Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is dating Riley Hawk, the eldest son of Tony Hawk.

The romance has sparked joy amongst fans of the skateboarding legend and late Nirvana frontman, who sadly passed away back in 1994.

While it's unclear how long the pair have been in a relationship, Frances confirmed the news in a post to her Instagram earlier this year.

Returning to the platform following a year-long break, the 29-year-old shared a slideshow of snaps and various artwork from 2021.

Check out Frances Bean Cobain's sweet Instagram post right here:

Two of the images featured boyfriend Riley. In one picture, he can be seen sitting in front of a Christmas tree and smiling at the camera while holding a small dog.

Another snap shows the couple on holiday with Tony and his wife Catherine Goodman.

"I wanted to share a few moments that were captured/created this past year that brought me a great amount of joy," Frances wrote in the caption.

"2021 brought me more into the present moment than I’ve ever been, which I’m deeply grateful for. Here’s to hoping everyone’s 2022 is filled with authentic connections, a lot of warmth, and profound discovery of self. Happy New Year."

The post also includes an image of Frances taking a selfie, her grandmother Wendy O'Connor, who's the mother of Kurt, a shot of two small dogs, and some artwork.

And in homage to the late great Nirvana icon, Frances shared a picture of herself as a baby sleeping next to her famous dad.

Confirming their relationship, Riley commented: "Happy new year my love!"

Rumors that the pair were dating first began on Reddit, where one person posted a picture of the couple out at dinner together with Tony and Goodman.

Fans of Tony and Kurt praised the coupling, with one person writing: "If they had a child, their grandparents would be two of the largest icons from the nineties. Insane."

"Daughter of the most nineties dude ever is dating the son of the second most nineties dude ever," another person said.

A third person wrote: "OK this is legitimately good news for humanity."

Frances was previously married to musician Isaiah Silva. However, their romance was ill-fated as the pair called it quits in March 2016, less than two years after the pair wed in June 2014.
