Avril Lavigne announces birth of first child
The 42-year-old singer revealed on Instagram that she has welcomed a daughter with an unnamed partner.
Avril Lavigne confirmed on Instagram that she has become a mother for the first time, sharing photos of her newborn daughter and the child's father, who remains unidentified. The pop-punk artist posted images showing the baby’s hand held by the couple and the infant dressed in a cheetah-print outfit. Lavigne also displayed three pairs of Vans sneakers, suggesting they belong to herself, the father and the baby.
The singer, who was last seen publicly in April leaving the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles, has previously been linked to rapper Tyga and other partners, but no details about the father of her child were provided.
Lavigne’s announcement follows earlier public appearances, including a surprise performance at an after-party for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s New York City wedding in July, where she reportedly won a Chanel handbag in a raffle.
