Avril Lavigne announced on November 13 that she had quietly given birth to a daughter, sharing the news on Instagram. The 42-year-old singer had not publicly disclosed a pregnancy or been seen dating anyone. In her post she wrote "Our Mini F**king Princess has arrived," with black-and-white photos including one of her holding the baby's hand and an image of three pairs of checkered slip-on shoes representing her family. TMZ reported, citing sources, that the baby's father is a private individual who is not famous, prefers to stay out of the spotlight, and has been seriously dating Lavigne for at least a couple of years. Just Jared reported that the couple are excited about welcoming their baby girl together. Lavigne has previously been married to Deryck Whibley and Chad Kroeger, dated Tyga, and was engaged to Mod Sun before their 2023 split.
