Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk Welcome First Child

Frances Bean Cobain and her husband Riley Hawk have announced the birth of their first child, a son named Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk. Their joyous news was shared via Cobain’s social media account on September 28, 2024. The post included charming black-and-white photographs of the newborn, who arrived on September 17, 2024.

In the first photo, Ronin Hawk is seen clasping his mother’s hand, and in another, proud father Riley Hawk is cradling the infant, wrapped in a soft blanket. Frances captioned the photos, “Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.”

Messages of congratulations and well-wishes flooded the couple’s announcement. Among the commenters was legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, the newborn’s grandfather, who humorously wrote, “My favorite grandson!” Other notable comments came from Harper Grohl, daughter of former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, and Zelda Williams, daughter of the late Robin Williams.

Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, introduced her relationship with Riley Hawk, Tony Hawk’s son, in 2022 through a series of photos on social media. The couple married in a private ceremony officiated by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. approximately one year later.
