Childhood
Frances Bean Cobain was born into the family of grunge idol Kurt Cobain and the bright blonde Courtney Michelle Harrison, whom the whole world knows as Courtney Love, the punk singer and star of the film “The People vs. Larry Flynt.”
Frances was born shortly after Kurt and Courtney's wedding, in Los Angeles, on August 18, 1992. The girl received her first name in honor of the vocalist of the noise band The Vaselines, whose cover versions of whose songs Kurt is so famous for, and also in honor of Frances Farmer, whom both musicians idolized. According to the recollections of Courtney, family friends and the girl’s godparents - Michael Stipe, artist and frontman of REM, and actress Drew Barrymore - Kurt Cobain adored his daughter. He personally painted the walls of her bedroom with strange winged candies, and did not let her off his hands during walks. Despite the love that Kurt undoubtedly felt for his daughter, she never managed to recognize her father.

Just before Frances turned two, her father's body was discovered in his home three days after he died from a gunshot wound. According to the official version, the musician committed suicide, but some biographers insist on the version of murder, based on the fact that the inspection of the scene of the incident was carried out formally, and such an amount of heroin was found in the star’s blood that he could have died before he shot himself in the head. head.
The house where Kurt Cobain died
Until 2009, Frances’ guardian was Courtney, who never connected her life with another man, but seemed to do everything not to arouse the sympathy of society, some of which blamed her for the death of the Nirvana leader.
Frances attended school in Seattle. In 2009, she filed a lawsuit in which she asked to deprive her mother of custody rights. The girl also stated that Courtney, who periodically struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, beat her.

Despite the fact that the fact of assault was not proven, the court defended the interests and rights of Frances and forbade the notorious actress from approaching her daughter.
In 2010, Frances turned 18 and became a millionaire heiress. Father Francis holds the all-time record for actors and musicians who earned more after death than they earned during their lifetime.

The public was delighted with the girl’s appearance. Indeed, Frances, who never sought to be the center of attention, to shine on the red carpet and pose for journalists, appeared before the audience as a real beauty - plump lips, large bright eyes, a magnificent figure. Apparently, Frances decided to open a new page in her life and come out of the shadows.
If you carefully look at the photographs of Kurt Cobain's daughter, which the girl posts on her official page on the social network Instagram, you can judge that Frances. As is typical for many attractive girls, she tries not to focus attention on her appearance. The musician's heiress prefers loose clothes, jeans and sweaters. But in vain!

However, fashion business sharks have long noticed Frances. Judging by the photos that the girl posted on her account, this is not her first shoot with Marc Jacobs. This means that Frances will continue to be invited to advertise famous brands.

The fact is that shortly before the birth of Frances, Courtney Love gave an interview in which she admitted that she had been taking heroin for a short time, not yet knowing that she was pregnant. The journalist who spoke with her presented it as if Courtney had been dabbling in drugs throughout her pregnancy, and admitted that she was very “concerned” about this circumstance.

Love categorically denied this, but the journalist assured that she had relevant records. However, Courtney and Kurt managed to defend their right to raise their daughter independently. However, they were required to undergo regular drug tests.

Finding myself
Having secured herself from maternal control, the heiress to a million-dollar fortune set out in search of herself. At Northridge School, the girl was interested in theater, then journalism, but never decided on her choice of profession. Frances worked as an intern at Rolling Stone for several months in 2008, but became disillusioned with journalism and decided not to pursue a career in this field. Painting became the rock star's daughter's next hobby, but critics' interest in her paintings, which were exhibited in 2010, quickly faded. According to art critics, Frances definitely has potential and abilities, and if she continued to paint, she could become an artist.
Personal life
Frances's first lover was Logan Lerman, then he became Isaiah Silva, a musician whose appearance and style were compared by many to the image of Kurt Cobain.

The young people got married in 2014, and three years later they “delighted” their fans with a high-profile divorce process, during which Frances was forced to agree to pay her ex-husband a substantial amount.
The scandal that erupted around Kurt's guitar, which Silva said his wife gave him in the first year of their marriage, did not subside for more than two years. Courtney Love even intervened in the matter, and found the strength to forgive her daughter for the lawsuit, but in 2021, Silva managed to prove the fact of donation, and he became the legal owner of the iconic guitar.
Since 2021, Frances officially dated Matthew Cook, one of three brothers and the frontman of the Los Angeles rock noise band The Ceremonies, but at the end of 2021 it became known about their separation.

The media recorded changes in Frances' appearance and more than once hinted at her heredity, expecting that the girl would become addicted to drugs.
Despite the fact that alcohol and drugs were present in Frances’ life for several years, she was able to escape addiction and in 2021 she published a photo on her Instagram, under which she admitted that this was her second birthday, spent in absolute sobriety. Having begun her collaboration with Marc Jacobs in 2021, Frances, as expected, did not stay in the modeling business. The new project of the rock star heiress is the release of a music album dedicated to her father, but so far there is no official information about when the record will be released, or whether it will be released at all.
Francis is the continuer of the family tradition.
Information about the girl’s recording of the album was circulated by the media after Frances sang an excerpt of a touching song in April 2018 and posted it on Instagram. “I think I remember you, I think I saw you when I was little,” Frances sang sincerely and very sadly, but she refused to play along with herself on the guitar because she did not want to ruin her fresh manicure. Uznayvse.ru notes: in the fall of 2018, Frances published another recording, this time with a guitar, which subscribers regarded as confirmation of the firmness of her intention to start a musical career.
Frances Bean Cobain - daughter of Kurt Cobain
Frances Bean Cobain was born on August 18, 1992 in Los Angeles, California. Parents, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, named the girl Frances, in honor of the actress and singer (lead singer of The Vaselines) Frances McKee. Kurt Cobain was madly in love with the baby and devoted all his free time to her. Unfortunately, when Frances was not yet two years old, Kurt died and the girl had practically no memories of her father. But the blood of Kurt Cobain flows in her veins, and that says a lot!
After the tragic death of her father, it was she, little Frances Bean Cobain, who was entrusted with fulfilling the last will of the late Kurt, scattering his ashes over a stream in Olympia, a place to which Cobain was very attached. The girl's mother, Courtney Love, was not distinguished by a quiet domestic character, but the love of a bright, wild life was always in her blood. A harmful addiction to alcohol and drugs caused Courtney Love to be repeatedly deprived of parental rights. Frances recalls that as a child she spent much more time at her grandmother’s house than with her own mother, who always had more important things to do than communicate with her own daughter.
It is not surprising that Frances Bean Cobain inherited her eccentricity and difficult character from her parents. The constant attention of reporters spoiled the girl, and the echoes of her father’s fame and the constant scandals plaguing her mother shaped the girl’s star habits long before her first attempts to conquer show business. In fact, Frances had virtually no choice about who to become in life. The interest of glossy magazines and television in the pretty daughter of famous parents was always present and it was only a matter of time.
Already at the age of 13, Frances’s first interviews began to appear in magazines, which were more about the legacy of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, but the girl managed to take part in several glamorous fashion shows and pose for fashionable teen magazines.
Like her parents, Frances was constantly searching for herself. Her photo shoots in glamorous pink clothes interspersed with scandalous photographs as a punk rocker. The girl turned out to be comprehensively gifted and her studies did not cause her problems. Frances tried herself as a singer in several groups, worked for the music publication Rolling Stone, and was even invited to play the lead role in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but declined, citing her workload with her studies.
The memory of her father haunts Frances, and leaves a serious imprint on the life and fate of the girl. Although she herself has repeatedly stated that she is offended by her father and cannot forgive him for leaving them so early, Frances nevertheless takes an active part in perpetuating the memory of Kurt Cobain. The girl is very concerned about the many speculations and gossip that were born after the death of her father, and this was one of the reasons why she agreed to become the producer of the film about her father, “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck”. The girl makes every effort to reveal the character of her great father and protect his image from unscrupulous journalists chasing sensations.
In September 2015, Frances married singer Isaiah Silva (playing in the band The Eeries), whom she had previously dated for more than 5 years. However, their marriage was short-lived, and the couple separated a few months short of two years of marriage. As a result, Frances Bean Cobain (who initiated the divorce) received her freedom, and her ex-husband, and a great admirer of the talent of the girl’s father, Isaiah Silva, won compensation in the amount of monthly 12 thousand dollars (allegedly for the education of his daughter from his first marriage).
Currently, Frances has a new boyfriend - Matthew R. Cook, vocalist and guitarist of the band The Ceremonies. Frances herself has achieved popularity as an artist and exhibits in famous galleries in Los Angeles. However, at the moment, the girl has plunged headlong into the modeling business, in particular, she has become the new face of the Marc Jacobs brand, but when asked about her new hobby, she answers that this is just another test of herself and there is nothing serious about it. “Fortunately,” Frances says with a smile, “I have other skills than just standing, posing and looking cute.”
— February 20, 2017. Happy Birthday. “Today would have been your fiftieth birthday. You are loved and missed. Thank you for giving me life. Forever your daughter, Frances Bean Cobain."
