Avril Lavigne announced on Friday that she and her partner have welcomed a baby girl. The singer shared the news in the most millennial pop-punk way ever. Care to wager a guess? Did she mock up a fake Warped Tour poster? Make a fake MySpace page for her daughter? Give her baby severe side bangs and make it look like she was taking a high-angle selfie on a digital camera? No, but she did get the baby a pair of checkered slip-on Vans.
In an Instagram post captioned, “Our Mini Fucking Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷,” Lavigne shared three black-and-white photos. After a photo of Lavigne and her partner (whose identity is unknown) holding their daughter’s hand and one holding her baby, Lavigne shared the real pièce de résistance. In the pic, three pairs of Vans — presumably his, hers, and baby’s — rest atop a skateboard.
It’s nice to see that Lavigne is not only setting up her baby to be cooler than all of her peers, but preparing her for a lifetime of being called a “sk8r girl.”
