Aaron Taylor-Johnson has given a rare update on his relationship with Sam Taylor-Johnson after speculation the pair had split.
The James Bond favourite was spotted without his wedding ring earlier this month, leading fans to believe they may have called it quits.
Along with fresh speculation around their fairly private 12-year marriage, the pictures also reignited the huge discourse around the pair’s age-gap relationship.
Their relationship has always sparked interest given they started dating in 2009 – when Aaron was 18 and the Back to Black director was 42.
However, the Fall Guy star has made it clear their romance is very much still with some sun-soaked holiday snaps with his wife.
‘🌈🌊 little get away 💕,’ he captioned the post, which included a dump of photos from their trip.

The first picture showed off a shirtless Aaron, 34, who wrapped his arm around Sam, 57, who wore a bikini top and denim shorts.
In another picture, the Kick-Ass actor posed with a cigarette, again shirtless with his Calvin Kleins peaking over the top of his shorts.
Selfies of the pair together and general holiday pics, which showed off his more playful side as he jumped and did handstands in the sunshine.
For the most part, the couple, who married in 2012, keep their relationship and family out of the spotlight.
Aaron was out for dinner in London when fans noticed his wedding band was missing just weeks after he was at the Venice Film Festival with the ring on.

Despite the online speculation, the couple remained quiet and did not address the missing ring even when posting their holiday snaps.
Earlier this year, Aaron gave a rare interview and told Rolling Stone UK that the gap has never bothered him.
‘What you gotta realize is that what most people were doing in their 20s, I was doing when I was 13,’ Aaron told the publication in March.
‘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.’

Aaron has called Sam, who he met while working on her film Nowhere Boy, his ‘soulmate’ and said that he knew she was the one right away.
Two years ago, Sam and Aaron celebrated their 10-year anniversary by renewing their vows at a ‘beautiful’ ceremony.
Posting about the celebrations on Instagram, he wrote: ‘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! A decade of marriage.’
The pair have two children, Wylda, 13, and Romy, 11, with Aaron becoming a father for the first time at 20; he is also stepfather to Sam’s two children from a previous marriage: Angelica, 27, and 18-year-old Jessie.
