Four adult children — four distinct records, not one inherited rock-star career
Steven Tyler’s 4 Children: Liv, Mia, Chelsea and Taj

Quick answer: Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has four adult children: Liv Tyler, born 1 July 1977; Mia Tyler, born 22 December 1978; Chelsea Tyler, born 6 March 1989; and Taj Tallarico, born 31 January 1991. They are 49, 47, 37 and 35 on 14 August 2026.
Liv has a substantial acting career. Mia’s established record spans modelling, acting and a memoir. Chelsea formed the electronic-soul duo Kaneholler with Jon Foster. Taj has one dated childhood screen credit but no strong current public occupation.
That last distinction matters. Many family profiles turn a 2002 television appearance into a present acting career, or use an inactive project as if it were a current job. This guide dates the evidence instead.
The four children have three mothers, and Liv’s childhood also includes Todd Rundgren’s important parental role. A clear family map can acknowledge that without turning a private history into gossip.
Steven Tyler’s children at a glance
| Child | Mother | Age on 14 August 2026 | Documented public record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liv Tyler | Bebe Buell | 49 | Established film and television actor |
| Mia Tyler | Cyrinda Foxe | 47 | Model, actor and memoir author; current role less public |
| Chelsea Tyler | Teresa Barrick | 37 | Documented Kaneholler musician; current activity not assumed |
| Taj Tallarico | Teresa Barrick | 35 | Private adult; no verified current occupation |
All four are adults. Chelsea and Taj are full siblings; Liv and Mia are their paternal half-sisters.
Steven Tyler was born Steven Tallarico. Taj uses the family surname Tallarico publicly, while the sisters are known professionally as Tyler.
What is Liv Tyler known for?
Liv is the eldest child and has an independently established acting career. Her credits include Stealing Beauty, Armageddon, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and television work.
She was born Liv Rundgren and grew up believing musician Todd Rundgren was her biological father. Liv has described Rundgren as a father figure even after learning Steven Tyler was her biological father.
That history needs precise language: Steven is her biological father, Bebe Buell is her mother, and Rundgren held a meaningful parental role. One relationship does not erase the other.

What is Mia Tyler’s public record?
Mia is Steven Tyler and Cyrinda Foxe’s daughter. She built a visible modelling career, appeared on screen and published the 2009 memoir Creating Myself.
Aerosmith’s 1979 song “Mia” was named for her, but the song is her father’s work rather than her profession. Her own modelling, screen and writing records should be named separately.
Recent high-authority coverage provides less detail about a single current job. It is accurate to describe the established body of work and avoid inventing a fixed 2026 title.
What is current about Chelsea and Taj?
Chelsea and her husband Jon Foster formed Kaneholler in 2011. The electronic-soul duo released and performed music, with contemporary interviews documenting Chelsea’s own creative role.
That record is real, but a 2015 interview does not prove the duo is actively touring or recording in 2026. “Kaneholler musician” is a documented career description; “currently touring” would require current evidence.
Taj remains comparatively private. He appeared with family in a 2002 episode of Lizzie McGuire. One childhood credit does not establish a present acting career, and KidsCo found no strong current occupational source.
How do the three parent branches connect?
| Child | Parent branch | Important qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Liv | Steven Tyler and Bebe Buell | Todd Rundgren also held a formative parental role |
| Mia | Steven Tyler and Cyrinda Foxe | Only child of that marriage |
| Chelsea | Steven Tyler and Teresa Barrick | Full sibling of Taj |
| Taj | Steven Tyler and Teresa Barrick | Private adult; Tallarico surname |
The siblings have appeared together at family and charitable events. A photograph can establish that dated gathering, but it cannot prove an everyday emotional relationship.
Grandchildren are a separate generation and do not change Steven Tyler’s four-child count.
How should career claims be kept current?
| Person | Strong evidence | 2026 wording |
|---|---|---|
| Liv | Long credited film and television catalogue | Established actor |
| Mia | Modelling, screen and published memoir records | Documented multi-field career; current role open |
| Chelsea | Kaneholler releases and direct interviews | Documented musician; activity not overstated |
| Taj | One childhood television appearance | Private adult; no verified current occupation |
A famous parent increases search demand but does not lower the evidence threshold. Credits should be attributable, dated and assigned to the correct sibling.
This is especially useful for Taj: “private” describes the available public record; it is not a personality diagnosis.
What current Steven Tyler profiles should correct
The immediate correction is age: Liv is 49, Mia 47, Chelsea 37 and Taj 35. The second is to distinguish established career history from current activity.
The third is family structure. Liv’s connection to both Steven Tyler and Todd Rundgren is not well served by forcing one man out of the account.
| Weak shortcut | Reader-first correction | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Old ages copied forward | Use exact birth dates and a review date | Current answer |
| All four “followed him into entertainment” | Separate substantial, historical and absent career evidence | Individual accuracy |
| Taj called an actor from one episode | Name the 2002 appearance only | No career invention |
| Rundgren erased from Liv’s story | Describe biological and parental roles precisely | Complete family context |
