Pop-punk star Avril Lavigne has surprised fans by announcing the birth of her first child, a baby girl. The 42-year-old singer posted three black-and-white photos on Instagram on Friday, including one of her cradling the newborn. She did not share the baby's name or reveal the father's identity. Lavigne had kept the pregnancy completely private, and fans quickly flooded her older posts with excited congratulations.
