Singer Avril Lavigne, 42, announced on Instagram on Friday, November 13, 2026, that she has welcomed her first child, a daughter, with a partner she has not identified.
It is her first child. She shared the news with a set of photos.
"Our Mini F—ing Princess has arrived," Lavigne wrote in the caption, followed by ribbon, crown, baby bottle and heart emojis.
What the photos show
In the first picture, Lavigne and her partner hold their newborn's hand. Another image shows the "Complicated" singer cradling the baby, who wears a cheetah-print outfit.
A third photo shows three pairs of Vans sneakers. They appear to belong to Lavigne, her partner and their daughter.
Lavigne has not said who the baby's father is, and the baby's name and birth date have not been shared.
Last public appearances
Lavigne was last seen publicly in April, leaving the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles after partying with friends. She wore a baggy black-and-white sweatshirt, fishnet leggings and tall black boots.
In July, she was reportedly a surprise performer at an after-party for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's New York City wedding. Lavigne took home a Chanel handbag from the wedding raffle, according to a Page Six Hollywood exclusive.
Past relationships
Her last publicly known partner was rapper Tyga, now 36, whom she began dating in early 2023. The two were pictured kissing at Paris Fashion Week that March.
They split in June 2023 and reunited in Las Vegas the following month. By that October, their romance was reported to be "totally done."
Before Tyga, Lavigne was engaged to singer Mod Sun. They ended things in February 2023, which appeared to surprise him. His representative said at the time that the two were "together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour."
Lavigne was married to Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010. She was married to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.
She also dated billionaire Phillip Sarofim for a year before they broke up in 2019. Earlier, she dated reality star Brody Jenner for two years, until 2012.
During her marriage to Kroeger, Lavigne spoke about wanting children. "I want one or two [kids], but not right now," she said in a 2013 interview. "Like, in the future. Eventually."
