American visual artist and model Frances Bean Cobain is in the headlines for getting married to Riley Hawk. Riley is the eldest child of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who also happens to be a skateboarder like his father. The couple tied the knot on October 7, 2023, years after being in a relationship. 31-year-old Frances Bean Cobain is the daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and the American singer and guitarist Courtney Love. Bean Cobain has been extremely private about her personal life and barely talked about her relationship with Riley.

However, when the couple started dating, the Los Angeles native took to her social media to share some images of herself with her street skateboarder boyfriend. But a particular picture featuring Tony Hawk has caught the attention of fans as the couple hits the headlines once again.

On January 2, 2022, Bean Cobain returned to her Instagram after a year’s hiatus, and she addressed the issue of why she took a break from the internet. In a streak of images featuring some of her artwork, she shows her mother, her dogs, and her boyfriend (now husband) holding a dog. In this carousel of images, one picture stood out in which the couple can be seen cuddling each other while Tony Hawk is also there with his wife in an identical pose.

In this throwback post captioned “I wanted to share a few moments that were captured / created this past year that brought me a great amount of joy,” she was hopeful for an incredible year in 2022. This was the first time Frances posted something publicly about Riley Hawk and stamped her relationship with the pro skateboarder. She lost her father when she was just a year old, and her mother was also denied custody due to substance abuse problems.
