Liv and Mia Tyler recently opened up about their emotional first meeting, shedding light on the fact that they were unaware of their sisterly bond at the time. The touching revelation occurred during an episode of the iHeart Radio podcast ‘Sibling Revelry With Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson’ on Sunday, April 13. Liv, aged 47, engaged in a candid conversation with her younger sister Mia, aged 46, reminiscing about the moment they first encountered each other. These half-sisters both share iconic rocker Steven Tyler as their father, the lead vocalist of the legendary band Aerosmith.
Liv and Mia took a trip down memory lane, recalling their separate upbringings in New Hampshire and Maine until the ages of eight and nine, when their respective mothers, Bebe Buell and Cyrinda Foxe, brought them together at the same memorable Aerosmith concert. The podcast episode delved deeper into their unique family dynamic, providing listeners with a glimpse into the complexities of their intertwined lives.

During the podcast, Mia shared a vivid memory from that fateful concert, “I remember there were no kids backstage. So we played hard that night. And we were at this VIP area, outside of the green rooms, and we were just like, you know, doing our eight and nine-year-old thing, and this fan lady came up and she was like ‘oh my god, you girls are so cute. Are you guys sisters?'” Liv then elaborated on her upbringing, revealing the intricate details of her childhood. Growing up, she was under the care of her grandparents in Maine during a turbulent period in her father’s journey towards sobriety. Consequently, Liv was under the impression that she was the daughter of rockstar Todd Rundgren, who played a significant role in her upbringing and even signed her birth certificate in 1977.
The revelation of her true parentage and the existence of her sister Mia came in quick succession for Liv. As Mia reminisced about a significant night at an Aerosmith concert where Guns N’ Roses were the opening act, Liv shared her emotional recollection of the moment. “We got tickets and we went to the audience and we were standing, and Guns N’ Roses was playing and I was so excited because I just like loved Guns N’ Roses. And on the side of the stage was this one girl standing there.” The moment when Liv realised the uncanny resemblance between herself and Mia was a pivotal moment that left her feeling like she was looking at her mirror image.
Liv’s mother played a crucial role in unveiling the truth about their familial connection that night, which brought about a wave of mixed emotions for Liv. “My mom was bawling, and I was like, ‘is Steven my dad?’ and she just burst. She took me to a bench and we sat on at an outdoor amphitheater, and she told me the whole story in the most sincere, beautiful way.” The podcast episode shed light on the complexities of family relationships and the profound impact of discovering hidden truths.
Following the revelation, Liv embarked on a journey to build a relationship with her biological father and sister while navigating the emotional aftermath with Todd Rundgren, her surrogate father figure. Liv expressed understanding towards Rundgren’s feelings, acknowledging the challenges and complexities that arose from the newfound revelations about her parentage. The podcast episode served as a platform for the sisters to reflect on their shared experiences and the intricate tapestry of their family history.
Liv and Mia Tyler’s story is a testament to the power of familial bonds and the resilience of the human spirit in navigating complex family dynamics. Their journey towards acceptance and understanding serves as an inspiration for others grappling with similar revelations and underscores the importance of love and connection in the face of unexpected discoveries. The podcast episode not only provided a platform for Liv and Mia to share their story but also shed light on the universal theme of family ties and the enduring impact of revelations on individual identities.
