Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of rock icon Kurt Cobain and musician Courtney Love, has joyfully welcomed her first child with her husband, professional skateboarder Riley Hawk. The couple announced the birth of their baby boy, named Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk, on social media.
Frances, 32, shared a series of heartwarming black-and-white photos of their newborn son. In one image, the baby is seen holding onto his mother’s hand, while another captures Riley embracing his son. The proud parents expressed their overwhelming love for their new arrival, with Frances writing, “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”
The couple has been inundated with well-wishes from friends and family, including Tony Hawk, the legendary skateboarder and grandfather of the newborn, who joyfully exclaimed, “My favourite grandson!” Other celebrities, such as Zelda Williams and Harper Grohl, also extended their congratulations to the growing family.
Frances and Riley’s relationship was made public in 2022 when Frances returned to Instagram after a hiatus to share glimpses of their life together. Their romance blossomed, leading to a private wedding ceremony in October 2023, officiated by REM frontman Michael Stipe, Frances’ godfather.
Prior to her marriage to Riley, Frances was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva, from whom she divorced in 2016. The couple had tied the knot in June 2014, but parted ways less than two years later. Frances’ latest chapter of motherhood marks a new beginning for the accomplished artist and her skateboarder husband.
Fans and well-wishers are eagerly anticipating more updates and glimpses into the life of Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk’s growing family as they embark on this new and exciting journey together.
