I laways wondered about, especially since, as far as I can remember, her name was always Liv TYLER, not Liv Rundgren.
That was because by the time she was in the public eye her paternity was known. However her surname prior to her knowing was Rundgren
Tyler was born Liv Rundgren at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
At Liv's birth, Buell claimed that rock star, Todd Rundgren, with whom Buell had been living since 1972, was Tyler's biological father. At age eight Tyler discovered that she was Steven Tyler's daughter after meeting him and noticing a resemblance she shared with his other daughter, Mia.
When she asked her mother about the similarity, the secret was revealed. The truth about Tyler's paternity did not become public until five years later in 1991, when she changed her name from Rundgren to Tyler, but kept the former as a middle name
