Neither King, Taylor-Johnson, nor their partners have spoken publicly about the claims.

Taylor-Johnson's marriage has long faced scrutiny because of him and his wife's 23-year age-gap.

They met in 2008, when he was 18 and she was 42, when he starred in her debut film. He proposed to Sam as soon as they wrapped.

"We had never been on a date, or even kissed. And a year to the minute after we met, exactly one year to the minute, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me," Aaron told Harper's Bazaar.

"I knew instantly that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this person."

The couple announced their engagement in 2009, and in July 2010, they welcomed their first daughter, Wylda Rae. 

Two years later, in 2012, their second daughter, Romy Hero, was born.

Joey King met her now-fiancé Steven Piet on set when filming the TV series, The Act, in 2019.

The couple got engaged in February 2022.

"I never knew happiness could be so powerful that it can take the air from your lungs, overwhelming every part of you that you can't help but feel your eyes well from the undeniable joy," she wrote on Instagram announcing the news.

 "The date was 2/2/22 when you asked me to marry you and made me the luckiest lady alive. I love you more than an Instagram caption could ever do justice. 

"Hanging out with you forever sounds like a real dream, so let's do it."
