Steven Tyler, the 68-year-old Aerosmith frontman, and his girlfriend Aimee Ann Preston, 28, have ended their relationship after 11 years together, according to sources close to the couple. The pair, who began dating in 2012 when Preston worked as Tyler's personal assistant, had been seen together as recently as December 2016 at a United Nations event in New York City, where Preston was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger, sparking engagement rumours.
Preston, a former assistant to Donald Trump at the Trump Organization, had been with Tyler since 2012. The couple had a significant age gap, with Tyler being 40 years her senior. Tyler has been married twice before, to Cyrinda Foxe from 1978 to 1987 and to Teresa Barrick from 1988 to 2006. He has four children: Liv Tyler, Mia Tyler, Chelsea, and Taj.
The split comes as a surprise to fans, as the couple had appeared happy and affectionate at public events. Neither Tyler nor Preston has commented publicly on the breakup. Representatives for Tyler have not responded to requests for comment.
