PBR is an incredibly unique sport with an unrivaled, passionate fan base, and it's a great addition to the entire Fox Nation viewer experience,' said Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Nation, in a statement. As part of the pact, Fox Nation will roll out season two of 'Last Cowboy Standing' starting Friday, July 11.

Both the singer and politician have not spoken about the rumoured romance. Back in February, Kid Rock — Robert James Ritchie — and Boebert were seen getting in a cab together in the early morning hours in Washington, D.C. 'I think we'll pass,' Boebert's press secretary told Page Six when asked if they were dating. A representative for Kid Rock did not respond. In addition, Boebert was spotted chatting with Kid Rock at the President Donald Trump's inaugural ball on Jan. 20 in Washington, according to video obtained by TMZ. The short clip showed Boebert 'totally transfixed' by the rock star, the celebrity news site reported. She was seen doing a little dance, laughing and having an animated conversation. Kid Rock has been dating longtime love Audrey Berry since they met in Detroit in 2007, shortly after his divorce from Canadian actress Pamela Anderson. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Boebert's split from husband Jayson was finalized in October 2023 after she filed for divorce months earlier. They agreed that their marriage was 'irretrievably broken,' reported the Colorado Sun . Boebert said the divorce process was partly to blame for her behaviour during a performance of the musical Beetlejuice at the Buell Theater in Denver. Surveillance video showed the congresswoman from Colorado vaping, taking pictures, waving her arms and groping her date. She was kicked out of the theatre after patrons complained about her disruptive behaviour. 'There's no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past four months has made for a challenging time for me and my entire family,' Boebert wrote in a statement at the time. 'I've tried to handle it with strength and grace as best as I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That's unacceptable and I'm sorry.'
