Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of rock icons Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is dating Riley Hawk, the son of famed skateboarder Tony Hawk.
The romance has sparked comments from fans who seem to like the idea that the offspring of two of the biggest 1990s icons have united as a couple.
At this point, it’s unclear when the pair began their relationship, but Cobain confirmed the coupling in an Instagram post at the beginning of the 2022 new year.

Coupling: Frances Bean Cobain, 29, confirmed she’s dating Riley Hawk, 29, in Instagram post
After taking a year-long break from the social media platform, Cobain, 29, shared a series of snaps that she accumulated over the course of 2021.
Two of the images feature Riley, one of which shows him sitting in front of a Christmas tree flashing a beaming smile while holding a small dog.
Another photograph shows Riley and Frances snuggled up together while on holiday on a lake with Tony and his wife Catherine Goodman.
The post also includes an images of Frances taking a selfie, her grandmother Wendy O’Connor, who’s the mother of Kurt, a shot of two small dogs, and some artwork.
And in homage to the late great Nirvana singer-songwriter, Frances shared a picture of herself as a baby sleeping next to her famous father that was likely taken in late 1992.

Rumors that the pair were dating first began on Reddit, where one user posted a photo of Frances and Riley out at dinner together with Tony and Catherine.
As word began to trickle out, people started to share their comments, which for the most part were supportive.
‘If they had a child, their grandparents would be two of the largest icons from the nineties. Insane,’ wrote one person.
‘OK this is legitimately good news for humanity,’ another commenter shared.
And one person seem to sum up the sentiments by posting: ‘Daughter of the most nineties dude ever is dating the son of the second most nineties dude ever.’
Frances was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva in 2014, but she eventually filed for divorce from the singer in March 2016, which was made official the following year.
Her father, Kurt Cobain, died by a self-inflicted gunshot in April 1994, when Frances was just a one-and-a-half-years-old.
