Kurt Cobain's Daughter Is Dating The Son Of Another 90s Icon

When it comes to romances that forever changed the face of pop culture, perhaps one of the most iconic (and in their own way, iconoclastic) couples of the 1990s is none other than Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain and Hole singer Courtney Love. Though the pair were oft-maligned by the press during their courtship — with Love, specifically, targeted by Nirvana fans and the media following Cobain's death by suicide in 1994 — their relationship has become, in one way or another, mythologized, an entry into the pop-culture pantheon. (For what it's worth, the past few years have seen a reexamination of how misogynist structures played into public perception and the villainization of Love for public entertainment).

Considering how both Cobain and Love became the subjects of nearly constant scrutiny in their heyday — tabloid fodder reminiscent of later musicians like Amy Winehouse, who would also meet a tragic end — it's no surprise that the only child they had together, Francis Bean Cobain (born in 1992), was largely kept out of the spotlight following her fathers death. This remained the case for the majority of her childhood and adolescence, until she began her modeling career in 2006. Since then, she's been an occasional fixture in the news media mill, mostly for her work as an artist and model. But now it looks like she's made headlines again — only this time, it's related to a possible relationship with the child of another 1990s legend.
