Frances Bean Cobain welcomes ‘beautiful son’

On September 28, the 32-year-old daughter of the late Nirvana frontman and actress Courtney Love shared the news on Instagram with her 1.6 million followers. She captioned the post, "9.17.2024 Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk. Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything," as per Daily Mail.

In the series of black-and-white photos, one captures the newborn holding hands with his mother, while another features Riley—son of retired pro skater Tony Hawk—cradling the baby outside against a backdrop of trees. 

Frances and Riley are believed to have wed in October 2023, in a ceremony officiated by REM's lead singer, Michael Stipe. Her post quickly garnered over 109 likes with many of the couple's famous friends and family members offering their congratulations in the comments on Frances' baby announcement. Riley's father, Tony Hawk, humorously commented, "My favorite grandson!" 

"Ahhhh! Congrats!!!!" wrote Zelda Williams, daughter of the late actor Robin Williams. Harper Grohl, daughter of disgraced Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, is among those leaving supportive comments. The teen posted crying and black heart emojis under a series of black-and-white photos of Ronin.

Frances shared the moment in her Instagram Stories, featuring John Lennon's 1980 song 'Beautiful Boy.' One heartwarming image showed Riley cradling their son, gazing at him lovingly, while another captured Frances’ finger entwined with her baby's tiny fingers.

The couple had not announced their pregnancy, catching fans off guard. Just weeks earlier, Riley had posted a sweet birthday message to Frances, sharing a black-and-white photo of them smiling together and writing, "Happy birthday to my queen!"

Frances and Riley began dating in early 2021. Previously, she was married to musician Isaiah Silva from 2014 to 2017.

In an April 2018 interview with E! News, Cobain expressed her hopes that her late father would be proud of her artistic journey. "I would hope that he would be proud of the human being I am, even if he didn't like the art I am putting out," she said, emphasizing that she sees her various creative outlets as interconnected. "With regards to music, I don't want to pigeonhole myself and say I am a musician or a visual artist because I feel like it's all-encompassing and I feel like every bit of my art is related to the other."
