    Watch: Avril Lavigne Welcomes First Baby

    Avril Lavigne is raising a sk8er girl.

    The “Sk8er Boi” musician recently shared a major glimpse into her private world, confirming she is now a mom after welcoming her first child, a baby girl.

    “Our mini f–king princess,” she captioned a Nov. 13 Instagram post featuring photos of her holding her daughter, three pairs of vans as well as her hand and another holding their baby’s finger, “has arrived.”

    Prior to expanding her family, over the years, Lavigne, 42—who hasn’t shared details about the identity of her baby’s father—has kept her personal life close to the vest.

    She was married to Sum 41 alum Deryck Whibley for three years until 2009, ending their relationship on amicable terms.

    “Deryck and I have been together for 6-and-a-half years,” she wrote on her website at the time. “We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship.”

    Looking Back on Avril Lavigne’s Relationship History

    In fact, their breakup just wasn’t complicated.

    “I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him,” she continued. “He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.”

    And when she met second husband Chad Kroeger in 2012, she ultimately decided that she wanted to be more than just his girlfriend, with the couple exchanging vows just a year later. However, by 2015, her relationship with the Nickelback singer met a different ending.

    “It is with [a] heavy heart that Chad and I announce our separation today,” she wrote on social media at the time. “Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we’ve created many unforgettable moments. We are still, and forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other. To all our family, friends and fans, thank you sincerely for the support.”

    Since then, Lavigne has been linked to Brody Jenner, Mod Sun and most recently in 2023, Tyga. And though she’s rarely shared insight into her personal life, the “Complicated” singer has opened up about taking a step back from the spotlight entirely.

    “I spent the last few years at home sick fighting Lyme Disease,” she wrote on her personal website in 2018. “Those were the worst years of my life as I went through both physical and emotional battles. I was able to turn that fight into music I’m really proud of. I wrote songs in my bed and on the couch and recorded there mostly as well. Words and lyrics that were so true to my experience came pouring out of me effortlessly. Truly… by keeping my spirits up, having goals to reach and a purpose to live for, my music helped to heal me and keep me alive.”

    “I’m taking my life back into my own hands and doing what it is I know I am meant to be doing in this life time,” she added. “Making music.”
