Avril Lavigne is a mother. The singer announced on Friday that she has welcomed her first child, a baby girl, in a surprise post on Instagram.
Lavigne, 42, shared black-and-white photos of her newborn, including one of the baby’s tiny hand held by her parents and another of her cradling the infant in a leopard-print outfit. She captioned the photos with a short message welcoming her “mini princess”, according to USA Today.
She shared no name or birth date, and she did not identify the baby’s father. The announcement surprised fans because Lavigne had not said she was pregnant, and she had posted almost nothing on Instagram for more than a year, according to Page Six.
The photos carried a small nod to her pop-punk roots: three pairs of checkered slip-on sneakers, two adult sizes and one baby size, arranged on a skateboard.
