Even though just about every Disney Channel show that ever existed tried to convince us that growing up as an awkward late bloomer was a universal experience, let’s be honest, some kids are just born cool. It’s a little soon to say but I’m pretty sure Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk’s son, Ronan Walker Cobain Hawk, already counts as the future coolest kid in school. The “beautiful boy” is Frances and Riley’s first son together whom they welcomed to the world on September 17. ICYMI, Frances Bean Cobain is the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, the first couple of punk rock. Riley Hawk’s father is Tony Hawk AKA every ’90s baby’s introduction into the world of skateboarding. Frances and Riley getting together is a meeting of grunge American dynasties that is especially touching after what Frances went through with the loss of her father and her contentious first divorce. Cheers to baby Ronan Walker Cobain Hawk, here’s everything to know about him.

How did Tonk Hawk’s son meet Kurt Cobain’s daughter?
Frances Bean Cobain (who has a presence in the punk fashion world as a model) soft-launched her relationship with Riley Hawk on January 1, 2022, after returning to Instagram following a social media break for her “mental, emotional & spiritual health.” In a carousel of “joyful” moments from the previous year (2021) Cobain included multiple pictures of Riley (including a gorg shot of the couple on a boatside double date with Riley’s parents). How exactly the private couple met is still under wraps, but given their large overlapping circle of alt-rock and celebrity friends, it seems likely the pair met through those mutual relationships.
