Avril Lavigne has a new title to add to her résumé: mom! The “Complicated” singer has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, and gave fans a sweet first look at her newest family member.
The 42-year-old shared the news on Instagram with a series of black-and-white photos. In one picture, Lavigne and her partner hold their newborn’s tiny hand, while another shows the singer cuddling her baby close to her chest.
She also included a photo of three pairs of checkered Vans sitting on a skateboard. The two adult-sized pairs are joined by a much smaller pair made just for the newest member of the family. Naturally, even the baby’s first footwear has a little rock-star energy.
“Our Mini F-king Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼,” Lavigne wrote in her caption.
The singer has not publicly identified the baby’s father.
Avril Lavigne Once Opened Up About Her Love Life
Although Lavigne has kept some details of her personal life private, she previously offered a glimpse into how she approaches relationships during a May 2024 appearance on Call Her Daddy.
While speaking with host Alex Cooper, the singer answered questions about her dating history and confidently described herself as “f-king awesome” in relationships.
“I never really did the dating thing,” she admitted to host Alex Cooper. “I was always, like, in a pretty major relationship.”
The eight-time Grammy-nominated artist also explained why she considers herself a good partner.
“I would date me. I cook. I’m a really big cook, really big into, like, the house and decorating, and I have a lot of fun with that.”
When Cooper asked whether she was currently seeing anyone, Lavigne chose not to reveal any details. However, she did share what she looks for in a relationship.
“The most important thing is finding someone that you’re compatible with.”
“Obviously, it all just sounds cliché,” she continued, “someone that is trustworthy, ’cause if you don’t have that, you’re just never going to feel grounded in the relationship, and you’re going to be spinning.”
Lavigne Has Always Been Close With Her Family
Motherhood also brings a new chapter for an artist who has often spoken about the support she received from her own parents.
In May 2025, Lavigne brought her mom onstage during her concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. She later shared a video and photos from the emotional moment on Instagram, thanking her parents for helping her chase her music dreams.
“I brought my Mom up on stage last night !!!!” the Instagram post shared on Wednesday, June 4 began.
“Ever since I was a little girl, both my mom and dad saw something in me and encouraged me to practice very hard and pursue my dream of becoming a singer/ musician.”
Lavigne also reflected on the sacrifices her parents made throughout her journey.
“They made a lot of sacrifices for me and I could not be where I am today without them. Mom thank you for believing in me. I am grateful to both my parents. Thank you for everything, I love you both! ❤️❤️❤️”
During the concert, the singer recalled her mother predicting her future in music after hearing her sing “Jesus Loves Me” as a young child.
“When I was 2 years old, she knew I was going to be a singer,” the star added.
Now, Lavigne gets to begin a new journey of her own. And if those tiny checkered Vans are any indication, her little princess may already be ready to follow in her mom’s rock-star footsteps.
