Canadian pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne has welcomed her first child — a baby girl — with an unnamed partner.
“Our Mini F–king Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” Lavigne shared in a post on Instagram, accompanied by a carousel of photos, including one of her and her mystery partner holding the newborn’s hand, and another of a row of three pairs of classic checkered slip-on Vans — lined up in a row on a skateboard.
Lavigne, 42, hasn’t revealed the baby’s name or who her father is; the Sk8er Boi singer is not publicly linked to anyone at the moment.
Lavigne has been married twice in the past to fellow well-known Canadian musicians: Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley (2006–2010) and Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger (2013–2015). She was also once engaged to American rapper Mod Sun, and has been previously linked to Tyga, Brandon Davis, Wilmer Valderrama and Brody Jenner.
Her latest release came in 2024 in the form of a career-spanning greatest hits album, including 20 songs across her seven studio albums — everything from Complicated to Girlfriend to Head Above Water.
Love Sux, her most recent studio album, was released in 2022 and produced by Mod Sun, Travis Barker and John Feldmann.
While Lavigne has not toured in 2026, she embarked on a 69-show Greatest Hits Tour starting in Vancouver in 2024. The run included 13 stops across Canada, concluding at the All Your Friends Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont., in June 2025.
