Kurt Cobain’s Daughter Marries Tony Hawk’s Son
Frances Bean Cobain, the 31-year-old daughter of iconic rock stars Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is officially a bride. She tied the knot with Tony Hawk’s son, Riley Hawk, in a ceremony held in Los Angeles on October 7, as reported by Page Six. The couple had previously obtained a marriage license in San Diego a month before the big day.
Francis Bean Corbin, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is now Tony Hawk’s daughter-in-law after she married pro skateboarder Riley Hawk.
Frances Bean Cobain, a fashion model and visual artist, took to Instagram in February 2022 to confirm her relationship with the 30-year-old professional skateboarder. The couple had been quietly dating since early 2021 but chose to keep their relationship private for some time. In February 2022, Frances broke her year-long social media silence with a heartfelt post, including a photo of her and Riley Hawk sharing a loving moment.
In her post, Frances Bean Cobain reflected on a year of personal growth and moments of joy, emphasizing her newfound focus on living in the present. Apparently, that’s what led her to find happiness with Riley Hawk.
Frances Bean Cobain, who has been in the public eye since birth, is no stranger to media attention. Her parents, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, are rock music legends, making Frances true rock and roll royalty. Her godfather, Michael Stipe, the frontman of the rock band R.E.M., is also a celebrated figure in the music industry. According to reports, Stipe officiated Frances and Riley Hawk’s wedding ceremony.
While the wedding is a first for Riley Hawk, Frances Bean Cobain was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva from 2014 to 2017 until the marriage ended in controversy.
Details about the wedding remain sparse. Given both Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk’s strong ties to the music and entertainment industries, it’s possible that the wedding was a star-studded affair.
While the wedding is a first for Riley Hawk, Frances Bean Cobain was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva from 2014 to 2017 until the marriage ended in controversy. The divorce led to a protracted legal battle over one of Frances’ late father Kurt Cobain’s guitars. Silva ultimately acquired the guitar and sold it at auction for a staggering $6.01 million.
Frances Bean Cobain is an accomplished model and artist, while Riley Hawk is a world-class skateboarder, but both are gifted musicians.
Riley Hawk is a professional skateboarder like his father, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. Like Tony, Riley had also created a name for himself in the world of extreme sports before tying the knot with Frances Bean Cobain this month. Unlike his father, Riley is recognized for his street skating rather than vert style.
Riley Hawk turned professional at the age of 21 in December 2013, earning Skateboarder magazine’s 2013 Amateur of the Year award on the same day. Riley is sponsored by Baker and Lakai and has appeared in various Tony Hawk video games, including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. Just like Frances Bean Cobain, Riley also has music in his blood, and, in addition to his skating career, he’s the frontman of the punk band Warish.
Despite being rock and roll royalty, details about Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk’s wedding remain a tightly kept secret, leaving fans to speculate what the ceremony was like. Either way, we hope the pair is happy and wish them the best in their new chapter together.
