Kid Rock, officially known as Robert James Ritchie, is currently navigating life as a single man following the conclusion of a significant relationship. He is a father to one son, Robert James Ritchie Jr., who he shares with a former romantic partner.

While Kid Rock often garners attention for his musical career and outspoken political stances, his personal life, especially his family, remains a more private chapter of his narrative.

Kid Rock’s Wife and Marital Status

At present, Kid Rock is unmarried. His previous marriage to actress Pamela Anderson in 2006 was notably short-lived, ending in a well-publicized divorce by 2007. More recently, he was in a committed relationship with Audrey Berry, with whom he became engaged in 2017 after several years of dating. However, as of early 2025, it has been reported that Kid Rock and Berry have decided to part ways, ending their engagement after seven years.

An insider close to Kid Rock revealed that the separation occurred towards the end of last year, and that he is now exploring the dating scene once more. Throughout their relationship, he maintained a level of privacy concerning Berry, emphasizing the importance of keeping her, a person outside the celebrity sphere, away from the public eye.

Meet Kid Rock’s Son: Robert James Ritchie Jr.

The musician has a single biological child, a son named Robert James Ritchie Jr., affectionately known as Bobby Jr. Born on June 14, 1993, Bobby Jr.’s mother is Kelley South Russell, who was once romantically involved with Kid Rock. The artist took on the primary role of raising his son from the age of seven, following a paternity test that confirmed his fatherhood.

Despite his rebellious public persona, Kid Rock has always been a dedicated father, and the two share a close bond. He often expresses immense pride in his son, sharing a heartfelt birthday message from Bobby Jr. that he said “brought a tear to my eye”.

What Does Kid Rock’s Son Do for a Living?

Following in his father’s creative footsteps, Bobby Jr. has built a multifaceted career. He is an aspiring singer and musician who released his debut single in 2018 and has even collaborated with his dad on the 2022 track “Bad Reputation”.

He is also a fashion designer and entrepreneur, owning his own clothing brand called Skullfeather. Additionally, he works as a social media manager and brand ambassador for the seltzer company Happy Dad. He graduated from Belmont University with a degree in Music Business.

Kid Rock’s Grandchildren and Family Life

Kid Rock is a proud grandfather. His son, Bobby Jr., is married to his high school sweetheart, Marisa Trovato. The couple has two children: a daughter named Skye, born in 2014, and a son named Rider, born in 2022.

This means the “American Bad Ass” rocker has embraced the role of grandpa. While he keeps this part of his life relatively private, the family appears to be close-knit. Kid Rock has shared rare snaps with his grown-up son, and Bobby Jr.’s social media occasionally features photos of his own children.
