Music star Avril Lavigne is a mom, after welcoming her own "Sk8er" girl.

The "Complicated" singer, 42, took to social media Friday to share photos of her first child, a daughter.

Lavigne shared three photos on Instagram, including one of her and her partner’s hands holding their daughter's tiny hand.

Another photo shows Lavigne cradling the baby girl, who is dressed in a leopard-print onesie and matching headband. The third photo features three pairs of checkered Vans sneakers -- two adult-sized and one baby-sized -- lined up on a skateboard.

"Our Mini F--king Princess has arrived 🎀👑🍼🩷," Lavigne captioned the photos.

Lavigne has not yet revealed the baby's name or the identity of the father.

A representative for Lavigne confirmed the news to ABC News on Friday and added, "Avril has been enjoying time with her family while working on her new album and wants to thank the fans for all of their love."

The "Complicated" singer was previously married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010 and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.
