A Revelatory Encounter at an Aerosmith Concert

In an astonishing twist of fate, Liv and Mia Tyler unveiled the wild story of how they discovered they were sisters, a tale that sounds straight out of a Hollywood screenplay. Appearing on the 'Sibling Revelry' podcast hosted by Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson, the sisters took listeners on a nostalgic journey back to their unforgettable first meeting.

The Family Background That Shaped Their Lives

For context, the legendary Steven Tyler of Aerosmith has four children with three different women. Liv is the eldest, born to Bebe Buell, while Mia came from Steven's first marriage to Cyrinda Foxe. Liv grew up in Maine, believing her father was Todd Rundgren, while Mia was raised in New Hampshire. It wasn't until Liv was nearly ten that her world turned upside down when she learned of her true paternity.

A Nostalgic Concert Experience

Flashback to 1976: Bebe Buell met Steven Tyler, leading to Liv's conception. Due to Steven’s lifestyle, Bebe left, choosing to raise Liv with Rundgren. Fast forward to the late '80s, the two sisters were finally brought together at an Aerosmith concert, marking a moment neither would forget.

The Moment of Recognition

The sisters reminisced about that special night when they met backstage. "There were no kids backstage, so we played hard," Mia recalled. In a twist of fate, a fan pointed out their striking resemblance, prompting them to pretend they were sisters—a notion that felt oddly true.

Liv's memories of that night were vibrant; she was captivated by the performance of Guns N' Roses. Then, she spotted Mia across the stage. "Looking at her was like looking in the mirror," she described, both girls flaunting similar outfits and hairstyles, a surreal reflection of each other.

An Emotional Revelation

Amidst their playful antics, Liv noticed tears streaming down her mother’s face. "I wondered, 'Is Steven my dad?'" she recounted. That evening turned pivotal, as her mother shared the heartfelt story of Liv's origins, shattering her previous beliefs and introducing her to Mia.

Navigating Family Dynamics

While the revelation was exhilarating, it also stirred complex feelings for Liv regarding her bond with Todd Rundgren. "I love him dearly, but it's tough," she admitted, emphasizing the emotional intricacies of family ties.
