Avril Lavigne welcomed her first child, a baby girl, with an undisclosed partner, announcing the birth on Instagram on Friday, November 13.
The 42-year-old pop-punk singer shared a carousel of images on social media to reveal the arrival of her daughter, Page Six reported. The post included photos of Lavigne and her partner holding the newborn’s tiny hand, Lavigne cradling the infant in a cheetah-print onesie, and three pairs of checkered Vans sneakers resting on a skateboard, according to Yahoo Lifestyle Canada.
The final photo in the slideshow symbolized the new family of three, and the snap also appeared to be a sweet nod to her 2002 hit “Sk8er Boi,” TODAY reported.
What to Know About the Birth
- Avril Lavigne announced the birth of her first child on November 13 with the caption, “Our Mini F–ing Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” according to E! News.
- The singer has not revealed the name of her daughter or the identity of the child’s father, as Loudwire noted.
- The newborn’s arrival follows Lavigne’s public relationship history, which most recently included rapper Tyga, who she split from in October 2023.
Private Relationships and Past Engagements
Lavigne has kept her personal life largely out of the public eye in recent years. During an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in May 2024, she said that she was “f– awesome” in relationships and remarked, “I never really did the dating thing,” Yahoo Lifestyle Canada reported. She added, “I was always, like, in a pretty major relationship.”
She also mentioned, “I would date me,” and continued, “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.” Though Lavigne played coy about her current relationship status, she did reveal what she was looking for in a relationship, saying, “The most important thing is finding someone that you’re compatible with.” The artist added, “Obviously, it all just sounds cliché,” and noted, “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.”
Her last publicly known relationship was with rapper Tyga. After breaking up in June 2023 and reuniting briefly in Las Vegas, the romance ended permanently in October 2023, according to Page Six. The insider insisted that Lavigne and Tyga, 36, “were not exclusive” and were “taking things very slowly to be on the safe side.”
Before dating Tyga, Lavigne was engaged to fellow musician Mod Sun. That relationship ended in February 2023, catching Mod Sun’s representatives by surprise while he was away on tour, Page Six reported.
“They were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour, so if anything has changed, that’s news to him,” Mod Sun’s representative said at the time. Prior to those relationships, Lavigne was married twice: to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010, and to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.

While married to Kroeger, Lavigne spoke about her long-term family goals in a 2013 interview with E!
News, stating, “I want one or two [kids], but not right now. Like, in the future. In 2014, while married to Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, she told QMI Agency, I want one or two kids, but not right now, like, in the future, eventually. “Down the road, I would love to be a mom, just not right now.” Over the years, Lavigne also expressed interest in eventually starting a family, though she wasn’t in a rush to have children, saying in a 2008 interview with OK! Magazine while married to Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, “I don’t want to have kids for like 10 years.” “I still have a lot to do.” “I don’t even know if I could handle a dog right now.” “I’m so not ready.” “Someday I’ll be a mom but not until I’m in my 30s,” Lavigne said.
