Avril Lavigne ProfileAvril Lavigne is officially a mother, and she shared the news in the coolest possible way.
The Sk8er Boi singer, now 42, welcomed her first child with her partner, who remains unnamed, leaving media outlets to dub him her “mystery” man.
Lavigne announced the news that she’s had a baby girl by posting on Instagram.
She shared a series of black-and-white photos: the first of Lavigne and her partner holding the baby’s hand; in the second, the singer cradles the baby close to her chest, and in the third image, three pairs of black-and-white checkered Vans – two adult sizes, and one pair of baby shoes – sit on a skateboard.
Lavigne hasn’t publicly named her partner, shown her baby’s face, or shared the baby’s name. She also limited comments on the post, leading fans to leave congratulatory messages on her second-most-recent post on Instagram, which was over a year ago.
The singer captioned the post: “Our Mini Fucking Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷”.

A representative for Lavigne told People, “Avril has been enjoying time with her family while working on her new album and wants to thank the fans for all of their love!”
Lavigne’s latest album, Love Sux, was released in February 2022. Marking a return to her pop-punk roots, the record debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 chart and at #3 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart.
In June 2022, she commemorated the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Let Go, by releasing a new edition of the record containing previously unreleased tracks.
Two years later, she released a Greatest Hits album and toured in support of it – but not in Australia. She took to the Glastonbury stage in June 2024, drawing one of the largest crowds ever seen at the Other Stage.
Last May, Lavigne unveiled the single Young & Dumb featuring Simple Plan, celebrating their previous tours together in 2002 and 2003. A month later, she was joined by Sum 41 singer – and her ex-husband – Deryck Whibley on stage at the Washington, D.C. edition of Warped Tour.
It’s been 15 years since Avril Lavigne touched down on Australian shores.
