For the first nine years of her life, Liv Tyler (born July 1, 1977 as Liv Rundgren) was raised by Rundgren and her mother, Bebe Buell, as though Rundgren was Liv's father. At Liv's birth, Buell had claimed, that Rundgren was Liv's biological father. Rundgren and Buell were together for five years but split shortly after Liv's birth. At age nine, Liv Tyler discovered, that she was Steven Tyler's daughter. Still, Todd and Liv remain close and Liv has stated that she considers him her "spiritual father". In 1998, Rundgren married Michele Gray (Michele Rundgren), who had been a dancer with The Tubes and performed with Rundgren as a backup singer on the tour for his Nearly Human album.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Impartial. Unable to perceive any promise of personal advantage from espousing either side of a controversy.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“Human contacts have been so highly valued in the past only because reading was not a common accomplishment.... The world, you must remember, is only just becoming literate. As reading becomes more and more habitual and widespread, an ever-increasing number of people will discover that books will give them all the pleasures of social life and none of its intolerable tedium.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
