Avril Lavigne Announces Birth of First Child, a Baby Girl
Avril Lavigne has become a mother. The singer announced on 13 November 2026 that she and her partner have welcomed a daughter, her first child.
She shared the news on Instagram with a set of black-and-white photos. The caption read: "Our Mini F–king Princess has arrived." It was the first post on her account in more than a year, according to Billboard, which reported the announcement. She also turned off comments on the post.
The announcement did not name the father. Lavigne has not said who her partner is, and the post gave no details about the relationship.
Her recent public relationship was with the rapper Tyga, which was reported in 2023. Before that, she was engaged to the musician Mod Sun. Neither man was named in the birth announcement.
Lavigne rose to fame in the early 2000s with a run of hit singles, and she has remained a familiar name to fans across several generations. Her posts have been sparing in recent years, which made the new announcement stand out to many of her followers.
For readers who follow her career, the news marks a personal milestone rather than a professional one. The announcement contained no information about new music, a tour or a project. Any future plans will depend on what Lavigne and her team choose to share.
Congratulations are coming in from fans and fellow musicians, and the post had already drawn a large response before comments were closed. Her representatives had not released further details at the time of publication.
