Liv Tyler realized she had a half sister when their mothers brought them to the same Aerosmith concert at age 9. Liv and Mia Tyler were both playing in a VIP area backstage at the venue formerly known as Great Woods in Mansfield, Massachusetts, when a woman commented that they could be sisters. Later, Liv saw the same girl standing on the side of the stage as Aerosmith’s opening act, Guns N’ Roses, was performing “Welcome to the Jungle.” “I looked and I was like, ‘Wait, that’s me.’ It was really weird. I was literally like looking in the mirror, seeing double,” Liv said during an episode of Kate and Oliver Hudson’s podcast “Sibling Revelry.” that also featured her sister Mia. Liv had always been told Utopia front man Todd Rundgren was her father. His name even appeared on her birth certificate, and he was a father figure to her. But during the Great Woods concert, after Axl Rose dedicated the song “Sweet Child O’ Mine” to Mia, Liv Tyler’s mother broke down crying. Liv asked if Steven was her real father, and her mom told her the whole story.
