Newlyweds Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk Tie the Knot in Celebrity- Studded Ceremony |
Frances Bean Cobain, the offspring of iconic ’90s rock couple Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, has joined her life with Riley Hawk, the son of legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk and Cindy Dunbar. This joyous union was celebrated in a picturesque Los Angeles ceremony on the 7th of October, 2023, adding another chapter to the legacy of ’90s royalty. Court documents recently obtained by TMZ revealed that the couple had previously acquired a marriage license in San Diego County. The ceremony, as reported by the same outlet, was graced by the presence of R.E.M.’s frontman and Frances’ godfather, Michael Stipe, who officiated the event, adding an extra layer of star-studded charm to the proceedings.
The spokesperson for Tony Hawk confirmed the matrimonial milestone when speaking to Entertainment Weekly, though further comments were politely declined, allowing the newlyweds their privacy.
Frances, now 31, has carved her own path as an artist and model, walking in her parents’ footsteps in the world of creative expression. Meanwhile, Riley, at the age of 30, has seamlessly continued his father’s legacy in the skateboarding world, establishing himself as a professional skater. Their love story became public knowledge in January 2022 when Frances shared a heartfelt Instagram post, capturing moments that had filled her life with an immense amount of happiness. The photo carousel included appearances by her father-in-law, Tony Hawk, and his fourth wife, Catherine Goodman, showing the blending of their two worlds.
Frances had previously experienced matrimony with musician Isaiah Silva, but their journey took a turbulent turn, leading to a separation in 2017. This chapter was marked by a contentious divorce, with a significant dispute over her late father’s cherished Martin D-18E acoustic guitar. This instrument had once been strummed by Kurt Cobain himself during his iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged performance. Silva asserted that Frances had gifted him the guitar, a claim that she vehemently denied. Despite her efforts to keep the guitar within her family, a judge ultimately ruled against her, leading to its departure from her possession.
