Canadian pop-rock singer Avril Lavigne announced the birth of her baby girl on Friday keeping her entire pregnancy completely under wraps.
TN.cz reported that nobody knew the singer was dating anyone or expecting a child. Maminka.cz added that the artist shared the news through a series of stylish black-and-white photographs on Instagram.
The arrival of the newborn marks a significant milestone for the 42-year-old musician, who spent more than two decades in the global spotlight. Centrum.cz noted that the surprise announcement follows a period where Lavigne kept a lower profile and made fewer public appearances than in previous years.
The identity of the newborn’s father remains a mystery. Super.cz reported that while Lavigne posted a picture holding the baby, she did not reveal the father’s face or name. One shared image features a man’s hand alongside the tiny baby’s hand and the mother’s hand, while another shows three pairs of shoes—adult, women’s, and men’s—standing on a skateboard, according to Maminka.cz.
Centrum.cz detailed her later relationships, noting an engagement to musician Mod Sun that ended in 2022, followed by a brief relationship with American rapper Tyga that concluded in the autumn of 2023.
In her Instagram post, the singer welcomed her daughter with a direct statement to her followers.
“Naše malá princezna je tady!”

Speaking about her personal life in a May 2024 interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, Lavigne shared that she never preferred casual dating and always prioritized serious relationships, according to Maminka.cz.
When asked about starting a family back in 2013 shortly after her second marriage, Lavigne told interviewers she wanted to be truly prepared and focused her priorities entirely on her music and new records, Maminka.cz reported.
