According to the
New York Post,
AEROSMITH lead singer
Steven Tyler has dismissed as "absolutely false" reports that he has split with his fiancée,
Erin Brady.
A representative for
AEROSMITH did not deny there was trouble in the relationship, but told the paper, "Just as any couple goes through trials and tribulations in a relationship,
Steven and
Erin are asking for their privacy at this time. They are engaged to be married and each is committed to their sobriety. Any claim to the contrary is absolutely false and misleading."
Previously an accountant for
Tyler on tour,
Brady told
Oprah Winfrey in a 2011 interview that although she bore witness to the worst of
Steven's bad-boy behavior, she knew his ways could be reformed and she wanted to be the one to do it.
"I saw him, how he behaved… badly," she said, according to
ETOnline.com, telling
Oprah she had to step up to the plate as the womanizing continued when their relationship became romantic. Her strategy was to "play" as he would when
Tyler would stray, which he admits was a wake-up call and an instigator towards treating the women of his life with the respect they deserve.
"There was some behavior I am ashamed of and I shouldn't have done,"
Steven explained. When asked bluntly if he believed he could remain monogamous with
Erin,
Tyler confidently replied that he could. "I don't want to hurt anybody again," he said. "For all the divorces I've had I've hurt those girls deeply."
Steven and
Erin have been dating for six years, since
Tyler divorced
Teresa Barrick. He was also married to
Cyrinda Foxe from 1978 to 1987.
