Frances Bean Cobain, the only child of legendary rock star Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, has welcomed her first child with husband Riley Hawk, the eldest son of skateboarding icon Tony Hawk. In a heartfelt announcement, Frances shared the joyful news on social media, posting a series of adorable images of her newborn, Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk, along with the caption: “Welcome to the world, most beautiful sun. We love you more than anything.”

The news has sparked a wave of congratulations from friends and fans, including a warm message from Tony Hawk, who proudly referred to his new grandson as his “favorite.”

Frances and Riley began dating in 2021, officially announcing their relationship on Instagram the following year. The couple tied the knot on October 7, 2023, in a beautiful ceremony held in Southern California, officiated by Michael Stipe, the frontman of R.E.M. and Frances’s godfather. Fans were treated to glimpses of the wedding when Tony Hawk posted a tribute for Riley’s 31st birthday, expressing his love and excitement for the newlyweds.

As Frances celebrates this significant milestone in her life, she also reflects on the legacy of her father. In April, she marked the 30th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s passing with an emotional Instagram post. Sharing poignant photos, she wrote about her longing to know her father, expressing wishes to understand his voice, his favorite coffee, and the comfort of bedtime stories.

She concluded her post with a profound insight: “He gifted me a lesson in death that can only come through the lived experience of losing someone. When we love ourselves and those around us with compassion, openness, and grace, our time here becomes infinitely more meaningful.”

With the arrival of her son, Frances not only honors her father’s memory but also embarks on a new chapter of motherhood, creating her own legacy filled with love and cherished moments.
