this June. Let’s hope the girls invite him to join them for a celebratory birthday tea. Extra soya milk and tofu cake all round.
