A couple weeks ago we covered Page Six’s reporting on Kid Rock and Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert hopping in a cab together in the wee hours of the morning after Inauguration Day. The heavy-handed insinuation was that the two had hooked up, birds of a sleazy-feather and all. I was truly touched in the comments by all of you who expressed deep distress/concern… for the taxi cab and its driver. Page Six, for their part, gave a shout-out in their article to Audrey Berry, the woman Kid Rock has been with since 2011 and engaged to since 2017. Now Us Weekly has breaking news: Berry and Rock are no longer together! According to “sources,” the two split at the end of last year, thus suggesting that Rock wasn’t cheating when he (possibly) hooked up with Boebert, or earlier that day when he hit on a BBC News reporter on live TV. So not unfaithful, but still completely scuzzy. Here’s more from Us Weekly’s exclusive:
Kid Rock and fiancée Audrey Berry have broken up after their seven-year engagement, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
A source exclusively tells Us that Kid Rock, 54, has separated from Berry and has moved on, with a second insider noting the pair called it quits late last year.
“He is venturing into the dating pool,” per the source.
Neither the singer nor Berry has addressed the breakup. Us has reached out for comment.
Earlier this month, the “Born Free” crooner was spotted getting into a cab with Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert, according to Page Six. The duo reportedly left a party together in Washington, D.C. at 2:30 a.m. TMZ, meanwhile, reported that the pair were spotted chatting at an inaugural event for President Donald Trump.
Kid Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) had reportedly proposed to Berry seven years earlier in April 2017, according to the Detroit Free Press. They were first linked in 2011 and long kept their relationship private.
“This is somebody who is not a celebrity. It can really be a tough thing to deal with,” he said during a 2011 interview with Piers Morgan. “I’m thinking of somebody else, trying not to be so selfish.”
Kid Rock initially crossed paths with Berry in his native Detroit shortly after his divorce from ex-wife Pamela Anderson. (Rock and Anderson, now 57, were married from 2006 to 2007.)
The singer, who also is the father to 31-year-old son Robert James Ritchie Jr. from a past relationship, offered rare insight into his romance with Berry in a 2021 profile with Hook & Barrel magazine.
“Every day I pinch myself. I give many, many thanks. I do give a lot of attribution to the hard work that I’ve put in, but at the end of the day, I’ve been a very lucky person,” he told Hook & Barrel. “My fiancée, Audrey, says I have a golden horseshoe up my a–. I don’t take anything for granted, and I think that’s because it took me so long in the trenches to make it, and I worked so hard, but there’s no question I give thanks every day to the position I’m in.”
I never thought I’d utter these words, but I’m actually inclined to agree with a statement by Kid Rock: I totally believe there is something stuck up his ass. But enough about him! Instead I’d like to congratulate Audrey Berry on getting out of that situation. I don’t know if it was that she just couldn’t forgive and/or forget that 10-year affair he had with Julie Andrews’ granddaughter (yes, you read all those words correctly) that overlapped with Kid & Audrey’s courtship, or Kid’s well-documented history of sexist remarks, or his unhealthy anti-vaxx stance, or if Audrey just wanted a frickin’ Bud Light in peace. Any and all reasons are acceptable in this case! With the timing of this news, though, I am wondering — are we about to get a hard launch for a Lauren Boebert–Kid Rock relationship? Is Brockbert upon us?!! Mega barf. But if it does become official, SNL should definitely have the taxi cab on as a character who drops by Weekend Update.
PS — regarding Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson’s previous relationship… with all the lovely things we know about her today, just, how??

Live free Audrey. Between Loathsome Lauren and that swampdumpster d*ck of his God only knows what variant of herpes was created. Gross.
Whenever I see a picture of him, I feel the need to schedule a doctor’s appointment
Breathe free, Audrey!
If you’re engaged for a long time then maybe you should get the hint. Also looking at you Sanchez.
He’s been seen getting REAL cozy with Lauren Boebert lately. Wouldn’t be surprised if those two pigs made their public debut soon.
That’s in the first sentence of this article
None of the words in the sentence about the ten year affair made any sense and I refuse to look it up.
How old is this former fiancé? Everyone else’s age is listed. 14 years with this delightful trash bucket. Yuck.
He’s gross. I don’t know anything about her but hopefully she is happily done with him.
The fact that she was with him for so long makes me think of Kim K though. A lot of people believed she was at least co-signing Kanye’s racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic behavior by staying with him. I wasn’t so convinced. I imagine it’s hard to leave someone you have been with for so long, maybe in the memory of who they were and the hope that they will go back to that. However a lot of white women are Trumpers so I hope she deserves the good wishes we are throwing her way.
Pamela Anderson didn’t need to be wearing a Native headdress as a Halloween costume in 2019!
Thank you for the 🔥 tea about Julie Andrew granddaughter…she…she IS SOMETHING 😮
Boebert doesn’t appreciate how MAGAs like MTG are out-crazy-ing her so this Kid Rock relationship, if it happens, is right on time!
This ugly-ass loser in life wannabe tough guy … don’t wander into the dating pool.. wander into a shower and lather up the greasy hair … friggin’ vey!
When the engagement of people with enough money to throw a proper wedding goes on longer than a year, maybe two – they’re not getting married. Or if they do, they’re getting divorced.
The Kid Rock section of Pamela’s documentary was kind of funny. She steadfastly referred to him as “Bob” and nothing else. Her sons said to each other, “Can you believe we used to live in Detroit?!” Pamela did say that “Bob” treated her sons well, so that’s something.
So how soon are the kid and bobert going to be stepping out in public?
I’m rooting hard for Pamela Anderson in her current era but she’s always had a bad picker when it comes to men. Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Julian Assange, that abusive French soccer player, and her last husband who was her married bodyguard when they first got together.
please, no need to insult pigs.
