Kurt Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean and Tony Hawk’s son Riley Hawk have married.
TMZ reported that the couple tied the knot in Los Angeles on October 7 after obtaining a marriage license in San Diego County in September.
And what’s more, rock royalty had a musical icon as celebrant that day: REM frontman Michael Stipe.
Michael is also Frances’ godfather and her godmother is Drew Barrymore.
Frances and Riley have been together since at least January 2021… and it is her second marriage, albeit his first.
Frances Bean Cobain is MARRIED! Kurt Cobain’s daughter and Tony Hawk’s son Riley tied the knot and guess which music icon served as celebrant. It must be love: The couple tied the knot in Los Angeles on October 7 after getting a marriage license in September in San Diego County Packing on PDA: Frances was vacationing at a lake with his father in February 2022 Tony and his wife Catherine Goodman are seen cuddling with Riley
Frances filed for divorce from her first husband, musician Isaiah Silva, in March 2016 after less than two years of marriage.
They eventually got into an argument over a guitar belonging to their future father, Kurt.
Frances’ mother is Hole frontwoman Courtney Love. Her father, Nirvana frontman Kurt, died in April 1994 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Rumors that Frances and Riley were dating first surfaced on Reddit, where a user posted a photo of them having dinner with his parents Tony and Catherine.
As word spread, people began to share their comments, most of which were supportive.
“If they had a child, their grandparents would be two of the biggest icons of the ’90s. “Amazing,” one person wrote.
“OK, this is legitimately good news for humanity,” another commenter shared.
And one person seems to sum up the sentiment by posting: “The daughter of the best nineties guy ever is dating the son of the second ninetieth guy ever.”

In 2019, Frances’ mother, Courtney Love, requested that Frances’ ex-husband Isaiah undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
The request was related to a complex legal dispute between Love, Frances and Silva over an acoustic guitar played by the late Kurt Cobain during one of Nirvana’s appearances on MTV: Unplugged.
Silva eventually came into possession of the instrument after his divorce with Frances was resolved.
Courtney and Frances were ready to continue their case against Silva.
“Kurt wouldn’t want that and Courtney won’t let any of it happen,” a family source told Page Six.
“Frances and the family are prepared to fight with unprecedented legal force and they will prevail.”

The psychiatric evaluation will be the beginning of an attempt by Courtney and Frances to prove Silva insane.
According to the same source, Silva has a “terrifying obsession” with Kurt and may believe he is a “reincarnation of Kurt.”
The psychiatric examination will be recorded and the notes will be published as the procedure progresses.
