GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert chose to deflect when a TMZ reporter asked her directly if she and musician Kid Rock are dating.
Rumors about a possible romance between the Colorado congresswoman and the rapper-singer first began to stir right after President Donald Trump’s inauguration party.
Boebert, 38, and the rockstar, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, 54, seemed to hit it off at the event and were later reported slinking away into the wee hours of the night.

The pair were spotted getting into a cab at 2:30 a.m. after the party celebrating Trump’s second term win began to wind down. It is still unclear if Rock was simply being a gentleman and dropping the controversial Republican off at her home or if they both rode the cab to the same destination.
Boebert still seems to be playing it coy about their relationship. Despite the fact that she was pictured dancing with the musician, she pointed out that she had many “good friends” at the Turning Point Gala on February 11, the event she left with Kid Rock.
When asked about the hook up rumors on Monday, she declined to comment and instead said: “Y’all with all your stories, Mom won’t stop asking for concert tickets, so, that’s the problem I’m facing now.”
Boebert also chose not to divulge any information when asked if she and Kid Rock are single. The gun rights activist laughed and said, “You have a great night.”
Even though the pair hasn’t made things official publicly, or follow each other on Instagram, they are otherwise unattached with Kid Rock splitting from his fiancée of seven years Audrey Berry just last week.
They have, however, exhibited their online chemistry in other ways, such as teaming up against Gov. Tim Walz on X. Kid Rock called the Minnesota governor a “moron” after Walz slammed Elon Musk by writing, “The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school.”
“Aren’t you the moron that put tampons in boys' bathrooms?” Rock responded, referring to the inclusive legislation Walz passed to put products in all public school bathroom for “all menstruating students.”
Boebert piled on, agreeing with Rock: “He certainly has made himself as irrelevant [as] a tampon for men.”
