Liv Tyler: Ive had a rough couple of years

Lord Of The Rings star Liv Tyler has revealed that she had a "rough couple of years" following her split from her rock star husband.

The former model and daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler opened up to US magazine Bust about her divorce from British musician Royston Langdon.

The couple were married for five years and have a six-year-old son, Milo.

The 33-year-old actress, who is currently promoting two new movies – Super and The Ledge – says: "I took a little time off before Super and The Ledge.

"I just had a rough couple of years, having Milo and then getting divorced and trying to rebuild my life again.

"I found it tricky to figure out how to work, and be a mother, and be a single mum.”

She adds: "Milo and I have been in such transition – I've been rebuilding and trying to be patient. And I've just put all of my focus on that. Because I can't go to work and be happy unless he's happy and feels secure."

Tyler, who recently moved back to New York after living in Los Angeles for a few years, appears to be alluding to her marriage break-up when she says: "But, it's been interesting, the way things have unfolded. I'm accepting what happens in life, and how it affects you, and how things don't always go as you expected them to.

"That loss of the dream – because you spend your whole childhood planning how you're going to do things – it's actually very painful, but quite liberating at the same time, when you have to let go of that ideal and see yourself in an imperfect light."
