Tyler Jay Boebert is the eldest son of Lauren Boebert and Jayson Boebert

Tyler Jay Boebert is the eldest son of Lauren Boebert and her ex-husband Jayson Boebert. He was born in 2005, two years after Lauren met Jayson Boebert at Burger King in 2003.

According to her memoir My American Life quoted by a 2023 Business Insider article, Lauren was 16 when she met Jayson, who was 22. After the birth of their first son, Tyler Jay Boebert, Lauren and Jayson got married. Apart from Tyler, the couple has three other sons, Brody, Kaydon, and Roman.

The Business Insider article also stated that two months before Tyler's birth, his father, Jayson had reportedly been arrested. He was charged with indecent exposure and lewd conduct after allegedly exposing himself to two women at a local bowling alley.

However, in her memoir, Lauren Boebert defended her husband claiming that he didn't expose himself. She added that Jayson "acted like he was going to unzip his pants" after having too much to drink.

According to News Break, Tyler attended Rifle High School in Rifle, Colorado. In 2023, Lauren Boebert announced that Tyler, who was 17 at the time, was expecting a baby with his girlfriend, making her a "36-year-old grandmother."

In 2022, the Denver Post reported, a neighbor called 911 and told dispatchers one of Boebert's sons was speeding down the street in a dune buggy.

"He's going like 50 miles an hour and this is a residential lane, there's kids. We tried to stop him, and he'd just freakin' cuss at us and just left," the neighbor told the dispatchers.

Shortly after, another neighbor called 911 and reported Jayson Boebert had struck the mailbox with his truck and claimed: "Someone took a swing at his kid and nobody did." The neighbor also expressed concerns that the Boerbert family had too many guns at home.

"I'm sure he's loaded to the hilt. Do you know who his wife is? Lauren Boebert. She's loaded. They all have guns. He just got chest to chest, face to face, looking to fight," the neighbor told 911.

At the time, no charges were filed after neighbors agreed to work out the situation among themselves.
