The reported marriage comes more than a year after Frances Bean Cobain revealed the relationship on social media.

In her heartfelt post, Frances wrote, "Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything."

This marks a new chapter for Frances, the only child of Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, who tragically passed away in 1994. Her mother, Courtney Love, is now a grandmother. Had he lived, Kurt Cobain would have been a first-time grandfather.

Frances married Riley Hawk in 2023, and their relationship connects two legacies — one from the world of rock and the other from skateboarding. Riley, a professional skateboarder, is the eldest son of Tony Hawk, one of the most famous skateboarders in history.

Michael Stipe, frontman of R.E.M. and Frances' godfather, also celebrated the news, commenting on her Instagram post, "With all the love and energy in the whole world."

The news has drawn attention from fans of Kurt Cobain’s musical legacy and Tony Hawk’s skateboarding influence, bringing two iconic worlds together with the arrival of baby Ronin.
