“Didn’t Have Anyone to Hang Out With in Jupiter”: Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter Once Reminisced Her Long-Standing Bond With Kid Rock

Being born in the household of a sporting superstar comes with its luxuries and amenities. Paulina Gretzky is one such celebrity child. Daughter of the NHL great Wayne Gretzky and American actress Janet Jones, Paulina, is the eldest of 5 siblings. She naturally grew up around a lot of Hollywood and sports celebrities. One such celebrity who grew close to their family is the singer of songs like ‘Cowboy’ and ‘Bawitdawa’.

When talking about Kid Rock, he is a singer-songwriter whose style varies from hip-hop, rap, and country to metal. Having been friends with Wayne and his wife since his playing days, Kid Rock is also close to Paulina and her siblings since childhood.
Even Paulina once said, “My mom and dad have been friends with Kid for a long time”.

Kid Rock was also seen performing at Paulina’s wedding at the gorgeous BlackBerry Farm hotel and resort in Tennessee. He rendered a cover of John Fogerty’s beautiful song “You are the Joy of my Life” from the album Blue Moon Swamp. An appropriate choice for such a lovely and important occasion.

One can easily say that Kid and Paulina share a close bond with each other. In 2014, Paulina sat with Golf Digest to give an interview about all things in her life. There she talked about how Kid Rock’s friendship with her parents smoothly transitioned to herself and now her husband Dustin, as well.

Notably, Kid Rock lives in the Jupiter Inlet Colony, at the southern tip of Jupiter Island, Florida, and spends most of his time alone.

As a result of their friendship, Kid and Dustin started spending a lot of time at the Golf course. Kid found a new pastime and one of the finest in the sport to spend that time with.
