Kurt Cobain’s daughter Frances and Tony Hawk’s son Riley announce surprise birth of child

Frances Bean Cobain is now a mom after welcoming her first child with husband Riley Hawk

Frances Bean Cobain is officially a mom.

Frances, 32, is the only child to the late Kurt Cobain, whom he shared with singer and guitarist Courtney Love.

Born in 1992, Frances was less than two years old when her father took his own life in April 1994.

The Nirvana frontman was only 27 years old when he died, making him part on the notorious '27 Club'.

Fellow famous music stars like Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison are part of the so-called 'club' as well having also died at 27.

While it will have been undeniably difficult for Frances to grow up without her father, the 32-year-old is embarking on a positive new chapter of her live having just welcomed her first child.

Frances is married to Riley Hawk, 31, the eldest of former professional skater Tony Hawk's kids.

The pair tied the knot last year and are now parents to a newborn son.

Frances did not publicly share the news of her pregnancy, but took to Instagram on Saturday (September 28) to announce the arrival of their baby boy.

Posting a series of pictures of the baby and Riley with their son, Frances revealed that he was born September 17.

The tot's full name is Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk.

"Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything," Frances' sweet post went on.

The new parents have since been inundated with congratulatory messages from friends and fans alike.

"Congratulations," penned Nicole Ricci next to a string of heart emojis as new grandad Tony Hawk joked that baby Ronin is his 'favorite grandson'.

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, added: "Ahhhh! Congrats!!!!"

"Beautiful!!!!!!! Welcome! You two are going to be such great parents," gushed someone else.

Echoing similar sentiments, another wrote: "I can’t wait to watch you guys be the best parents."

"Welcome to the world sweet boy," said a different person.

Ronin's arrival comes soon before Frances and Riley's first wedding anniversary.

According to People, the couple wed on October 7, 2023, as per the marriage certificate obtained by the outlet.

The ceremony was reportedly officiated by R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who is Frances’ godfather.

Frances had been previously married to Isaiah Silva for 21 months after they tied the knot in June 2014.

They cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce.
