Riley Hawk and Frances Bean Cobain have been enjoying a ‘quiet’ life since they welcomed their first child together last year.
On Wednesday, Riley, the son of Tony Hawk and a professional skateboarder himself, opened up about their first year of parenthood and their family life together with their famous in-laws.
Riley, 32, and Frances — the daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain — got married in October 2023 and welcomed their first child together, son Ronin, in September 2024.
‘We just do our own thing,’ Riley, a first-time dad, told People about the legacy each of their family carries.
This comes after Tony Hawk left fans in tears with an emotional reflection about the late Nirvana frontman never meeting their shared grandson.
‘We don’t really think too much about it, honestly, other than the fact that we do stuff like this with a video game, or whatever it may be, or something regarding her side of the family,’ he continued as he mentioned his appearance in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4.

He added: ‘But other than that, we’re just a very quiet stay-at-home family. We just hang out.’
Riley also noted that their son is ‘learning every day’ as they enjoy ‘growing as a family.’
Riley also said that his father helps out a lot and is enjoying being a first-time grandpa.
‘My dad helps a lot and it’s really cool that we get to all hang out together,’ he said.
‘It’s just a cool thing for him to get to hang out with his grandson a lot. That’s kind of where we’re at, just taking it day by day.’
He also said that being a first-time father himself is ‘really cool’ and has brought him and his own dad even closer.
‘I’m just super grateful that my ad gave me the freedom to do certain things that I wanted to, like skateboarding or whatever it may be,’ he continued.
‘And that’s all I can hope to do for my son, is just give him the opportunity if something interests them or they fall in love with a certain sport or hobby,’ he said. ‘I feel like, as a parent, [that’s] all you can hope to do.’

This comes after the skateboarding legend Tony left fans feeling emotional as he shared a sentimental reflection about the fact late musician Kurt Cobain will never get to meet their shared grandson.
Last September saw the iconic skateboarder, 56, become a first-time grandpa after his son Riley and his wife Frances welcomed their baby boy Ronin into the world.
At the time, Kurt’s daughter — whom the Nirvana frontman shared with Courtney Love before his death in 1994 — dropped the surprise update via Instagram and wrote: ‘9.17.2024 Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk. Welcome to the world most beautiful son. We love you more than anything.’
Months later, Tony took time to share his grief over the loss of family moments they would never get to share.
Taking to his Instagram story, he posted a picture of a ticket stub from a Nirvana concert he attended back in October 1991, in Houston, Texas.
Reflecting on the night, he wrote: ‘Went straight from a S.U.A.S. event at Houston Skatepark to this concert in 1991.
‘It was as transformative as live music can possibly be; we all experienced something rare and powerful that night. The world would never be the same.’
He then noted how much it hurt to no longer have Kurt in the world as he continued: ‘I wish Kurt were here so he could see the incredible woman his daughter has become, meet her devoted, caring husband, and hold our wondrous grandchild.’
