Okay, I’ll be honest — I didn’t know who Taylor Neisen was until I saw a random photo of her walking dogs in New York with Liev Schreiber. That was it. No red carpet. No tabloid drama. Just her, some dogs, and Liev; I will probably grab a coffee or something. And I thought, Wait… who is this woman? Because something about her just felt different.
So I did what any curious person does: I Googled her. The more I read, the more I liked her vibe.
She’s From South Dakota (Which Already Says a Lot)
Taylor grew up in South Dakota, a place not known for launching people into the limelight. It’s the kind of place where people wave when they pass you on the road. There’s something grounded about growing up somewhere like that, and I think it shows in how she carries herself.
In 2012, she won Miss South Dakota USA, which led to her competing in Miss USA, which is probably the flashiest thing she’s done publicly. And yet, even then, she didn’t strike me as someone chasing fame. She seemed more like someone who tried a thing, did well, and then kept it moving.
The Modeling Thing — Yeah, She Does That Too
After the pageant days, she went into modeling. But here’s the thing: she’s not your typical influencer-model hybrid. She doesn’t seem obsessed with pushing herself online, and honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air.
There are no weird pyramid scheme detox teas, and there is no “Use my code for 10% off this face mask.” She models, sure, but it doesn’t feel like her whole identity is wrapped up in being seen, which is rare.
Her Relationship with Liev Schreiber Seems… Normal?
So yeah, she’s been dating Liev Schreiber for a while now — you probably know him from Ray Donovan, X-Men Origins, or a million other roles. And if you’re wondering about the age difference, it’s there. But I mean… people are people.
What I find great is how low-key they are together. They’ve been spotted doing regular stuff—walking the dogs, grocery shopping, and beach walks. There is no “look at me!” energy—just real-life couple stuff.
Also, from what I’ve seen, she has an excellent relationship with his kids, which matters. That’s not always easy to pull off in blended families.
She’s Big Into Wildlife Rescue — And That’s Not Just for Show
Here’s what sealed it for me: she’s volunteering with wildlife rescues. I’ve seen photos of her with sea turtles, raccoons, and possums. And no, it didn’t look like one of those fake “look how helpful I am” PR shoots. You can tell when someone cares.
And I don’t know about you, but when someone’s idea of a good time is bottle-feeding rescued animals or cleaning up after them instead of schmoozing at events, that’s the kind of person I want to root for.
She’s Got “Dog Mom” Energy in the Best Way
If you’ve ever walked more than one dog at a time, you know it’s chaos. Add in New York City sidewalks, and it’s a full-time job. But Taylor and Liev are always spotted with their pups as if it’s no big deal.
And look — anyone who scoops poop in public while still looking composed earns automatic respect from me. It’s just so unfiltered and… honest.
So What’s the Deal — Why Should We Care?
That’s the thing: maybe we don’t need to care, and that’s the beauty of it. Taylor Neisen isn’t shoving herself into the spotlight, yet here we are, talking about her. That says something.
Maybe it’s because it’s refreshing to see someone live in a sea of influencers and reality stars constantly trying to get attention. Rescue animals, hang out with her partner, and avoid unnecessary drama — it’s not flashy but real. And honestly, that stands out more than any headline.
Final Thoughts
Taylor Neisen isn’t a headline-grabber. She’s not a walking brand. She’s just a woman who loves animals, enjoys a peaceful life, and is dating someone famous.
And maybe that’s why I liked her so much. There’s no spectacle. No scandal. Just someone quietly living a good life — and not making a big deal out of it.
More power to her.
A Few Questions People Seem to Ask (Because I Did Too)

She’s a model but also volunteers extensively with animal rescue and wildlife rehab efforts. So, her work is a mix of fashion and fur babies.

South Dakota! Which tracks once you know that? She’s got that quiet, grounded energy you don’t always see in the celeb-adjacent crowd.
