The third photograph features three pairs of black-and-white checkered Vans sneakers arranged on a skateboard. Two pairs are adult-sized, while the smallest belongs to the newest member of the family.

Lavigne captioned the photographs, “Our Mini Fucking Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷.”

Although she shared the first images of her daughter, the singer has not revealed the baby’s name or exact date of birth. Her partner’s identity has also remained private, with his face absent from the photographs.

According to People, a representative for Lavigne said the singer has been spending time with her family while working on an upcoming album. The representative also expressed her appreciation for the support and well wishes she has received from fans.

The birth comes after a series of high-profile relationships. Lavigne married Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2006 before their separation in 2009. She later married Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger in 2013. The couple announced their separation in 2015.

She was subsequently engaged to musician Mod Sun, whom she began dating in 2021. Their relationship ended in 2023.

During a May 2024 appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Lavigne discussed her approach to relationships, describing herself as someone who had generally been in serious relationships rather than casually dating. She also spoke about the importance of compatibility and trust in a partner.

Lavigne’s music career began with the release of her debut album, Let Go, in 2002. At 17, she became an international star with songs including Complicated, Sk8er Boi and I’m With You.

She has since released several albums, with her music continuing to attract audiences worldwide. Her Greatest Hits tour began in Vancouver in 2024 and continued into 2025.

The singer is now balancing preparations for her upcoming album with life as a mother, following an announcement that offered fans their first look at her daughter without disclosing further details about their family life.
