Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of renowned musicians Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, and Riley Hawk, son of legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, recently exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Los Angeles. The intimate event, held on October 7, was presided over by none other than former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who also happens to be Frances’ godfather.

The nuptials between Frances and Riley mark a significant moment as the two scions of influential figures in the realms of music and sports come together in matrimony. Riley, a professional skateboarder and the frontman of the acclaimed band Warish, brings his own legacy of athleticism and creativity to the union.

Frances, an accomplished visual artist, has made her own mark in the public eye, previously gaining attention during her divorce from musician Isaiah Silva, which notably involved a highly publicized legal battle over one of her late father’s cherished guitars.

Despite their notable family backgrounds, the newlyweds have deliberately kept much of their relationship out of the public eye, with only occasional glimpses offered on their respective social media accounts. Frances, in particular, has shared select moments from their life together, offering a peek into their shared journey.
