Liv Tyler overheard seeking lawyer’s divorce advice over the phone


30 year-old Liv Tyler has been married to British musician Royston Langdon, formerly of the group Spacehog and now in Arckid, for five years. They have son Milo, nearly three and half, and live a relatively low-key life in NY together. All may not be well in their relationship, however. US Weekly reports that Liv was overheard on the phone talking to a lawyer about a potential divorce. She is also said to have been looking for a townhouse without her husband.

Liv Tyler [was] overheard… talking on the phone with a lawyer and seeking advice on getting a divorce without surrendering much of her money. “In the conversation, she complained about her husband being a ‘leech’ on her assets, and said she got married too young,” says the source. (The duo began dating when she was just 21.) Tyler – who said in 2004, “I don’t believe in divorce” – admitted to Hot Stuff in February that she had no plans for Valentine’s Day and even forgot about the holiday…

On April 9, the actress… was seen hunting for townhouses in nYC’s West village – without Langdon, who was playing with their son in a nearby park.

[From US Weekly, print edition, May 12, 2008]

I almost bought US’ claim that Tyler was looking for a townhouse on her own, but if her husband was playing with their son in a park right near where she was, it sounds like he just was taking over daddy duties and letting her have the first look.

If it’s true that she was on the phone complaining about her husband, maybe she was just talking to a friend and it was misconstrued by someone who overheard.

Tyler is about to play the heroine in The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton, which is out on June 13. Once she start making more public appearances look out for more gossip about the state of her marriage.

Liv Tyler is shown at the Iron Man afterparty on 4/28/08, and out with her family for her 30th birthday on 7/1/07, thanks to WENN.

    nah, i don´t buy that. seems like people are always waiting for celebs to divorce like a lion for its prey.

  2. headache says:

    I think Liv’s marriage is probably just fine.

    I can only speak from my own experience, but I can tell you that it’s incredibly frustrating to be working hard to make a living when your husband/partner is not and not even trying to. My ex used to be lying around on a couch in some red boxer shorts when I left for work in the morning and he was still on the sofa wearing the same red shorts when I came home. Not sure how much Liv’s husband is doing, but I’m a music fan and I’ve never heard of Arckid.

    Lengthy marriages are the exception in Hollyweird and I hope she’s the exception for once. She looks fab for 30 🙂

  5. Cindy Kennedy says:

    This horse-faced woman really capitalized on the fact that she is Steven Tyler’s daughter. That’s how she got into the acting business, otherwise nobody would have hired her.

  6. Huh?!!! says:

    “She looks fab for 30”? Um, how old are you–16? Because unless you’re a teenager, there is no excuse for thinking 30 is old. I think we all know most women hit their sexies in their thirties…
    I hope you were just being facetious

  7. Sasha says:

    30 in Hollywood is 60 in the real world, babe. To reach that age in that environment and not look like a stretched out, badly made saddle is a miracle.

  8. gg says:

    I agree, but if she lives in New York, that would help to explain why she doesn’t look like aged corinthian leather.

    btw, I really hate her eyeliner done like that. She’s a pretty girl and it takes away from her natural good looks. That kinda goes for most everybody, though. Somebody send Avril Lavigne and Jared Leto the memo.

    Also, Candykay, I HEAR YA. I dumped my first husband for the very same stupid red shorts, the loser.

    lol… “To reach that age in that environment and not look like a stretched out, badly made saddle is a miracle”

    That harsh environment of top dollar skin & hair care, nutritionists, personal trainers & month long vacations… how in the world does she do it? 🙄

  10. gg says:

    It’s all genes and the amount of sun you’re exposed to. If you live out west, you’re screwed.

  11. headache says:

    I don’t think it’s a matter of what coast you live on so much as embracing your natural skin tone.

    She and Jennifer Connely are stunning!! And I admire them both for being true to their natural beauty and not conforming to hollywood’s tanned and highlighted standards.

  12. Geronimo says:

    Well said, headache. That slightly helps me get over my disbelief at someone calling this stunning woman ‘horse-faced’…??

  13. Fan of Stephen & Liv says:

    Whoever called Liv a “horse-faced” better take a look in the mirror.She is beautiful
    and nothing artificial about her.Unlike a
    lot of celebrities.Take Pamela Anderson for instance,she shows the world what she’s has whether it’s fake or not.Now Liv
    has to take this crap from idiots that don’t realize true beauty and natural beauty when they see it.Take a seat on the
    back aisle and shut up,you only wish you looked as good as her!!

  14. patty says:

    when in this article liv had quoted herself she does not believe in divorce maybe it was if though she find the one right person took her time to finding the right person. now whether this is true or not she may want to rething about divorce if she is saying her husband is a leeche it will onyl get worse as time goes on. i dont believe in marriage for myself for many personal reasons n with the divorce rate going up as the years go on it makes me think twice before taking a huge step in the direction of marriagei even know that im not even married in the 1st place. live is a very beautiful natural true person she is smart and will go with what in her heart from the looks of this article on her judgement of character she admitted to getting married to young should of waited until she was older and more ready.

  15. patty says:

    they say married to young you end up in a divorce less then 5 years or before your even 35 shame shame shame this world is coming to be the end of pittamy it wasnt like this 10 years ago people actually waited took there time.

  16. moshpitbitch says:

    Given the fact that Liv had absolutely no family stability in her life as her mother had nothing to do with her until she was recognised as Steven Tyler’s daughter, its a wonder she’s kept anything together; (mental and marital status included)

  17. BJ says:

    I CAN ONLY SAY THAT IF I WAS LIV’S HUSBAND SHE WOULDN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A THING.. I WOULD NOT WANT HER MONEY,, OLNY HER LOVE………

  18. Ozzy says:

    Liv Tyler is one of the most beautiful Women I have ever seen. I have been fascinated by her performances and I would love to see her in more movies.
    I feel sorry for the Women of Hollywood however, because they will never know what true love is. All they will ever know is Dollars and Lawyers… Its a shame that such a pretty lady has to hurt like that.

  19. Ozzy says:

    Liv,… Will you Marry me ?? hehehe. I aint rich.. but I know how to treat a Lady.

  20. Ozzy says:

    Last comment,..
    Liv Tyler is strikingly beautiful.

  21. The article as a good point – how does US weekly “source” know that she was speaking to a lawyer? She could have been speaking to anyone. (friend etc)

  22. jonathan says:

    Poor celebrities. Many started the marriage glamorously,just to end up with a divorce. The worst is that the public know it.

  23. Ross says:

    It’s a shame to read this article about the rumours now, only to read it was true a month later on another Celebitchy article. I hope Liv’s in a much better place now!

  24. Thanks again for helping with the relationship advice, it was truly a big help
