Lauren Boebert Shares 4 Sons With Ex-Husband Jayson
Tyler Boebert was previously arrested in 2024.
Tyler is the oldest child of Lauren, who also shares sons, Brody, 19, Kaydon, 17, and Roman, 13, with ex-husband Jayson Boebert.
The Colorado congresswoman became a grandmother in April 2023 when a then-17-year-old Tyler welcomed a son named Josiah with his partner.
Lauren announced the happy news in March 2023 during the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland where she received the “Mothers of Influence” award.
Lauren Boebert Became a Grandmother in 2023
Lauren Boebert is a mother to four sons.
“I’m going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting that, not only am I a mother of four boys, but, come April, I will be a Gigi to a brand new grandson,” she said.
Lauren pointed out that she made her own mother a grandmother at the age of 36 and suggested the idea was “hereditary.”
In September 2020, the politician looked back on giving birth to Tyler when she was 18 and was still in high school. “I was a brand-new mom, and I had to make hard decisions on successfully raising my child, or getting to high school biology class. And I chose to take care of my child,” she told The Durango Herald.
“I was starting my family and had different priorities,” Lauren added.
