Hold onto your scarves, Aerosmith fans—rumors swirled that Steven Tyler and longtime girlfriend Aimee Preston called it quits after over a decade together. But sources close to the couple are shutting that down fast. TMZ's initial report got a quick reality check.
Oh, the drama! TMZ dropped the bomb on December 19, claiming Steven Tyler, the 77-year-old Aerosmith legend, and his 38-year-old girlfriend Aimee Preston had broken up. Multiple sources with direct knowledge told them the couple has called it quits, though it's unclear when they separated or what led to the split. Picture this: Steven hired Aimee as his personal assistant way back in 2012. They started dating in 2014 but kept it low-key until the 2016 Oscars, where they went public holding hands at Elton John's AIDS Foundation viewing party. Despite that whopping 39-year age gap, they made it work for over a decade, with Aimee by his side at Hollywood events, premieres, and red carpets galore. The report even hinted that the 'sweet emotions' had fizzled, and they were no longer 'crazy' about each other. Messy, right? 😏
But plot twist! Just hours later, at 1:05 PM PT, TMZ hit back with an update: 'Sources close to the couple tell TMZ they have NOT broken up and are just fine.' So, was it all a false alarm? Multiple outlets echoed the initial split buzz, confirming the timeline from PA to power couple, but this denial from insiders close to them throws major shade on the tea. No word on why the rumor even started—allegedly just whispers that escalated. Aimee has been Steven's rock through his vocal issues and comebacks, often spotted serving looks on his arm.
With Aerosmith's legacy still rocking, is this just Hollywood smoke, or is there fire we don't see? Sources say they're solid, but in celeb land, who really knows? Spill more if you hear it, darlings.
