Frances Bean Cobain (born August 18, 1992) is an American visual artist and model, and the only child of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love.
Frances Cobain was born on August 18, 1992 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. Her namesake is often mistaken to be after Frances Farmer, a troubled Seattle actress but Cobain was named after Frances McKee, the guitarist for the Scottish indie pop duo The Vaselines.. Her middle name, Bean, was chosen because her father thought she looked like a kidney bean on the ultrasound.
Before Cobain's birth, there were rumors suggesting that her mother used heroin during the pregnancy. This scandal intensified when Vanity Fair published Lynn Hirschberg's article "Strange Love" that alleged Love admitted to using heroin even after learning of her pregnancy. Along with Kurt, Courtney maintained that Vanity Fair took her words out of context. Eventually, child welfare services launched an investigation questioning their parenting abilities. The investigation was eventually dismissed, but not without a significant amount of legal wrangling and Cobain being removed from her parents' custody for a short time, beginning when she was two weeks old. After a lengthy legal battle, Frances was returned to her parents full custody. Kurt and Courtney would employed several nannies over the next two years to help them care for her. According to Michael Azerrad in Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana, this incident inspired Kurt Cobain to write the song "Rape Me".
