Avril Lavigne has surprised fans with a major personal announcement, revealing that she has welcomed her first child, a baby girl.

One photograph showed the singer and her partner holding their daughter’s tiny hand, while another captured Lavigne cradling the newborn, who was dressed in a cheetah-print outfit.

The announcement also featured three pairs of Vans trainers, seemingly representing the new family of three. The photographs offered a glimpse into a personal milestone that the singer had not previously announced publicly.

However, Lavigne did not identify the child’s father or provide further details about her relationship status, leaving fans curious about the identity of her mystery partner.

Her announcement has also brought renewed attention to her previous relationships. The singer was last publicly linked to rapper Tyga, with whom she had an on-and-off romance in 2023. The pair were first romantically linked early that year before their relationship ended in October.

Before Tyga, Lavigne was engaged to musician Mod Sun. Their engagement ended in February 2023, shortly before reports of her relationship with Tyga emerged.

The singer was previously married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010 and Nickelback vocalist Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.

Lavigne had spoken about wanting children previously, explaining that motherhood was something she hoped to experience eventually.

Her latest announcement marks a new chapter for the singer, who has kept details of her personal life largely away from public attention.
