It is neither skateboarding nor music that directly connects the two Tony Hawk and Kurt Cobain. Their children, Frances Bean Cobain and Riley Hawk, are married, per TMZ. The couple wed in Los Angeles on October 7, 2023. Frances, 31, began dating Riley, 30, sometime in January 2021, per TMZ and People. The wedding ceremony was officiated by another 1990s icon, Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M., who is Frances’ godfather.
So while the two icons never met in person, their children have helped complete the circuit for an ultra-’90s pop culture climax, and social media reacted accordingly, per the Daily Mail. “Daughter of the most nineties dude ever is dating the son of the second most nineties dude ever,” one user wrote. “If they had a child, their grandparents would be two of the largest icons from the nineties. Insane,” another added.
