Kurt Cobain’s daughter Frances and Tony Hawk’s son Riley have had their first child together.
The pair announced the news on Instagram with some sweet baby snaps last night US time (28 September).
Frances, whose parents are Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, shared the series of black-and-white photos revealing Riley and her had welcomed a baby boy on 17 September.
She wrote in the caption: “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”
The 32-year-old has been married to the professional skateboarder since October 2023 when their ceremony was officiated by former R.E.M frontman Michael Stipe, her godfather.

Including a snap of Riley holding their son, Frances revealed the baby’s name is Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk.
And his skateboarding legend granddad commented to say: “My favourite grandson!”
Other snaps also show the newborn holding his parent’s hands.
And many of their famous pals commented to show some love for the family as singer (and friend of the late Cobain) Kim Gordon wrote: “Huge congratulations!”
Comic book writer and reality TV star Nick Simmons added: “Love you fran, and very happy for you. The prophecy is fulfilled.”
Actor and daughter of Bruce Willis, Tallulah Willis, penned: “WE LOVE YOU tiny prince!! What a beautiful gift to such special parents. You are so loved.”
Stipe also wrote in the comments: “With all the love and energy in the whole world.”
Harper Grohl, daughter of Kurt’s former Nirvana bandmate Dave Grohl, also commented with a heart and teary-eyed emojis as the late Robin Williams’ daughter, Zelda, wrote: “Ahhhh! Congrats!!!!”
Fans commented to say ‘this kid is gonna be SO awesome’ and added their huge congratulations.
Frances first confirmed she was dating Riley back in 2022 with a carousel of photos shared to Instagram reflecting on the year before.

One snap showed an almost mirror image of the pair cuddled up by the water alongside a similarly-posed Tony with his wife, Catherine Goodman.
And at the time, fans were buzzing to see the couple and made a prediction for what has now become reality: “If they had a child, their grandparents would be two of the largest icons from the nineties. Insane.”
Others called their relationship ‘legitimately good news for humanity’ as another pointed out: “Daughter of the most nineties dude ever is dating the son of the second most nineties dude ever.”
