Contemplating all of the controversial issues Child Rock has performed through the years, you’d assume most individuals would not go close to him with a 10-foot pole. And but, someway, the rapper’s relationship historical past is surprisingly packed. In truth, Child Rock has managed to romance a handful of high-profile ladies through the years — although, unsurprisingly, none of these relationships really lasted. What’s shocking, although, is as a lot of a strolling purple flag as Child Rock could also be, he clearly fancies himself a hopeless romantic. Regardless of a string of failed relationships — together with a short-lived marriage — the “Cowboy” hitmaker nonetheless claims to like love. 

“It was an excellent factor to be in love. I used to be an entire fool in love. I all the time say getting married was a ball. I had a blast getting married,” Child Rock advised the Related Press (by way of In the present day). “Beloved it a lot I bought married six or seven instances or no matter it was. Being married sucked. Possibly for some individuals it isn’t meant to be.” He even went on to assert that he isn’t afraid of falling in love once more and that he genuinely loved his time along with his exes, noting, ” I really like ladies, and I really like the ladies I’ve been with. I all the time attempt to be variety and cautious and deal with individuals good.”

“Treating individuals good” is unquestionably debatable, however you need to give him credit score — the right-wing rocker takes dangers in love, even when they do not pan out. And in case you take a tough take a look at his relationship historical past, it is extra tragic than something. From a child mama he clashed with to a wedding that imploded in document time, this is a take a look at Child Rock’s messy, dramatic, and ill-fated romantic previous.

One of the crucial tragic (or hilarious, relying on the way you take a look at it) issues about Child Rock’s relationship historical past is that the man simply can not seem to maintain a relationship getting into the long term. Positive, he had that chaotic on-again, off-again factor with Pamela Anderson and spent almost a decade with Audrey Berry (extra on each of these later), however most of his different flings barely lasted lengthy sufficient to warrant a point out. A number of the rapper’s rumored exes even denied they have been ever a factor — Paris Hilton included. Ouch!

There was additionally discuss that Child Rock and Sheryl Crow had a romantic spark, however that was rapidly debunked (their connection was strictly skilled). He did formally date Jaime King, however that fizzled out quick. Different rumored exes embody style mogul Tamara Mellon, singer Kellie Pickler, mannequin Alyssa Lipsky, and much extra. However wanting again, the larger sample right here is not simply short-lived relationships. It is the right-wing rocker’s, er, less-than-stellar angle towards ladies.

He isn’t precisely refined about it, both. Child Rock laid it out in a Rolling Stone interview: “As a result of I’ve met some actually nasty ladies on this lifetime, and people kinds of ladies I’ve no kind of respect for. And I’ve met the identical kind of lady a number of instances, and it could be my very own fault for leaping into that scenario, but it surely’s nonetheless a nasty f***ing kind of lady. It is a f***ing life-sucking b***h, and there is fairly a number of of them on the market.” Possibly the issue is not simply them!

Not everybody could concentrate on this, however the “All Summer season Lengthy” hitmaker is definitely a father — Child Rock’s solely little one, Robert “Robbie” James Ritchie Jr., is even named after him. The rapper shares Robbie with ex-girlfriend and highschool sweetheart Kelley South Russell, however their post-breakup dynamic was something however amicable. At one level, the truth is, Russell sued Child Rock for defamation, dragging Atlantic Data, Spin, and Rolling Stone into the mess, throughout lyrics from his track “Black Chick, White Man.”

Within the monitor, Child Rock does not maintain again, portray an image of a lady with “three totally different youngsters from three totally different males” whom he claims to have “kicked to the curb,” (by way of Genius). Russell, unsurprisingly, took enormous offense and sued, claiming the track included a number of inaccurate and damaging claims about her. She additionally accused the named magazines of spreading “dangerous, false, and deceptive info” about her, per UPI. Child Rock, nevertheless, wasn’t dropping any sleep over it. In his 2000 interview with Rolling Stone, he doubled down, insisting the lyrics have been “about ninety-nine %” true.

As for what occurred to the lawsuit? That is anybody’s guess. However their authorized battles did not cease there. The exes additionally fought over custody, with the rapper in the end successful major rights. Russell was later allowed extra time with their son — so long as she forked over $25 per week in little one assist. A far cry from Hollywood’s typical six-figure settlements, however hey, a deal’s a deal.

He is solely been married as soon as, and in true rock-and-roll style, it was to none aside from Pamela Anderson (who notably hasn’t spoken to Child Rock since 2007) — their on-again, off-again romance spanning years of breakups, makeups, and, in the end, one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it marriage. From 2001 to 2006, the unlikely celeb couple saved the romance going, full with an engagement, a number of splits, and a string of weddings that felt extra like a actuality present than a love story. First, they tied the knot on a yacht in St. Tropez. Then, they made it official with a courthouse ceremony in Beverly Hills. However why cease there? The 2 even turned an evening out at Nashville’s Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge into one more impromptu marriage ceremony, spontaneously exchanging their vows in entrance of the gathered patrons, who should have been delighted to witness it (or very confused). 

However their marriage lasted solely 4 months, and in response to Anderson, she knew nearly instantly it wasn’t proper. Not like her fiery relationship with Tommy Lee, this one simply did not have the identical spark. “Proper after I bought married,” the “Baywatch” star advised Howard Stern of the second she realized Child Rock wasn’t the one (by way of Billboard). “Properly, simply after. Clearly not in time. That is horrible, I do know it is embarrassing, it is only a flaw, I do not know. Like, I simply leap into one thing as a result of, you recognize, Tommy and I did and we had this, you recognize, unimaginable connection. However then you definately leap into one thing and it is like, ‘Oh it is not this unimaginable connection, it is this, simply […] one thing else.’ Then I slowly attempt to discover my manner out.” And he or she did. Simply three months after their third “marriage ceremony,” they filed for divorce.

Child Rock did not keep single for lengthy after finalizing his divorce from Pamela Anderson in 2007. This time round, although, he discovered love with Audrey Berry — somebody far faraway from the Hollywood scene. Not like the right-wing rocker’s extremely publicized previous relationships, his romance with Berry stayed principally underneath the radar. Even Child Rock’s engagement to his longtime girlfriend, in 2017, was saved hush-hush, with him ensuring to maintain their non-public life precisely that — non-public. Berry not often made public appearances, and the “American Unhealthy A**” hitmaker remained tight-lipped when requested about her, presumably to guard her privateness. 

“That is any person who shouldn’t be a star. It might actually be a troublesome factor to take care of,” he reasoned to Piers Morgan in a 2011 interview (by way of CNN). “I am pondering of any person else, making an attempt to not be so egocentric.” Nonetheless, Child Rock made it clear that he was comfortable, proudly telling Q Journal in 2015,  “Life is a lot less complicated being with one lady. Now [that] I am not chasing chicks round, I’ve bought a lot extra free time,” per Folks.

However after greater than a decade collectively, the comfortable couple’s engagement by no means made it to exchanging vows. By late 2024, issues had quietly fizzled out, and by February 2025, Us Weekly formally confirmed their break up. A supply even spilled that the rapper was “venturing into the relationship pool” once more. Guess that free time was about to be stuffed again up!

It seems just like the right-wing rocker did certainly put that newfound free time to make use of, as a result of not lengthy after splitting from Audrey Berry, Child Rock was reportedly cozying as much as none aside from Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert. In keeping with TMZ, the 2 hit it off in January 2025 whereas partying it up at a MAGA-fueled bash celebrating Donald Trump’s second presidency. The outlet claimed Boebert was “yapping away, doing a bit of dance, and clapping like she was entrance row at his live performance” — mainly performing like Child Rock’s number-one fangirl. A couple of weeks later, Web page Six noticed them leaving a celebration collectively and hopping right into a cab. Have been they simply mates? One thing extra? Boebert wasn’t about to spill the beans. When pressed for particulars, she dodged TMZ’s query with, “Y’all with all of your tales, Mother will not cease asking for live performance tickets, so, that is the issue I am dealing with now.”

As for whether or not they’re really relationship, that continues to be to be seen as of this writing. However what’s clear is that the web is having a area day with the rumors. As two outspoken MAGA diehards, the memes virtually write themselves. “Guys we will not let Child Rock and Lauren Boebert proceed relationship, that is the way you create tremendous gonorrhea,” one particular person on X, previously Twitter, quipped. “I really actually did not must know that Child Rock & Lauren Boebert are f***ing however perhaps between the 2 of them one will really yell out one intelligible phrase in mattress,” joked one other. Say what you need, however not less than the hypothesis is holding social media entertained.
