The Story

Avril Lavigne revealed on Instagram on Friday that she has welcomed her first child, a baby girl.

The 42-year-old singer-songwriter wrote, “Our mini princess has arrived,” using an expletive for emphasis.

In the posts, Lavigne shared three images, including photos of her holding the baby to her chest and a skateboard with two adult-size checkered Vans beside a pair of baby Vans.

Lavigne has not revealed her partner’s identity or the baby’s name.

Lavigne’s debut album, “Let Go,” released in 2002, sold more than 17 million copies worldwide and launched hits including “Complicated,” “I’m with You” and “Sk8er Boi.”

Her next two albums—“Under My Skin” in 2004 and “The Best Damn Thing” in 2007—each debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Girlfriend” became her first No. 1 single in the United States.
