Steven Tyler’s spokesperson recently refuted rumors of a breakup between the Aerosmith frontman and his long-time girlfriend Aimee Preston. A TMZ report initially suggested that the couple had split after a decade together, but sources close to them later clarified that Tyler and Preston are still together and doing well.
The couple first met in 2012 when Preston was hired as Tyler’s personal assistant, and they began dating in 2014. They made their first public appearance as a couple in 2016 at an Academy Awards viewing party. Despite their 39-year age gap, Tyler and Preston have kept their relationship relatively private, only sharing glimpses on social media and at events.
In March 2020, Preston posted a muddy photo with Tyler to celebrate his birthday, joking about the unconventional celebration during quarantine. Tyler, who has four children from previous marriages, has been a devoted partner to Preston despite his busy schedule as a rock icon.
In a significant development, Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring in 2024 due to Tyler’s vocal injury. The band had embarked on their farewell tour but had to cancel it after Tyler suffered a vocal injury and larynx fracture. The decision to retire from touring was a difficult one for the band, who expressed gratitude to their fans for supporting them throughout the years.
The statement released by Aerosmith mentioned Tyler’s unique voice as an irreplaceable instrument and explained that his vocal injury would prevent him from making a full recovery. Fans who had purchased tickets for the tour were assured of refunds, and the band thanked them for their understanding.
In a separate legal matter, Tyler is facing a jury trial for a sexual assault lawsuit filed by Julia Misley, alleging misconduct dating back to the 1970s. The trial, initially set for October 2025, has been postponed to May 2026, adding a layer of complexity to Tyler’s personal life.
Overall, Steven Tyler’s professional and personal life continues to be a topic of interest for fans and the media. Despite challenges and rumors, Tyler and Preston’s relationship remains strong, and Aerosmith’s legacy endures even as they bid farewell to the touring stage.
