First Baby Arrives for Frances Bean Cobain, Daughter of Kurt Cobain
Frances Bean Cobain is now a mother.
The only child of the late rock icon Kurt Cobain and rocker Courtney Love has welcomed her first baby with her husband Riley Hawk, who is the eldest son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
“9.17.2024 Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk,” Frances, 32, shared on Instagram on Sept. 28, along with photos of their baby boy and the proud father holding the newborn. “Welcome to the world, our most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”
Tony, now a first-time grandfather, commented, “My favorite grandson!” He also shared the same birth announcement that Riley had posted on his own Instagram page. Riley’s mother is the athlete’s ex-wife, Cindy Dunbar.
R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who is Frances’ godfather, wrote, “With all the love and energy in the whole world.”
Congratulations messages also came from Harper Grohl—whose father Dave Grohl was Kurt’s friend and bandmate in Nirvana—as well as from the late actor Robin Williams‘ daughter Zelda Williams, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore‘s daughter Tallulah Willis, and KISS rocker Gene Simmons‘ son Nick Simmons, who wrote, “Love you, Fran, and very happy for you. The prophecy is fulfilled.”
