Rock legend Steven Tyler has reportedly ended his long-term relationship with girlfriend Aimee Preston, bringing their eleven-year romance to a close. The news was first reported by celebrity news outlet TMZ on Friday.
End of a Red Carpet Romance
The 77-year-old Aerosmith singer and 38-year-old Preston are said to have parted ways at some point earlier this year. The couple were a familiar sight on red carpets, frequently photographed kissing, hugging, and holding hands.
Their last public appearance as a couple was in February 2024 at the Jam for Janie GRAMMY Awards Viewing Party in Hollywood. Before that, they looked smitten on the carpet in April 2022.
From Assistant to Partner: A Relationship Timeline
The pair first met in 2012 when Tyler hired Preston as his personal assistant. Their professional relationship eventually blossomed into a romantic one.
Preston was a steadfast support during Tyler's struggles with addiction. She stood by him in May 2022 when he voluntarily returned to rehab after a relapse triggered by pain medication following foot surgery. This health-focused decision led Aerosmith to cancel several Las Vegas residency dates that year.
Steven Tyler has a long and public history with addiction and sobriety, making Preston's supportive role during that period particularly significant.
Tyler's Family and Past Engagements
The iconic rocker is a father to four children from previous relationships:
- Actress Liv Tyler, whose mother is model Bebe Buell.
- Mia Tyler, his daughter with ex-wife Cyrinda Foxe. The couple divorced in 1987.
- Chelsea Anna Tallarico and Taj Monroe Tallarico with Teresa Barrick, from whom he separated in 2005.
Prior to his relationship with Aimee Preston, Tyler was engaged to Erin Brady. That engagement was called off in January 2013.
In a lighter, if controversial, revelation from 2018, Tyler admitted on James Corden's Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts that he had once flirted with one of his daughter Liv's famous friends. He recounted an awkward encounter with actress Cameron Diaz in a van after a party.
