Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk Welcome Baby Boy

Congratulations are in order for Frances Bean Cobain and her husband, Riley Hawk, who have welcomed their first child together.

The daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain revealed through Instagram on Saturday (Sept. 28) that she and the son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk are now proud parents to a baby boy.

“Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk,” Frances, 32, captioned adorable black-and-white photos of the newborn, revealing he was born on Sept. 17. “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”

In the first photo, the tiny baby is seen holding his mother’s hand, while another shows proud dad Riley, 31, cradling his son in a soft blanket.

The couple’s friends and family flooded the comments section of France’s post, sharing messages of well-wishes and congratulations. New grandfather Tony Hawk joked, “My favorite grandson!” and Harper Grohl, the daughter of the Kurt’s former bandmate Dave Grohl, replied with heart and teary-eyed emojis.

The comments section also included touching notes from famous musicians, including R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon and Dresden Dolls’ Amanda Palmer, among others.

“With all the love and energy in the whole world,” commented Stipe, who is France’s godfather. Gordon added, “Huge congratulations!” And Palmer wrote, Oh my god!!! MAZEL TOV to all of you and everyone over there. I am so incredible happy to see this universe-stitching news. All the love to you.”

Frances and Riley’s romance was first revealed through social media in 2022, and the couple married about a year later in an intimate ceremony officiated by R.E.M.’s Stipe.
