Avril Lavigne welcomed her own little Sk8er Girl with the birth of her first baby.
“Our Mini F***ing Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” Lavigne, 42, revealed in a Friday, November 13, Instagram post, borrowing lyrics from her 2007 hit “Girlfriend.”
The “I’m With You” singer shared a carousel of photos celebrating her daughter’s arrival, including a shot of herself cradling the little one close to her chest. The baby is already showing off a fun sense of style in a leopard print onesie and matching headband.
It is not immediately clear who the father of the baby is, though Lavigne included photos of both of them holding their daughter’s hand. A third image features three sets of Vans sneakers on a skateboard — sized for mom, dad and baby.
Us has reached out to Lavigne’s spokesperson for comment.
Lavigne has addressed the possibility of becoming a mom throughout her career. In 2008, the Canadian singer-songwriter downplayed the likelihood of having kids with then-husband Deryck Whibley anytime soon.
“Oh God! I don’t want to have kids for like 10 years,” she told OK! at the time. “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 and Whibley’s marriage ended in 2010, and she was later wed to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.
The subject of motherhood came up again in a 2014 interview with the Toronto Sun, as Lavigne stressed that her career was still her top priority.
“I’m really focused on my career at the moment,” she told the outlet. “Down the road, I would love to be a mom, just not right now.”
In recent years, Lavigne has had a relationship with billionaire heir Phillip Sarofim from 2018 to 2019. She announced her engagement to singer and rapper Mod Sun in April 2022, though they eventually split before ever tying the knot.
“Avril and Mod Sun have been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2023.
A separate insider revealed to Us in March 2023 that Lavigne and Mod Son (real name Derek Ryan Smith) “got to know each other on a deeper level and found out it didn’t work out.”
Lavigne dodged questions about whether she was dating Tyga during a 2024 “Call Her Daddy” podcast interview, though she did open about what she expected from a partner.
“I think the most important thing is finding someone that you’re compatible with, because you could be two different great people. But if you’re not compatible, you’re not going to get along,” the singer noted. “It all just sounds cliche. Someone that is trustworthy, because if you don’t have that, you’re just never going to feel grounded in the relationship, and you’re going to be spinning. So that’s just not healthy.”
