Singer Avril Lavigne has revealed that she has secretly welcomed a baby girl with a partner whose identity has not been made public. Reports describe the newborn as a "mini f**king princess" and say Lavigne shared the news in a way that surprised fans, with details of the birth emerging after she spoke about her daughter.

Entertainment outlets reporting on the announcement have described the child as Lavigne's first baby, and have framed the disclosure as a personal one rather than a formal public event. The sources available for this report do not give a date or place of birth, nor the name of the child's father beyond being described as a "mystery man".S1S2
