Where Is Kid Rock’s Baby Mama Kelley South Now?

Kid Rock is one of the most successful and famous rappers and musicians of his time. Furthermore, he is the doting dad of one, whom he shares with his ex-partner, Kelley South Russell.

Unfortunately, very little is known about Kelley. Thus, in this article, let’s learn in detail about Kid Rock’s baby mama, Kelley South, and her whereabouts.

Who is Kid Rock?

• The artist who began his musical career in the 1980s as a rapper and DJ has come a long way in his career and has gained significant fame.
• He has released several albums and singles, which have become enormous hits, thus helping him earn immense fame and fortune for his name.
• Kid revealed recently that he punched someone while visiting BohemianGrove, an exclusive men’s club located in Monte Rio, California. The club is famous for hosting high-profile celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, Mark Twain, Ronald Reagan, etc.

Met Kid Rock In Eighth Grade

As mentioned earlier, Kid Rock shares a child with his ex-partner, Kelley South. The pair met when they were in eighth grade in 1985 and began dating.

The couple had an on-and-off relationship that went on for ten years. But the duo never proceeded their relationship to the next level.

Instead, in June 1993, Kelley gave birth to their first child, Robert James Ritchie Jr. The pair raised a total of three kids, and among them, Kid Rock had thought two of Kelley’s kids were also his.

Kelley South and Kid Rock’s son, Robert, is an aspiring singer and also works in many jobs. Similarly, he also shares a daughter, Skye Noelle Ritchie, and a son, Ryder James Ritchie, with his wife, Marisa Trovato.

On the other hand, the identities of Kelley South’s two other kids have not been revealed yet. Nevertheless, Kid Rock’s former partner must have raised her children with immense love and care.

Had A Vicious Custody Battle Over Their Kid

After being together for ten years, Kelley South Russell and Kid Rock separated after he found out that Robert James Ritchie Jr. was his only biological child.

Similarly, a 1994 paternity suit proved that Kelley South’s ex-partner, Kid Rock, was Robert Jr.’s dad.

In 1995, the same year they separated, Kelley’s ex-boyfriend was granted full custody of their son.

But, four years later, in December 1999, the custody battle over their son began after the musician attempted to secure adjustments in the quantity of time Kelley got to spend with their kid.

Kid Rock’s ex-girlfriend alleged that he did not let her spend summer vacation time with Robert Jr.

The battle continued for the next ten months, and in October 2000, the judge finally made the decision. According to the decision made by the court, Kid Rock allowed Kelley to spend more time with their son.

However, Kid Rock’s former girlfriend had to pay him $25 weekly in exchange for that. Similarly, she also provided for their son’s health insurance through her company.

Although Kelley did not get to spend much time with her son, she must have made great memories with him whenever they met.

Sued Her Ex-Boyfriend

In July 2000, Kid Rock’s baby mama, Kelley, sued him over his song. According to her, he referenced their relationship in the 2000 song “Black Chick, White Guy” from his album, “Devil Without a Cause.”

Kid Rock’s then-girlfriend claimed that he lied about her and damaged her reputation. Similarly, according to the suit, he invaded her privacy and intentionally inflicted emotional distress.

As per the song, Kid Rock came from the middle class, while Kelley came from a “broken home.” It also said that she was expecting a baby when they were in the 9th grade, and she had an abortion.

Later, when Kelley was dating a black drug dealer, who physically abused her, she became pregnant with a baby girl. Similarly, the song also says that Kelley South’s ex-boyfriend raised the kid until he realized the truth.

Kelley stated that the contents of his song were not true and filed suit against him. She also noted that the song contains other untrue, graphic, inflammatory, and hurtful remarks.

Not only that, but Kelley also sued Atlantic Records, Rolling Stone, and Spin magazines. According to the lawsuit, the latter published stories that contained false, harmful, and misleading information about her.

On the other hand, the defendants stated they told the truth and did not name Russell. Despite the suit, Rock informed that he and his baby mama were on good terms.

As the ex-girlfriend of Kid Rock, Kelley has gained significant fame. But she seems to be a woman of secrecy. She has not revealed much about her and has remained away from media scrutiny.

At the time of the custody battle, Kelley used to work as an autoworker for Ford Motor Co. But, it is not known what she does now and where she is.

Kelly must be living a content life. Nevertheless, we hope to learn more about Kid Rock’s baby mama in the coming days.
