Avril Lavigne has stunned fans by revealing that she is now a mom.
The 42-year-old Canadian singer announced the arrival of a baby girl in an Instagram post on Friday, without disclosing the identity of the infant's father.
'Our Mini F***ing Princess has arrived,' the pop-punk icon captioned a series of black-and-white images.
One photo showed Lavigne tenderly cradling her young daughter who was clad in a leopard print onesie.
The Complicated hitmaker was not known to have been in a relationship and was not known to be pregnant.
Lavigne was previously married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, 46, from 2006 - 2009, and to Nickelback rocker Chad Kroeger, 51, from 2013 - 2015.

In February 2023, her fiancé Mod Sun, now 39, said he was 'blindsided' by her decision to end their engagement.
Lavigne was spotted out with rapper Tyga, 36, just days later.
'Avril didn't cheat on Mod. She was simply over his BS and Tyga was an easy distraction,' an insider shared with the Daily Mail at the time.
The exes had previously gotten engaged during a March 2022 trip to Paris. They met in 2021 while recording their duet Flames.
Announcing her split from Whibley in a 2009 blog post, the songstress wrote, 'We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship.
'I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know, and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.'
Lavigne dated Caitlyn Jenner's son Brody Jenner, 43, from 2010 - 2012, and when they split, a source told Us Weekly, 'It was mutual, but Brody really broke up with her.
'He told her he was tired of always being her plus-one, and always going on tour with her.'

Two years after splitting from her second husband, Lavigne was romantically linked to music producer J.R. Rotem.
Rotem sparked dating rumors in 2017 when he shared a cozy Instagram snap with the star, calling her his 'bae.'
A source told E! News at the time: 'J.R. is a producer she's been working with. He's respected in the industry. Lately, they've started hanging out socially and there's definitely chemistry there. They're both so passionate about music.'
The pair were also seen on several dinner dates, but split the following year.
