[quote] Kid Rock and Longtime Partner Audrey Berry Split 7 Years After Engagement: Sources
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.”
At the time, Kid Rock also noted that he and Berry enjoyed going hunting together.
“I’ve really gone to a lot of bird hunting, a lot of ducks and a lot of doves, but my favorite time of the year is the fall when I can go up to Montana and run the mountains for elk. There’s something so rewarding about it,” Kid Rock said. “She took right to [deer hunting], but I’m too impatient. I get anxious, and if I see a monster 10-pointer, and he’s 180 yards away, and I’ve got a compound bow, I’m just pissed off.”
He added, “People say they do it for the adrenaline rush or whatever, but I get that every time I step onto the stage. When I’m hunting, I want to get something.”
