Canadian pop-punk icon Avril Lavigne has announced the arrival of her first child — a baby girl — with an undisclosed partner.
In an Instagram update, Lavigne expressed her joy, stating, “Our Mini F–king Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” and shared a series of photos, which featured one of her and her unnamed partner gently holding the newborn’s hand, alongside another image showcasing three pairs of classic checkered slip-on Vans arranged neatly on a skateboard.
The 42-year-old singer has yet to disclose the baby’s name or the identity of her partner, as she is currently not known to be publicly associated with anyone.
Lavigne has previously been married twice to notable Canadian musicians: Deryck Whibley, the lead vocalist of Sum 41, from 2006 to 2010, and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback from 2013 to 2015. She was also engaged to American rapper Mod Sun and has had past connections with Tyga, Brandon Davis, Wilmer Valderrama, and Brody Jenner.
Her most recent release came in 2024, featuring a comprehensive greatest hits album that encompasses 20 tracks from her seven studio albums — spanning hits like Complicated, Girlfriend, and Head Above Water.
Lavigne’s latest studio work, Love Sux, was launched in 2022 and produced by Mod Sun, Travis Barker, and John Feldmann.
Although Lavigne has not toured in 2026, she kicked off a 69-show Greatest Hits Tour in 2024, beginning in Vancouver. This tour included 13 performances across Canada, culminating at the All Your Friends Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, in June 2025.
