Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, primarily raised his son, Robert James Ritchie Jr.
Robert Ritchie Jr. was primarily raised by his father, Robert Ritchie, widely known as Kid Rock. While his mother, Kelley South Russell, was also involved in his life, Kid Rock maintained primary custody for a significant period during his son's upbringing.
In fact, after a 10-month custody battle, when their son was 7 years old, Kid Rock made the decision to allow his ex-girlfriend, Kelley South Russell, to spend additional time with Robert Ritchie Jr. This arrangement, agreed upon in October, even saw Kid Rock charging her $25 per week for the privilege. This detail indicates his role as the primary custodial parent and the main decision-maker regarding their son's living arrangements and visitation rights at that time.
Key Figures Involved:
- Father: Robert Ritchie (Kid Rock)
- Mother: Kelley South Russell
- Son: Robert James Ritchie Jr.
This long-standing custody arrangement and the terms set by Kid Rock underscore his principal role in raising his son throughout his formative years.
