The news came just shy of a year after Frances and Riley tied the knot back on October 7, 2023, according to a court document obtained by People.
The ceremony had been held in Southern California and was largely private and intimate, but Tony had shared photos of the couple later in the year as a birthday tribute to Riley.
The wedding had been inspired by the Victorian era and officiated by R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, who is Frances’ godfather.

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk was quick to joke about the newest member in the family: “My favorite grandson!”
“WE LOVE YOU tiny prince!!” commented Tallulah Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis. “What a beautiful gift to such special parents. You are so loved.”
Reality TV star Nick Simmons also added, “Love you fran, and very happy for you. The prophecy is fulfilled.”

Frances was only 19 months old when her father Kurt Cobain passed away at 27 years old in 1994.
This past April, on the 30th anniversary of his death, the American model shared a tribute on Instagram, posting childhood memories of the two.
“The 2nd & 3rd photo capture the last time we were together while he was still alive,” she wrote in her caption. “His mom Wendy would often press my hands to her cheeks & say, with a lulling sadness, ‘you have his hands.’

“She would breathe them in as if it were her only chance to hold him just a little bit closer, frozen in time. I hope she’s holding his hands wherever they are.”
The message later continued with Frances expressing how she wished she could’ve known her father.
“I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story.”
