Frances Bean Cobain Welcomes First Child with Riley Hawk: ‘Welcome to the World, Beautiful Son’

2024-09-29

In an exciting announcement, Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of iconic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and musician Courtney Love, has officially become a mother. Frances took to Instagram late Saturday night to share the joyous news that she and her husband, Riley Hawk, the son of legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, welcomed their baby boy earlier this month.

“9.17.2024. Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk 🤍,” she wrote in her heartfelt post, adding, “✨ Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything ✨.” The announcement was accompanied by stunning black-and-white photos of the newborn, showcasing tender moments between Frances and her son, as well as a loving image of Riley cradling their baby in his arms.

Tony Hawk, 56, couldn’t contain his excitement as he expressed his joy over the new family member in the comments section, declaring Ronin his “favorite grandson.”

This delightful addition to their family comes less than a year after Frances, 32, and Riley, 31, tied the knot on October 7, 2023—a month after they secured their marriage license in San Diego. The couple’s wedding was reportedly officiated by R.E.M. frontman and Frances’s godfather, Michael Stipe.

Frances and Riley began dating in early 2021 but kept their relationship under wraps for several months. Their romance became public in February 2022 when Frances shared a heartwarming slideshow on Instagram featuring intimate moments with Riley, stating, “I wanted to share a few moments that were captured/created this past year that brought me a great amount of joy.”

Before her relationship with Riley, Frances was married to musician Isaiah Silva from 2014 to 2017. Their split was marred by a contentious legal dispute over one of Kurt Cobain’s prized guitars, which ultimately sold at auction for a staggering $6 million.

Frances’s journey into motherhood marks a new chapter in her life, and fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the family as they embrace this wonderful milestone. Could this mean we’ll see more collaborations between Frances and her talented parents’ legacy, or perhaps even a glimpse of her budding life as a mom? Only time will tell! Stay tuned for more updates and congratulations to Frances, Riley, and their adorable new addition!
