In March 2016, Page Six reported that Tyler and Preston are now living together in Los Angeles. They also lived together in Nashville while Tyler was recording his solo country album.
Despite their relationship, a source told Page Six that they still try to look professional. The source told the site:
People are always wondering [about them] and now it’s kind of finally out in the open. I think at some point, because she is always with him and does live with him, it’s like, ‘OK, it’s more than just a personal assistant.’ They’re out together all of the time. She doesn’t leave his side.

Tyler has a history of dating younger women, going all the way back to the early days of Aerosmith. When he was 27, he met Julia Holcomb, who was only 16.

Tyler has been married and divorced twice. He was first married to Cyrinda Foxe from 1978-1987. He was married to Teresa Barrick from 1988 to 2006. He was engaged to Erin Brady from 2011 to 2013. Brady was 38 when they split.
Between Brady and Preston, Tyler was photographed kissing The Hunger Games and All My Children actress Leven Rambin, 26, at the Elton John Oscar party in 2013. She’s now married to actor Jim Parrack.
