Kid Rock and his longtime fiancée, Audrey Berry, have officially called it quits.
According to Us Weekly, the 54-year-old musician and Berry ended their engagement some time in 2024 after being together for more than a decade.
While neither Kid Rock nor Berry has publicly addressed the breakup, sources close to the couple claim that he is already venturing back into the dating world.
The news comes as a surprise to many fans, as their relationship seemed steady and private for years.
Let’s take a look back at their relationship, the breakup, and what might be next for Kid Rock.
Unlike Kid Rock’s highly publicized past relationships—most notably his whirlwind romance and brief marriage to Pamela Anderson—his relationship with Audrey Berry was much more low-profile.
The two were first linked in 2011, shortly after his divorce from Anderson and a series of short-lived romances.
Berry was not a celebrity, which may have been part of what made their relationship work for so long.
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, had spoken in the past about the challenges of dating as a famous musician.
In a 2011 interview with Piers Morgan, he acknowledged the difficulties of being in a relationship with someone outside of the spotlight.
“This is somebody who is not a celebrity. It can really be a tough thing to deal with,” he said. “I’m thinking of somebody else, trying not to be so selfish.”
Despite the challenges of dating a high-profile figure, Berry and Kid Rock maintained a strong connection, with the singer even proposing to her in 2017.
At the time, fans speculated that wedding bells were on the horizon, but the couple never officially tied the knot.

For years, Kid Rock and Berry kept their relationship out of the public eye, appearing together only occasionally.
While there were no obvious signs of trouble, their decision to stay engaged for so long without getting married did raise some questions among fans.
In a 2021 interview with Hook & Barrel, Kid Rock spoke fondly of Berry, acknowledging how lucky he felt to have her in his life.
“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 even joked about how Berry viewed his success, adding:
“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.”
His words made it seem like their relationship was still going strong, but something must have changed in the years that followed.
According to Us Weekly, Kid Rock and Berry officially split sometime in 2024, though no exact timeline has been confirmed.
Neither party has made a public statement about the breakup, leaving fans to wonder what led to their separation.
A source reportedly told Us Weekly that Kid Rock is “venturing into the dating pool” again, signaling that he has moved on from the split.
While details about his current dating life are scarce, it’s safe to say that the outspoken musician won’t be single for long.
Without an official statement from Kid Rock or Berry, the reason behind their split remains unknown.
However, long-term relationships sometimes naturally run their course.
There are a few possible explanations for their breakup:
Regardless of the reason, both Kid Rock and Berry have been tight-lipped about their breakup, which suggests they want to keep things as private as possible.

If history tells us anything, it’s that Kid Rock doesn’t stay single for long.
Over the years, he’s been linked to several high-profile women, including Pamela Anderson, model Jaime Pressly, and even country singer Kellie Pickler (though those rumors were never confirmed).
Now that he’s back on the dating scene, it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s already being pursued by new love interests.
On the professional front, Kid Rock continues to stay busy with music, touring, and his business ventures, including his Nashville bar, Kid Rock’s Big Honky Tonk & Steakhouse.
Fans may even see this breakup inspire some new music—after all, heartbreak has fueled some of the greatest rock and country songs of all time.
