Riley Hawk and Frances Bean Cobain are married! They got a marriage license in San Diego County the month before their wedding, according to TMZ. Riley Hawk’s father and a world-class skateboarder, Tony Hawk, provided confirmation of this information to PEOPLE through his representative.
The marriage certificate, which TMZ was able to obtain, indicates that the couple wed on October 7. The R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who is also Frances Bean Cobain’s godfather, performed the ceremony.
The 31-year-old Frances Bean, who is the daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, revealed her relationship with Riley, a 30-year-old professional skateboarder, to the public last year.
Frances shared candid photos on her social media
In January 2022, Frances returned to Instagram following a year-long absence. She shared a collection of pictures on social media that showed off happy memories she had shared with others, some of which showed her connection with Riley.
Riley is seen in one of the pictures holding a dog that is decked up for Christmas and grinning broadly. Another picture features Frances and Riley cuddling up on a boat alongside Tony, Riley’s father, and Catherine Goodman, his stepmother.
Frances wrote that her year-long hiatus from Instagram posting had been good for her mental, emotional, and spiritual health in the caption for the image carousel. She was thankful that 2021 had allowed her to live more in the present than she had in the past.
According to Frances Bean Cobain, she wanted to highlight a few of the moments from the previous year that had given her a great deal of happiness. She also expressed her hopes that genuine connections, warmth, and deep self-discovery would characterize everyone’s 2022. She raised a glass to the new year as she wrapped up her speech.
What’s happening in Frances Bean Cobain’s life
The previous marriage of Frances Bean Cobain and Isaiah Silva lasted for 21 months, starting on June 29, 2014. However, it was confirmed in 2016 that she had filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. According to the court records, Frances argued that Silva should not get any portion of the $450 million estate that her father left behind.
After their split, the two got into a fight over who should own Kurt Cobain’s famous guitar. In the end, Frances lost the guitar to Silva as part of the terms of their divorce agreement.
Less than two years after purchasing the distinctive property for $1.9 million, Frances Bean Cobain recently sold her Spanish-style Hollywood Hills home for $2.29 million. It’s important to remember that she has recently parted ways with a few other homes. She listed her four-bedroom, four-bathroom Spanish-style home in the Hollywood foothills for $2.695 million in 2018 after divorcing Isaiah Silva.
