Find out more about Steven’s romantic history below.

Cyrinda Foxe

Cyrinda Foxe was Steven’s first wife. The former lovebirds were married in 1978, eight years after he officially started making music with Aerosmith. Cyrinda was a ex-Warhol model at the time of the marriage, and was previously married to the New York Dolls‘ lead singer David Johansen. The couple welcomed Steven’s second child, daughter Mia Tyler, in 1978. Their marriage lasted until 1987 and Cyrinda went on to write a memoir ten years later called Dream On: Livin’ on the Edge With Steven Tyler and Aerosmith. It was all about her time with Steven. Cyrinda died from a brain tumor in 2002.

Teresa Barrick

Steven’s second wife was clothing designer Teresa Barrick, whom he was reportedly introduced to by her twin sister, Lisa Barrick. Steven and Teresa first met when he was still married to Cyrinda, but after that marriage ended, they began dating each other. They married in 1988 and had daughter Chelsea Tyler a year later. They also had son Taj Tyler in 1991. After many years of marriage, the couple announced they were separating due to personal problems in 2005. Their divorce was finalized almost a year later, in Jan. 2006.

Aimee Preston

Steven reportedly began dating his assistant Aimee Preston, who is 39 years younger than him, around 2014, but they didn’t go public with their romance until 2016. It was reported that they moved in with each other at a house in Nashville, TN, that same year. Since they went public, they have attended various events together, including Steven’s Grammys viewing party in 2022. They posed on the carpet of the event, with Steven rocking a long black coat over a white buttoned top and black and white patterned pants, and Aimee in a sparkly blue dress with silver stars.

Other notable relationships

In addition to his two marriages and long-term relationship with Aimee, Steven has been romantically involved with various partners over the years. He was reportedly high school sweethearts with Michele Overman at Roosevelt High School in Yonkers, New York in the 1960s and also reportedly dated groupie Deborah Benson and socialite Lynn Collins that same decade.

Before he married Cyrinda, he had a reported encounter with Boston, MA radio personality Maxanne Sartori. He also briefly dated fashion model Bebe Buell and they welcomed his first child, daughter Liv Tyler in 1977. At the time of Liv’s birth, Bebe claimed singer Todd Rundgren was the father to protect her baby from Steven’s drug addiction, but the truth eventually came out in 1991, when Liv changed her last name from Rundgren to Tyler.

In 1975, Steven became the guardian of 16-year-old groupie, Julia Holcomb, the same woman who accused him of sexual assault around that time in 2023. He reportedly persuaded her parents to become her guardian and they ended up dating and living together in Boston from 1975 until 1978. During this time, it’s also been rumored that Steven dated costume designer and actress Brenda Cooper. He went on to have an encounter with Carol Miller in the late 1970s, according to her memoir Up All Night: My Life and Times in Rock Radio.

It was rumored Steven had an affair with singer and dancer Jo Jo Laine in the 1980s, and from 2002 until 2005, years after both of Steven’s marriages, he was romantically linked to other various women, including model Justina Crosslin, singer Carly Simon, Russian model Olga Gomonova, and Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger‘s daughter, Elizabeth Jagger. He ended up having a long-term relationship with Erin Brady. It started in 2006 and they became engaged in Dec. 2011, but ended up splitting in Jan. 2013.  Shortly after the split, he was romantically linked to Leven Rambin after they were spotted kissing each other at a 2013 Oscars after party, but she later reportedly debunked the rumors by explaining they were just greeting each other as friends.
