Tony Hawk’s son is dating Kurt Cobain’s daughter!
Frances Bean Cobain had been absent from social media and the larger public sphere for some time, taking a break to focus on her mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.
The year 2021 was a year of healing for Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s daughter. When the year came to an end, she quietly revealed on Instagram that she was dating Tony Hawk’s son Riley Hawk, the iconic skateboarder.
Frances Bean Cobain Takes a Year Off
Frances explained in an Instagram post on New Year’s Day 2022 that she had taken a year off from Instagram, which had been extremely beneficial to her mental, physical, and spiritual health.
I’m grateful to 2021 for bringing me more into the present moment than I’ve ever been.
She explained in the caption of the same post that the post was meant to let her fans in on the moments from the year 2021 that brought her “a great deal of joy.”
While she had discovered her path to self-love and self-discovery, she wished for everyone to be filled with authentic connections, a lot of warmth, and profound self-discovery in 2022, before she actually posted a happy New Year’s wish.

Previous Relationships of Frances Bean Cobain
Frances was married to her husband, Isaiah Silva, prior to her relationship with Riley. The former couple married in 2014, only to be imprisoned for two years until 2016. (From E! Online)
In 2016, the couple finalized their divorce and divided their assets. Frances was unfortunately forced to give up her father’s iconic 1959 guitar, which Kurt famously played on MTV’s Unplugged.
This was due to the husband’s claim that she gave him the instrument as a gift.
