Canadian pop-punk star Avril Lavigne, 42, has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, in a surprise announcement on Instagram on Friday, 13 November. The singer, best known for “Complicated” and “Sk8er Boi,” had not previously disclosed that she was expecting a child.
She shared three black-and-white photos. One showed her and her partner holding the newborn’s tiny hand. Another showed her cradling the baby, dressed in a cheetah-print onesie.

The third showed a skateboard topped with two adult pairs of checkered Vans and a tiny baby pair. She captioned the post: “Our Mini F***ing Princess has arrived” with ribbon, crown, bottle and pink heart emojis.
She did not share the baby’s name or date of birth. She also did not reveal the identity of her partner, and comments on the post were turned off.
A representative told People magazine that Lavigne has been enjoying time with her family while working on a new album and wants to thank fans for their love.
The eight-time Grammy-nominated singer had last been seen in public in April in Los Angeles, and had been silent on Instagram since October 2025. She was previously married to Deryck Whibley and Chad Kroeger.
