Is It a Boy or a Girl?

In the first black-and-white image, three hands appear in the photo carousel, captioned "Our Mini F*****g Princess has arrived." Two are believed to be Lavigne and her partner's, and the third belongs to her newest family member. 

In the second image, the singer cradles her daughter, who is dressed in a leopard-skin onesie. The third shows three pairs of checkered Vans sneakers on a skateboard: two adult sizes and one baby-sized pair. 

As PEOPLE reports, the father of Lavigne's daughter is unknown. 

Avril Lavigne Says She's "Awesome" in Relationships

When Lavigne appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast in 2024, she didn't say whether she was dating anyone. However, she did reveal that she is "f*****g awesome" in relationships. 

"I would date me," she said. "I cook. I'm a really big cook, really big into, like, the house and decorating, and I have a lot of fun with that."

Lavigne also told host Alex Cooper what she looks for in a partner. 

"The most important thing is finding someone that you're compatible with," she said. "Obviously, it all just sounds cliché, someone that is trustworthy, 'cause if you don't have that, you're just never going to feel grounded in the relationship, and you're going to be spinning."

In another part of the interview, Lavigne addressed a conspiracy theory about her. Some have claimed on internet forums that the singer died in 2003 and was replaced by a doppelgänger named Melissa.

"I mean, it's just funny to me," she says, "Like, on one end, everyone's like, 'You look the exact same. You haven't aged a day.' But then other people are like, there's a conspiracy theory that I'm not me."

Cooper jokingly indulged in the speculation, saying to Lavigne that "what's crazy is you haven't aged." 

The host added, "I'm staring at you. And, like, I'm picturing you with your auburn hair. And I'm like, oh my God. You literally look the same from when you were younger."
