    Frances Bean Cobain has given birth to a baby boy

    The 32-year-old artist - who is the daughter of Courtney Love and late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain - and her husband Riley Hawk welcomed baby Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk into the world earlier this month and couldn't be happier


    Frances shared a series of photos of her and her husband with their son on Instagram and wrote: "9.17.2024

    "Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk [blue heart emoji]

    "Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything (sic)"

    Riley's dad, retired skateboarder Tony Hawk, was among the first to comment on the post.

    He quipped: "My favorite grandson!"

    A number of the pair's friends also offered their congratulations.

    Tallulah Willis wrote: "WE LOVE YOU tiny prince!! What a beautiful gift to such special parents. You are so loved."

    Zelda Williams posted: "Ahhhh! Congrats!!!!"

    Harper Grohl, the daughter of Kurt's bandmate Dave Grohl, shared a series of heart and teary-eyed emojis to convey her happiness.

    Christina Ricci also shared a series of heart emojis as she added: "Congratulations."

    Sonic youth's Kim Gordon posted: "Huge congratulations!"

    The couple went public with their romance two years ago and married in October last year in an intimate ceremony officiated by the bride's godfather, R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe.

    Later in the year, Tony shared a photo from the wedding as part of a 31st birthday tribute to Riley.

    He wrote in his caption: "Happy 31st to this wonderful, talented young man. I am thankful he found the love of his life and a healthy, disciplined approach to adulthood. And that he is inspiring his younger siblings by example.

    "We had a blast at the wedding and we love you Riley! (Frances please show this to him since he's no longer in the Insta bubble)."
