Francis Cobain is the only daughter of the legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and his equally popular wife, Courtney Love. The girl is an actress, artist, singer, journalist and model of famous world brands.
early years
Francis was born on August 18, 1992 in the city of Los Angeles, California. Even before her birth, the girl came under the scrutiny of journalists around the world. The fact is that there were rumors that Roots Love had been using heroin throughout her pregnancy. She gave an interview about this to one publication, but subsequently denied this information, saying that her words were pulled out of the general context.
Francis's father, Kurt Cobain, had the same problems, whom the girl last saw when she was two years old at the clinic, where he was undergoing rehabilitation from drug addiction. In the hospital, father played with his daughter, humming songs to her. A few days later, the musician was found shot dead in his own house. The official version is considered suicide, even a suicide note was found . However, witnesses were present in the case who pointed to a different scenario, so that everything was still ambiguous.
As a child, Francis Cobain spent a lot of time with grandparents, as Courtney Love constantly had drug problems and regularly received drug treatment in clinics for several weeks. The girl has a "star" godmother - actress Drew Barrymore.
From an early age, Francis was interested in art, acting, the profession of a photographer and dreamed of getting into show business.
Adolescence
When Francis was 17 years old, her mother was stripped of custody, which passed to her aunt and grandmother from her father. In the official case there was even information about domestic violence, as indicated by medical reports of doctors. In 2010, it became known that Cobain inherited 37 percent of his legendary father’s fortune, as well as the right to use and publish his name and photos. After some time, the girl bought her own villa in West Hollywood worth almost two million dollars, and also invested in her education and development.
Carier start
Francis Cobain, whose biography attracted many admirers of her father's creativity, began her journey as a model of various glossy publications. In one of the magazines, while still a teenager, she starred in Kurt's famous pajamas, in which he often appeared in front of fans. Now the girl works with famous photographers in different styles and directions and in every possible way demonstrates her many tattoos.
Frances Cobain began to seriously engage in painting and even opened her own exhibition in the gallery of Los Angeles. She also makes music and plans to release her own solo album.
Other activities
Among other things, the girl worked as a journalist and full-time photographer of famous publications, and also tried herself as an actress. She was even offered the lead role in Tim Burton’s famous film “Alice in Wonderland,” but Francis Cobain refused because she went to college in New York and did not want to break away from school. Subsequently, the role went to Mie Vasikowska.
Private life
To date, there are six official interviews with Francis Cobain. She gave the first to the famous Teen Vogue magazine at the age of 13, telling him about finding her own style, a strong desire to get into the world of show business, and also mentioning stellar parents. In another interview, she speaks negatively of the yellow press, which constantly tells a lie about her mother, Courtney Love. The girl points to all the negative consequences in her life, caused directly by publications in the tabloids. One of the latest detailed comments is a story about her work at the first exhibition, where her own paintings were presented.
Francis Bean Cobain has been dating musician Isaiah Silva since 2010. It is noteworthy that her chosen one - the soloist of the little-known band The Rambles, which creates in the style of alternative rock - looks very much like the girl’s father. In addition to this, Isaiah even dresses in the style of Kurt Cobain, wears long hair and dyes them in the same way as the frontman Nirvana did. The couple became engaged, as evidenced by certain statuses on social networks, but later they returned to the option “in relationships”.
As for the mother, the girl does not communicate with her for many years. Roots Love tried many times to establish her relationship with her daughter, but so far without much success. Maximum communication is rare messages through social networks. Francis has repeatedly stated that she has nothing to talk about with her biological mother, through the fault of an erratic lifestyle of which the girl suffered a lot. So, Courtney’s actions even led to the death of two pets when Francis was still a child.
Now the girl is studying, working and trying to find her calling.
