Canadian pop-punk icon Avril Lavigne has announced the arrival of her first child — a baby girl — with an undisclosed partner.
In an Instagram post, Lavigne joyfully proclaimed, “Our Mini F–king Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” sharing a series of photos that featured her and her partner cradling the newborn’s hand, alongside an image showcasing three pairs of classic checkered slip-on Vans neatly arranged on a skateboard.
The 42-year-old Lavigne has yet to disclose the name of her baby or the identity of the father; currently, the Sk8er Boi singer is not publicly associated with anyone.
Previously, Lavigne has been married twice to other notable Canadian musicians: Deryck Whibley, the frontman of Sum 41 (2006–2010), and Chad Kroeger from Nickelback (2013–2015). She was also engaged to American rapper Mod Sun and has had past relationships with Tyga, Brandon Davis, Wilmer Valderrama, and Brody Jenner.
Her latest work, released in 2024, is a comprehensive greatest hits album featuring 20 tracks from her seven studio albums, showcasing hits from Complicated to Girlfriend to Head Above Water.
Her most recent studio album, Love Sux, debuted in 2022 and was produced by Mod Sun, Travis Barker, and John Feldmann.
While she has not been on tour in 2026, Lavigne kicked off a 69-show Greatest Hits Tour in 2024, beginning in Vancouver. This tour included 13 performances across Canada, wrapping up at the All Your Friends Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, in June 2025.
