A tiny hand, baby Vans and a new chapter for Avril Lavigne – motherhood
NEW YORK (AP) — Avril Lavigne — the princess of pop-punk — has a new title: mom.
Pop-punk sensation Avril Lavigne has entered the realm of motherhood, welcoming her first child, a baby girl. The eight-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter shared the news on Instagram, exclaiming, "Our mini princess has arrived," along with three images of her new family. Lavigne, now 42, did not disclose her partner's identity or the baby's name in her post.
The images showed Lavigne and her presumed partner holding the infant's hand, Lavigne tenderly cradling the baby to her chest, and a skateboard with adult-sized, checkered Vans next to a pair of baby Vans. Lavigne's debut album, "Let Go," released in 2002, sold over 17 million copies worldwide and spawned hit singles "Complicated," "I'm with You," and "Sk8er Boi."
Her subsequent albums, "Under My Skin" and "The Best Damn Thing," also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with "Girlfriend" becoming her first No. 1 single in the United States.
