LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Avril Lavigne has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with her mystery partner. The singer took to Instagram on Friday, November 13, to announce the birth of her daughter. However, details about her partner remain unknown.

A representative for the musician told People that she is enjoying quality time with the new member of her now-family-of-three. “Avril has been enjoying time with her family while working on her new album and wants to thank the fans for all of their love!” they shared.

Avril Lavigne announces birth of her baby girl with unseen photos 

Lavigne announced the birth of her daughter by sharing three black-and-white photos on Instagram. The first image showed a close-up view of the singer and her partner lovingly holding the newborn baby’s hand. 

The second photo highlighted the singer’s new role as a mother as she gingerly cradled her daughter and kept the little one close to her chest. While Lavigne was dressed in casual jeans and a top, the child was seen wearing a leopard-print onesie with a matching hair band and baby socks. 

The third image showed three pairs of checkered Vans shoes on a skateboard. In the photo, two pairs of adult sneakers in large and medium sizes, seemingly belonging to the new parents, are seen resting near a pair of mini baby Vans, signalling the arrival of the new member.

“Our mini… Princess has arrived,” Lavigne simply captioned the post alongside a ribbon, a queen crown, a baby feeding bottle, and pink heart emoji. However, the singer kept the child’s name and her father’s identity under wraps.

Avril Lavigne keeps her private life away from the spotlight

The multi-Grammy-nominated artist has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. Lavigne declined to respond when asked about her relationship status during a 2024 appearance on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast. However, she told host Alex Cooper, “I never really did the dating thing. I was always, like, in a pretty major relationship.”

“I would date me. I cook. I’m a really big cook, really big into, like, the house and decorating, and I have a lot of fun with that,” she further added.

Speaking about relationships in general, the ‘Complicated’ hitmaker said, “The most important thing is finding someone that you’re compatible with.” 

“Obviously, it all just sounds cliché,” she stated, adding, “someone that is trustworthy, ‘cause if you don’t have that, you’re just never going to feel grounded in the relationship, and you’re going to be spinning.”
