"This Is So '90s I Can’t Believe It": People React To Courtney Love And Kurt Cobain's Daughter Reportedly Marrying Tony Hawk's Son
Love is in the air! Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk are reportedly married. TMZ initially reported the news on Tuesday, and People and the Los Angeles Times have since confirmed it, they say.
In case you didn't know, Frances is the only child of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain. Here's Frances as a baby with her parents in 1993:
Meanwhile, Riley is one of Tony Hawk's sons. Riley's mother is Cindy Dunbar.
Here are Tony and Riley in 2019:
Little is known about the reported wedding. Though, according to the Los Angeles Times, Michael Stipe, who is cofounder of the band R.E.M., officiated the wedding. The publication also noted that Michael is Frances's godfather.
It doesn't appear that Frances or Riley have publicly commented on the wedding reports. However, Frances has occasionally posted photos of Riley on her instagram, seemingly as early as January of last year.
The reported wedding, and for some just learning that Frances and Riley are a couple, was enough to get Twitter (now known as X) to point out how very Gen X and '90s this news is. Here are some of the best reactions:
This is so 90s I can’t believe it.

This reads like AI was prompted to write a soap about the 90s. https://t.co/ENmeYmn1SW
