Who is Tyler Boebert? Lauren Boebert, 36, becomes grandmother as son, 17, is now father to a baby boy
DENVER, COLORADO: Congresswoman Lauren Boebart revealed that she has become a grandmother at the age of 36. She made the announcement during an interview about her feud with congressional colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene.
During a spat on the House floor, Greene called Boebert a "little b***h." The next day she was asked about the spat in the Fox News interview with Sean Hannity. It is during the talk Boebert who previously shared that raising a child is cheaper than birth control revealed about her teenage son's newborn.
Who is Tyler Boebert?
Lauren and her ex-husband Jayson Boebert share four children, including Tyler. In April, Boebert announced that her son was having a child. During a Moms for America event, she told the crowd, "So I’m going to tell you all for the first time in a public setting, that not only am I a mom of four boys, but come April I will be a Gigi to a brand new grandson. And Jason and I are so excited to welcome this new life into our family," reported Daily Mail. The identity of Tyler's partner remains unclear.

Boebert is proud of Tyler's partner for not seeking an abortion
Boebert said that there was "something special" about rural communities as she explained that teen mothers in such communities do not abort pregnancies which is often done among urban teenagers.
As per the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention data, teenage mothers are less likely to finish high school than teenagers who are childless. The Colorado Republican is herself a living example that proves the statistic. In 2004, Boebert dropped out high school when she became pregnant. It was only a month before her first primary contest for her congressional race in 2020 that she was able to finish her GED.
"Now my son when I approached him and told him, 'Tyler, I’m going to be a 36-year-old grandmother.' He said, 'well didn’t you make granny a 36-year-old granny'. I said, 'Yes, I did.' He said, 'Well then it’s hereditary,'" she said at the Moms of America event. Boebert also added that she was proud of Tyler's partner as she did not seek an abortion.
'Marjorie is not my enemy'
Talking about her feud with Greene, Boebert said, "Sean, I did not put my life on pause and leave my four boys and my now grandson to come here and just get in spats with people."
"I came here to legislate and to be effective for Coloradans, Coloradans who are suffering from the Democrats’ policy. Marjorie is not my enemy. Joe Biden’s policy, the Democrats, that is my enemy that I am combating right now," she told the host.
