Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, and her husband Riley Hawk, son of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, have welcomed their first child, Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk. Frances shared the happy news on Instagram, posting black-and-white photos of their newborn, born on September 17, 2024. The couple, who married in October 2023, are now embracing parenthood after a relatively private relationship that began in 2021.
The announcement was met with love from friends and family, including Tony Hawk, who called Ronin his “favorite grandson,” and other notable figures like Zelda Williams and Harper Grohl. Frances has often reflected on her father’s legacy, especially on the 30th anniversary of his passing earlier this year. Now, as she enters motherhood, Frances begins a new chapter of her life, creating her own legacy while honoring the past.
