Liv and Mia Tyler Discover Their Sisterhood at Aerosmith Concert at Age 9 and 8

Liv Tyler and Mia Tyler, daughters of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, have shared the story of their first meeting and the discovery of their familial connection. The sisters, who are 18 months apart in age, met for the first time at an Aerosmith concert at Great Woods when they were 9 and 8 years old, respectively. They were unaware of their sisterhood until that moment, despite sharing the same father. Liv Tyler grew up in Maine believing that musician Todd Rundgren was her father, as he had signed her birth certificate and played a fatherly role in her life. However, during the concert, while Guns N' Roses was performing, Liv noticed Mia in the VIP area, who looked strikingly similar to her, and questioned her mother, Bebe Buell, about Steven Tyler's paternity. Bebe confirmed that Steven was indeed Liv's biological father, leading to an emotional revelation on a bench at the outdoor amphitheater, where she told Liv the whole story in a sincere, beautiful way. Mia Tyler, raised by Steven Tyler and Cyrinda Foxe in New Hampshire, also learned about her sister that night. The sisters, who were both wearing an Aerosmith T-shirt, black leggings, Reebok sneakers, and had similar perms, braces, and pink lipstick, bonded over their shared experience and have maintained a close relationship since. Liv described the moment of meeting Mia as 'looking in the mirror, seeing your double.' They started sending postcards to each other after the concert. The revelation of Steven Tyler's paternity had a significant impact on Liv's family dynamics. She noted that Todd Rundgren, who had been a father figure to her, likely found the news 'still very hard and painful.' Despite this, Liv expressed gratitude for the love she received from both Rundgren and Steven Tyler, reflecting on the complexity of her family situation and the possibility of having 'two dads' and 'two Christmases.'
