Avril Lavigne Announces Birth of Her First Child on Instagram: a Daughter, Name Not Shared
Canadian singer Avril Lavigne announced on Instagram on November 13 that she has welcomed her first child, a daughter. According to USA TODAY, Lavigne, 42, had not previously disclosed that she was expecting, and the post came as a surprise to fans.
Lavigne shared a trio of black-and-white photos: a close-up of her and her partner holding the newborn's hand, a shot of her cradling her daughter, who was dressed in a cheetah-print onesie with a matching headband, and a playful snap of a skateboard stacked with three pairs of checkered Vans sneakers, two adult-sized and one tiny pair for the baby, in a nod to her skate-punk roots. Her caption, 'Our mini f-ing princess has arrived,' references a lyric from her 2007 hit 'Girlfriend.' She did not share the baby's name or date of birth, has not publicly disclosed her partner's identity, and included no full photo of the couple.
According to Page Six, Lavigne's previous Instagram post dated to October 23, 2025, ending more than a year of social-media silence, and her last public outing was in April, outside the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
Lavigne's relationships have long drawn attention. She married Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley in 2006 and filed for divorce in 2009, citing irreconcilable differences; she was married to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015; and she began dating alternative rocker Mod Sun in 2021 and became engaged, before the pair called off the engagement two years later. In a 2013 interview she said she wanted one or two kids eventually, but was not ready at the time and wanted to focus on her music first.
