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 and/or life:
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The further through life I drift
The more obvious it becomes that I am lacking in thrift.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
