The Leftovers actress welcomed her first child, son Milo, with then-husband Roy Langdon in 2004. The pair split four years later. In 2014, Tyler began dating sports agent David Gardner and the former couple have since welcomed two children together: son Sailor in 2015 and daughter Lula the following year. While Tyler and the sports agent got engaged in 2015, they split in 2021.
In addition to growing up with a famous mom, Tyler’s two younger children also havequite a well-known godfather: soccer legendDavid Beckham, who is friends with Gardner.
For the actress, motherhood has played a key role in helping her to better understand herself and what she’s capable of. “My favorite thing about being a parent is that I learn so much from the push-and-pull dynamic of mother and child,” she toldMoremagazine in 2015. “Having children, I learned about my own strength.”
Tyler also toldElle Mexicoin 2007that motherhood was “the best thing I’ve ever done in my life."

Tyler and her then-husband Langdon welcomed Milo on Dec. 14, 2004, in New York City.
The new mom toldElle Mexicoa few years later that Milo was given his moniker because it just suited him. “We thought a lot [about] the name, but when he was born, we decided he looked like a Milo — that’s the reason,” she told the outlet.
Speaking toCrashabout the beauty of motherhood, Tyler said that watching Milo “grow up and learn is quite simply the most beautiful and incredible miracle that I’ve ever known.”
At the time, he was 4 years old and loved “castles, dragons [and] knights.” Capitalizing on his interest, she introduced him to her career-launching role as Arwen inThe Lord of the Ringstrilogy. “So mommy was a real princess,” she recalled him saying, adding that he only watched the beginning.
While Tyler stepped out of the spotlight for the first two years of his life in order to focus on motherhood, she later returned to acting. “I didn’t find it that complicated because I love acting, I love my job and I have had the advantage that I could take Milo with me,” Tyler told the outlet.
As he grew up,TheLedgeactress struggled with balancing her work and her home life. “I didn’t see how I could go away for three months to make a film and be the mother I wanted to be,” Tyler toldMoremagazine when Milo was 10. But the pre-teen insisted, she revealed. “Mommy, I want you to go forth and make some movies,” she recalled him saying.
