Liv Tyler is known for her roles in movies like “Empire Records,” “The Lord of The Rings,” “Jersey Girl,” “Armageddon,” and more (via IMDb). The actress was born in 1977 to model Bebe Buell. At the time, Buell was coming off of a brief fling with singer Steven Tyler, the frontman of Aerosmith. When Liv was born, her mother was living with singer Todd Rundgren, who stepped up to become a father to the little girl. “Todd basically decided when I was born that I needed a father, so he signed my birth certificate. He knew that there was a chance that I might not be his but …” Liv told Wonderland in 2011.
At age 8, Liv finally met Steven when he showed up at one of Rundgren’s concerts. “He bought me a Shirley Temple. I fell madly in love with him. I had no idea who he was,” she recalled. Years afterward, when she was 11, Liv remembers having Steven’s poster on her wall and wondering if they were related, per Interview Magazine.

At the time, Buell opted to keep the truth of her daughter’s paternity quiet because Steven was reportedly dealing with a serious drug addiction. After Steven completed a stint in rehab, he and Liv were able to spend time together and develop a relationship. They became close and even worked together on a music video as she was establishing her acting career.
