Back in May, Sam said she finds conversations centered around age gaps “strange.”

“When people make films or talk about it or question it or dissect it, it is so strange to me,” she said of age gaps. “When people fall in love, they fall in love.”

Speaking more directly of her and Aaron’s marriage, Sam recalled, “Everyone at the beginning said, ‘It’s a terrible idea, it’s not gonna work,’ and then you’re, like, 15 years down the road and have raised four kids and you’re like, ‘Really?’”

A couple of months prior, Aaron seemingly defended getting married to Sam so young.

When asked about being “judged about doing things at certain ages,” Aaron told Rolling Stone UK, “What you gotta realize is that what most people were doing in their 20s, I was doing when I was 13.”
