His wife, Chelsey Bridges, announced the shocking news on his social media pages … tearfully revealing he passed away in his sleep on their couch on Wednesday.
In Friday’s post, Chelsey did not reveal what caused his death, but it seemed sudden as she lamented about all the plans they had together.
The pair had been married for 16 years and shared 3 young kids, and Chelsey described him as a dedicated family man and wonderful husband. And she praised his sense of humor and the light he brought to the world, fulfilling his dream to make people laugh.
Steve has been sharing his skits — notably with his popular deadbeat boyfriend character — for several years, amassing 2.1 million TikTok followers.
He got his own IMDb page in 2024 and made his film debut in 2025 in “INfernal,” directed by Eric Mathis.
Eric remembered him as an “incredible talent” and stand-up guy in a tribute to him on social media, writing … “He was so kind, so genuine, so passionate about his art, and infectious in his many amazing traits.”
Steve was 41 years old.
RIP
1:05 PM PT — Sources close to the couple tell TMZ they have NOT broken up and are just fine.
It’s over between Steven Tyler and his longtime girlfriend Aimee Preston … TMZ has learned the couple has called it quits on their relationship.
Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Steven and Aimee have broken up … though it’s unclear when they separated and what led to the split.
Steven hired Aimee as his personal assistant way back in 2012 … they started dating in 2014 but waited until the 2016 Oscars to go public with their romance, holding hands at Elton John‘s AIDS Foundation Oscars viewing party.
The exes made things work for over a decade despite a 39-year age gap … and Aimee was often by Steven’s side at Hollywood events, premieres, and the like.
But, it would appear the sweet emotions between them have come to an end … and it sounds like they are no longer crazy about each other.

Not part of the Throb Mob yet? Buckle up, ’cause Boy Throb — the TikTok viral boyband — will soon have your hearts throbbing too … but they want to make one thing crystal clear, telling TMZ they’re not satire … even if the full group hasn’t hit the stage together just yet!
Three of the four Throbbers — Evan Papier, Anthony Key and Zachary Sobania — chatted with TMZ Thursday fresh out of a Chase Bank … where they were trying to score a loan to cover visa costs to get their fourth member, Darshan Magdum, from India to the U.S. Yeah — that’s one big indicator of just how serious they are.

Their infectious, high-energy hustle to get Darshan — currently holding it down on Zoom — over to the States has sent them rocketing to viral fame. And with Grammy dreams already locked in, the guys insist they’re built to last.
As for the haters? The guys had some words — telling them to peep the harmonies, the vocals and the dance moves, stressing they “ain’t playing” — even giving us an epic performance of their original, catchy track, “Finger.”
Hit play on the full clip — the guys spill more on swatting away haters while chasing boyband glory, break down how it all started, and sound off on their rival group, the Shadow Baddies.
They preach unity — but LBR, they’re not truly complete until Darshan’s visa clears and he touches down Stateside. So yeah, catch the clip for the latest update … ’cause it looks like the throbs are pounding louder and louder!
