Canadian pop-punk singer and songwriter Avril Lavigne has announced the surprise arrival of a healthy baby girl —the star’s first child — much to the surprise, confusion, and sheer delight of her fans.
Lavigne, 42, has been out of the spotlight for around a year, and now fans know why. She did make an appearance at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding — where she is believed to have serenaded the happy couple and walked away with a luxury prize from the raffle — but has otherwise stayed away from public life since 2025.
The “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” and “I’m With You” singer took to social media to share her amazing news with the world.
Avril Lavigne Welcomes Her ‘Princess’ to the World
Avril Lavigne shared the amazing news about her new baby daughter with the 13.9 million followers on her Instagram account and the 15.3 million followers on her X account.
Both posts feature three images. All three images are black and white. In the first, Lavigne’s hand can be seen, along with the hand of her new daughter, and the hand of the baby’s father. In the second snap, Lavigne holds her new daughter close in a standing position. The third image is a cute shot of a skateboard with three pairs of identical skate shoes on it in mom, dad, and baby daughter sizes.
Lavigne’s caption on her posts reads, “Our Mini [expletive] Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷.”
Her Instagram post has comments turned off. However, her fans and followers flooded her X post with responses.
Suffice it to say that, while everyone is absolutely delighted for her, there’s an equal amount of confusion. That stems from the facts that nobody knew Lavigne was even expecting a child (whether it be though being pregnant or a surrogate) or that she was in a relationship with anyone. In fact, the identity of the father of Lavigne’s daughter is still a complete mystery.
