She lived with Todd until 1977, the same year she gave birth to Liv. She later went on to date Rod Stewart, Stiv Bators (the Dead Boys, who wrote the song later covered by Gn'R, "Ain't It Fun"), and Elvis Costello. I have yet to read Rebel Heart, so I am uncertain as to the exact 'arrangement' she and Todd had concerning fidelity, but Bebe became a famous rock star girlfriend in the mid-70's, and her list of lovers is certainly impressive: Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Jimmy Page and (of course) Steven Tyler with whom she has daughter Liv. She was one of the first fashion models to be featured in Playboy, and while the modeling world may have temporarily snubbed her overt display of sexiness, rock royalty did not. In 1974, Bebe was the famous Miss November centerfold in Playboy magazine, which cost her her contract with Ford.

They promptly embarked on a relationship and moved in together in the city. She was living in a women's home run by nuns at age 18 when she first met rocker Todd Rundgren, former Nazz founder and solo artist (although he released albums under the group name Runt, it was pretty solely his vision and credit). One year later, in 1972, she officially moved to New York City to pursue her career as fashion model. A native of Portsmouth, Virginia (a town in the southern part of the state located close to Norfolk), Bebe was accepted as a Ford model only three days after her mother submitted her photos to the New York-based agency. '70s Rock Queen Bebe Buell was born Beverle Lorence Buell on July 14, 1953.
