AceShowbiz - Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, recently went out with her first child around one month after his birth. Previously, on September 28, she took to Instagram to announce the arrival of Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk, who was born on September 17.
Cobain, 32, shared black-and-white photographs of her newborn son, including one of him holding her finger and another of his father, Riley Hawk, 31, cradling him outdoors. "Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything," she captioned the post.
Riley Hawk is the son of skateboarding icon Tony Hawk, making their son the grandson of both a rock legend and a skateboarding legend. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last year, officiated by R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who is Cobain's godfather.
Cobain's godfather and many other famous friends and family members expressed their well wishes in the comments section. Tony Hawk joked, "My favorite grandson!" while Dave Grohl's daughter, Harper, simply posted heart and teary-eyed emojis.
The birth of Ronin Hawk marks a new chapter for the daughter of Kurt Cobain, who tragically passed away in 1994. Cobain was just two years old at the time of her father's death. In an earlier tribute on the 30th anniversary of his passing, Frances wrote, "The biggest lesson learned through grieving for almost as long as I've been conscious, is that it serves a purpose. It's the opportunity to fully experience the depth of the love you have for them."
