Avril Lavigne Welcomes First Child, a Baby Girl

Avril Lavigne has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, sharing the arrival with fans in a series of black-and-white social media photographs.

The 42-year-old pop-punk singer posted the images on Friday, showing her and an unconfirmed partner holding the newborn’s hand, alongside a shot of her cradling the baby close to her chest. A third photo featured three pairs of checkered Vans sneakers—two adult-sized and one baby-sized—lined up on a skateboard.

“Our Mini F—ing Princess has arrived,” Lavigne wrote in her caption, adding ribbon, crown, bottle, and pink heart emojis, as reported by ABC News – Breaking News, Latest News and Videos. Lavigne did not disclose the infant’s name or the identity of the father in her social media posts.

A representative for the singer confirmed the birth on Friday, stating that Lavigne has been spending time with her family while continuing work on a new album. Prior to the birth announcement, the “Complicated” singer had not posted to her main Instagram grid in more than a year, cbc.ca reported.

Lavigne married rock musicians Deryck Whibley and Chad Kroeger

Lavigne’s personal life has frequently intersected with the music industry through high-profile relationships with fellow rock musicians. She was first married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2006 before the couple separated in September 2009, with their divorce finalized in November 2010, Global News reported.

In July 2013, she married Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger after a whirlwind romance that began when Kroeger was enlisted to co-write tracks for her self-titled fifth studio album. Lavigne and Kroeger announced their separation in September 2015.

In March 2022, Lavigne became engaged to singer-songwriter Mod Sun after he proposed in Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the background. The pair originally connected as coworkers in January 2021 while co-writing the single “Flames” and appearing in its music video. That engagement ended by February 2023.

Discussing her approach to partnerships during a May 2024 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Lavigne told host Alex Cooper about her domestic routines. “I’m f—ing awesome. I would date me. I cook. I’m a really big cook, really big into, like, the house and decorating,” Lavigne said on the Global News-covered podcast.

Touring and Future Plans

The birth of her first child follows a busy period of touring for the Canadian artist. Last year, Lavigne embarked on her Greatest Hits tour in May and June, playing dates featuring supporting acts such as Simple Plan, Fefe Dobson, and We the Kings, according to CBC.

While representatives confirmed she is working on new music following the arrival of her daughter, further details regarding release dates or upcoming performances remain unannounced by her management team.
