Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler might be set for a split from his second wife, fashion designer Teresa Barrick, reported the New York Post.

According to the daily, the couple, which has been together for 16 years, are reportedly handling the separation in the same style they wed - quietly. They were married in a tiny ceremony in Barrick's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Tyler has reportedly been telling friends this week that he and Barrick were considering breaking up.

"He is difficult, there isn't just one thing that led to this. It's been coming for a while," the source said.

Tyler and Barrick lived in Boston and had two children, Chelsea, 16, and Taj, 13. Barrick was responsible for much of the "Pink" singer's distinctive rocker wardrobe.
