After highly controversial and scandal-plagued Colorado GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was spotted out and about with her infant grandson in tow several times over the last few months โ including a rather disturbing incident where the child was brought into the courthouse as Lauren and her ex-husband Jayson screamed each other down during their divorce proceedings โ the teen mother of her grandson has finally broken her silence on all the Boebert family drama in the aftermath of her breakup with Laurenโs teen son, the babyโs father.
17-year-old Naomi Rocha spoke exclusively with RawStory, and talked about the struggles and triumphs of raising her young son, Josiah Boebert, in the midst of his grandmaโs political shitstorm.
Rocha said her little guy is โdefinitely starting to grow a lot and getting a lot smarter, which is scaryโ and that sheโs โmanaging pretty good.โ
โMy son never leaves my side unless Iโm at work or heโs with Tyler,โ the teen mom told the publication, of course, with the exception of the โfew times (Lauren Boebert) took him to D.C.โ
Rocha went on to say that she was โshockedโ to see her infant son at the U.S. Capitol, as she โdidnโt know he was going to be on the House floor.โ

The 17-year-old told RawStory that she โtrulyโ doesnโt have any political leanings, before confirming to the outlet that she is no longer in a relationship with her sonโs father, Laurenโs teen son, Tyler Boebert.
โWe are not together,โ Rocha said. โWe were for a year and a half.โ
While their romantic relationship is now a thing of the past โ much like Laurenโs own relationship with her now ex-husband Jayson โ Rocha did confirm that she is sharing parenting time and duties with Tyler.
โWe do 50-50,โ she said. โAs of right now, no courts are involved.โ
She confirmed that she and the baby are living with her parents after staying with the Boeberts for a stint with Tyler.
Rocha said that her parenting arrangement with Tyler has been impacted by Laurenโs recent decision to switch districts in the state of Colorado, as her mounting scandals began to catch up with her, leaving her trailing in the polls.
โHer switching districts means more distance. We meet halfway,โ Rocha said.
When it came to the topic of her personal relationship with Lauren Boebert, Rocha said itโs, โpretty good.โ
โThere are a few ups and downs. Just mainly Lauren and Jaysonโs drama.โ
Thereโs certainly no denying that Lauren and Jaysonโs drama has been plentiful over the last few months, as the pair have been involved in multiple domestic disputes, with Lauren recently obtaining a restraining order against her ex-husband following a physical altercation at a local restaurant.
This is in addition to Tyler himself calling 911 on his father due to an alleged physical assault and then, of course, Laurenโs own personal scandals โ such as her lewd and inappropriate behavior in a crowded theater during a family-friendly play.
As for Rocha, sheโs just pushing forward with her own responsibilities.
โI work. I do GED classes,โ stating that she hopes to enter the medical field.
When asked how she copes with the seemingly never-ending drama coming out of her almost-in-lawsโ family, Rocha said, โthere are some times I do lose my cool,โ but, โI try not to read everything in the media and leave the drama to them.โ
