Lauren Boebert drops major clue about whether MAGA firebrand is dating Kid Rock
A social media post featuring Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and Kid Rock cozying up to each other has revived dating rumors about the MAGA-loving pair.
The rock star, 54, and the GOP representative, 38, first turned heads with their flirty exchange at party in January - which ended in them leaving in a cab together at 2:30am.
Months have since gone by with no signs of them being romantically involved, but relationship speculation has been reignited by a photo.
Conservative radio host and former National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch uploaded a group shot featuring her, her husband Chris, Kid Rock and Boebert at the singer's Rock 'n' Rodeo event in Texas on Saturday.
All four of them smiled with their arms around each other as they enjoyed what seemed like a double date.
Kid Rock and his rumored beau donned cowboy hats to match the theme of the sunglass-wearing rock star's 'half rock, half rodeo' festivities that are a part of the Professional Bull Riders' World Finals.
They also both wore lanyards for VIP guest badges to the event - which the Loesch couple did not have.
Adding to her patriotic look, Boebert sported a pair of American flag-themed cowboy boots from the brand Redneck Riviera.
Loesch captioned her Sunday X post 'last night at the @KidRockRNR,' also tagging Boebert and Chris.
Boebert reposted the photo, proudly writing 'Making America GREAT Again' with an American flag emoji.
Even though the the pair have been fiercely denying dating allegations all year, fans and followers are simply unconvinced.
'You and Kid? Kissing in a seat? Not mad atcha. Just curious,' one viewer commented under Boebert's post.
Another person reacted: 'Spectacular! Lauren and Kid should be dating!'
'You two make a great couple!! I'm not in your district anymore, but I still support you!!' someone said.
One blunt user brazenly asked: 'So….. Are you and Kid Rock bangin ?????'
Others questioned if the group was on a 'double date,' with one person issuing a piece of advice to the guns rights activist and politician: 'Boebert you can do better babe.'
It is unconfirmed if the pair is actually dating.
At the Washington DC party that started the relationship buzz, Boebert, who divorced her ex-husband in 2023, was seen dancing and chatting with Kid Rock
Kid Rock - who split up with his longtime fiancee shortly after - responded by jumping up and down gleefully, which seemingly earned him applause from Boebert.
The young grandmother was 'fangirling' over the musician, TMZ previously reported.
According to the outlet, 'Lauren was totally transfixed by the rock star, yapping away, doing a little dance, and clapping like she was front row at his concert.'
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, is friends with Trump and performed at his election victory rally.
He got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Audrey Berry in 2017 and was once married to Pamela Anderson.
Boebert is no stranger to the spotlight - previously making headlines for her whirlwind of a personal life.
In 2023, Boebert was thrown out of a Beetlejuice performance in Denver after audience members complained she was vaping near a pregnant woman and groping her date, Aspen bar owner Quinn Gallagher.
The same year, her rocky split from her now ex-husband Jayson was riddled with legal woes and conflict.
Jayson had claimed Boebert punched him when they met to try to get on better terms when he was arrested in 2024 for domestic violence. He later recanted that claim.
In a separate incident, Jayson was accused of assaulting their 18-year-old son Tyler and taking out a gun as the son moved to call the authorities in a fight over laundry.
Tyler, who became a father in April 2023 and made her a 37-year-old grandmother, is also awaiting trial after he was arrested on a string of shoplifting charges.
Boebert won re-election in November in a Colorado district where she moved midway through her term to avoid what would have been a tough reelection bid in her old district.
She had held the 3rd Congressional District seat in the Rocky Mountains since 2020.
Boebert left for the more conservative 4th Congressional District on the Great Plains after a near loss two before, after surveillance video emerged of her vaping and groping a date at the Denver theater.

Breakdown of U.S. tariffs on China since Trump's first term
BEIJING, June 12 (Reuters) - Billions of dollars of Chinese goods have been impacted by additional U.S. tariffs since 2018, initially under the first Donald Trump presidency and later under the Biden administration. Returning to the White House this year, Trump has imposed even more duties on China. The U.S. tariffs range from those imposed under Section 301 of its trade act due to what Washington claims are unfair Chinese trade practices, to duties under Section 232 levied for national security reasons. This year, Trump has imposed another 20% levies on all Chinese goods, saying Beijing has not done enough to stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States. So-called reciprocal tariffs, under which the U.S. will match duties imposed by other countries, have also been levied in a bid to rebalance trade flows. Below are the U.S. tariffs on China effective as of June 12, 2025: In September 2019, the U.S. imposed 15% tariffs on more than $120 billion of Chinese goods under Section 301, which it then halved to 7.5% less than six months later. The 25% U.S. tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods under the earlier List 1-3 remain unchanged. In September 2024, the U.S. Trade Representative under the Biden administration announced additional tariffs of 25-100% on 14 product groups following a four-year review of the Section 301 tariff actions. The levies were imposed on strategic Chinese sectors or sectors where the United States has made significant domestic investments. In addition to the above duties, the first Trump administration in 2018 imposed a range of tariffs under Section 232 aimed at restricting goods deemed a threat to national security, including all aluminium and steel imports, shutting most Chinese suppliers out of the U.S. market.

Trump wants to sell America to China – but will they buy?
On Wednesday, a jubilant Donald Trump declared that his trade deal with Beijing would 'open up China to American Trade', delivering 'a great WIN for both countries!!!' Yet even as the US president trumpets victory, a chorus of Western companies has been warning that the spoils may be underwhelming. Cosmetics company Estee Lauder is grappling with 'retail softness, reflecting subdued consumer sentiment' in China. Drinks giant Diageo, which makes Guinness and Johnnie Walker, said 'consumers remain cautious and the macroeconomic recovery is taking longer than expected'. Unilever, the consumer goods giant behind Dove soap and Ben & Jerry's ice cream, told its shareholders that 'market growth in China remained subdued'. Burberry reported waning sales there, while KFC and Pizza Hut-owner Yum China said sales in the first quarter were flat. When Starbucks this week slashed the price of its tea lattes and Frappuccinos in China by almost one fifth, it was only the latest sign that trouble was brewing in China for big Western businesses. Trump wants Chinese consumers to buy more American goods, rebalancing what he sees as the lopsided trading relationship between the two countries. But the middle kingdom's economy is in a prolonged funk, reeling from a property crisis and a long hangover from harsh Covid restrictions. With lingering US tariffs of up to 55pc taking a chunk out of China's exports, recovery in the world's second-largest economy depends on the willingness of Chinese consumers to open their wallets and start spending. But unless companies cut prices, or the government steps in to boost demand, cautious Chinese consumers are at best spending selectively. Unlike China's gleaming motorways, the road to an economic rebound looks slow and uncertain – meaning Trump may well be disappointed. Ending the US president's anti-China crusade depends on the Chinese consumer taking out their wallets. It's the 'excess savings' of China's households, coupled with the excess spending of the American government and consumers, that lie at the heart of the pair's unbalanced economic relationship. In layman's terms, Chinese families save, while Americans buy – meaning China exports to the US far more than it imports. 'China has a singular opportunity to stabilise its economy by shifting away from excess production towards greater consumption,' Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, said on Wednesday. So far, there is little sign of the balance shifting. In a recent survey by McKinsey, Chinese households said they were not planning to increase how much they spend as a share of their income. (McKinsey saw this as progress; in the 2024 version of the survey, households had actually been planning to reduce consumption.) The survey found that rural dwellers were slightly more enthusiastic about shopping than their urban counterparts. That's unsurprising: it's in the cities where the scars of the property crisis, which began with the collapse of the developer Evergrande in 2021, are most acute. 'Property prices have fallen by around 20pc since the onset of the property crisis,' says Leah Fahy, a China analyst at Capital Economics. 'That has been a massive hit to household wealth and really dampened propensity to spend, and confidence as well.' 'And then more recently, you add all this tension around the trade war, what's going to happen with US tariffs. Even if the actual hit from that hasn't been massive yet.' Justin Koh, a Shanghai-based director at consultancy AlixPartners, says: 'When I first came to China about 15 years ago, there used to be an idea that everything would only go in one direction – up. People just thought sales would double every year. 'Now, the consumer companies we're working with are more pragmatic about growth. They're also very pragmatic about opening and closing stores, about what works and what doesn't work in the market.' Officially, China's economy is holding up, growing at 5.4pc in the first quarter from a year earlier. But the threat of a trade war looms over a country that still relies heavily on manufacturing. Exports to the US slumped by almost 35pc in April from a year earlier and China is struggling with deflation. Consumer prices dipped 0.1pc, the fourth consecutive month of decline, led by food and fuel. A survey by the EU Chamber of Commerce in China found that 83pc of food and beverage companies felt their business environment in the country was deteriorating. Many consumers seem to be looking for bargains, waiting for price decreases, or keeping their yuan in the bank or under the bed. Beijing has been encouraging people to spend, pushing them to buy more white goods by backing a trade-in scheme. It seems to have worked: according to the Xinhua news agency, it spurred 175bn renminbi (£18bn) of transactions this year, and 39pc year–on-year sales growth in April. But that would only be a drop in the ocean of what is required. It might stack a percentage point or two on to GDP growth, but Capital Economics reckons consumption might need to expand by 4pc to offset the hit from falling exports. Fahy says the government seems reluctant to wheel out the fiscal artillery needed to deliver this. 'You get a lot of lip service to the importance of supporting consumption, supporting demand, but they're really hesitant to expand things like social security measures, pension payments, welfare benefits – the things that are most needed to boost households' willingness to spend really and lower the savings rate,' she says. Worryingly for Trump, even if there is an upturn in consumer spending, Chinese may not choose to buy American products. 'There was probably more bargain hunting back in 2022, 2023 – confidence was lower, there was a very clear dip,' says Koh. 'I think this bargain-hunting helped consumers understand other [non-Western] brands a little bit better – they realised that, 'Hey, there might not be that much of a difference there.'' Chinese business news site Caixin says there has been an increase in promotions for 'repatriated foreign trade products' – items originally made to sell overseas that are now being sold at home. This includes marketing campaigns and exhibitions at supermarkets, department stores and shopping malls. Local brands are also gaining ground. Koh's 10-year-old daughter is wild for the Labubu dolls made by Chinese start-up Pop Mart, for example. 'They're the latest craze. If consumer confidence was at an all-time low, we'd likely be seeing less people buying them – less of that type of consumer behaviour,' he says. 'It's a sign of a more discerning consumer, and a consumer that's expressing his or her consumer confidence in different ways.' The ball is now in Beijing's court: the government needs to do more if it wants a consumer-led kickstart for the economy, and a fix for the US-China trade imbalances. Without action, Trump's 'great WIN' may turn into a disappointing loss.
