Avril Lavigne has surprised fans by announcing she has welcomed a baby girl, sharing the first pictures of her newborn daughter on social media.
The Girlfriend singer, 42, revealed the happy news in an Instagram post, giving followers a glimpse of her little girl in a series of sweet photographs.
One picture showed Avril cradling her daughter, who was dressed in an adorable leopard-print baby grow, while another captured the tiny hand of the newborn being held by Avril and her mystery partner.
The Canadian star also appeared to give a nod to one of her biggest hits, Sk8er Boi, by sharing a picture of three pairs of Vans trainers arranged in size order on top of a skateboard.
Keeping her announcement short and characteristically playful, Avril captioned the post: “Our Mini F***king Princess has arrived.”
The singer has kept details of her relationship under wraps, with her partner’s identity yet to be confirmed publicly.
Her last widely reported romance was with rapper Tyga in 2023. The pair were first linked earlier that year but later went their separate ways.
In 2024, Avril was also pictured sharing a kiss with a mystery man during a trip to Lake Como in Italy. The pair were seen cuddling up on a boat, although the identity of the man was never confirmed.
Avril has previously been married twice. She wed Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2006, but the couple announced their separation in 2009 before their divorce was finalised the following year.
She later married Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger in 2013. The pair announced their separation in 2015.
The singer, who shot to international fame in the early 2000s with hits including Complicated, Sk8er Boi and Girlfriend, has largely kept her private life away from the spotlight in recent years.
Her latest announcement has therefore come as a surprise to fans, who have been given their first glimpse of the newest addition to her family.
Back in 2015, Avril opened up about her battle with Lyme disease.
The Canadian star, who was diagnosed with the bacterial infection in 2014, shared an update with fans from the doctor’s office as she continued her treatment.
Sharing a picture showing 13 vials of blood, she wrote: “On my way to good health #TakingCareOfMyself #F***LymeDisease.”
The Canadian singer shared her struggle on Good Morning America at the time for the first time on-camera, and revealed how she considers her new opportunity as the chance to start over.
“This is my second shot at life,” Avril cried as she spoke to ABC’s Jesse Palmer.
In the summer of 2014 Avril found herself bedridden for five months.
Doctors and health professionals struggled to work out what was wrong – initially mistaking her symptoms with Chronic fatigue syndrome.
“I’m about halfway through my treatment. I’m doing a lot better,” she said.
“Seeing a lot of progress… I’m just really grateful to know that I will make [a] 100 percent recovery.”
