BEBE BUELL

Tyler had a brief relationship with fashion model Bebe Buell, during which he fathered actress Liv Tyler, born in 1977.

But things didn't work out due to Tyler's substance abuse, infidelity, and physical and emotional abuse. Mia was everything to Foxe.

LIV BEFORE TYLER

Born Liv Rundgren, her mother claimed that Todd Rundgren was the biological father. By then, Rundgren and Buell had ended their romantic relationship.

However, Rundgren signed the birth certificate and acted as a father figure to Liv, including paying for her education.

When she was ten or 11-years-old, Liv met Steven Tyler and suspected he was her father. She questioned her mother, who revealed the secret.

The truth about Tyler's paternity did not become public until 1991, when she changed her surname from Rundgren to Tyler. She kept Rundgren as a middle name. Liv remains close with Rundgren as she said:

"[Todd has] been such a beautiful, wonderful influence in my life and I still consider him my father."

The husband-wife duo behind the EDM band Kaneholler is expecting their first child in February of 2020. The two met in 2011 after being introduced by their mutual friend Zoe Kravitz at a party.

The sparks were immediate, and they started Kaneholler “about 48 hours after meeting,” Foster told PEOPLE in March 2015.

TAJ MONROE TALLARICO

The only son of Steven Tyler, Taj lives a private life; however, we have been able to dig up some information about his career and personal life.

Like his sister, he appeared in "Lizzie McGuire." Tallarico majors in music as a record producer and songwriter. Taj was born on January 31, 1991, and is the youngest of the Tyler clan.

He grew up surrounded by his older sister, Chelsea Tyler, and half-siblings Mia Tyler and Liv Tyler. He shares a close bond with them.

Unlike them, however, Taj maintains a low key life, but he never fails to show up on the red carpet to support his dad. The 5ft 6inch tall son of Steven Tyler has an estimated net worth of $1,000,000.

TYLER'S OTHER RELATIONSHIPS

Tyler began a relationship with Erin Brady in 2006. They got engaged in December 2011, but in January 2013, Tyler and Brady ended their engagement.

Brady, who is 25 years his junior, would have been his third wife. Currently, he's dating Aimee Preston. The match may seem odd to some as Tyler is 71-years-old, and Preston is only 30-years-old.

PAPA STEVIE

The legendary rocker also has four beautiful grandchildren: Mia’s son, Axton, and Liv’s children, Lula, Sailor, and Milo.

He revealed that their favorite thing to do with “Papa Stevie” is spending time in his indoor pool. They spend many days relaxing together as the singer has learned to value quality time.

Steven Tyler continues to make music and recently opened a home for neglected and abused women in West Tennessee.

There is no doubt the man has had a full and exciting life! He has remained a true rockstar through his ups and downs and given his fans much to talk about. What do you think about the icon and his famous children?
