Frances Bean Cobain Secretly Marries Without Telling Mom Courtney Love

“Courtney loves Isaiah, but was devastated to learn that Frances had gotten married without her knowing."

Surprise! Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean is reportedly now married. The 23-year-old secretly tied the knot with her boyfriend of five years, Isaiah Silva, E! Online reports. However, the quiet ceremony was kept so under wraps that Frances’ mother didn’t even know about it.

“Courtney loves Isaiah, but was devastated to learn that Frances had gotten married without her knowing,” a source told E! Online.

According to the insider, Love is “very happy” for the couple, but was sad she wasn’t at the ceremony. “Frances called her after but understands why she did it,” the source said. “Frances needs a man in her life and has always craved stability. She's found it in Isaiah.”

While it’s publically known that the mother and daughter’s relationship has not always been the best, the insider reassured: “This has not caused a rift between mom and daughter. Courtney was sad, but she's cool and Isaiah is a great son-in-law.”

Last month, Love proved her relationship with her daughter has never been better when she posted two birthday tributes to the 23-year-old on Instagram. The images showed a family portrait of Love, Cobain and baby Frances.

My greatest love and our precious Bean #missyou #memories

Frances was just 20 months old when her father, Nirvana frontman Cobain, died in 1994. Now all grown up and married, Frances works as a visual artist and is an executive producer on a documentary called “Cobain: Montage of Heck,” which tells the story of her father's life.

While it’s clear Frances inherited her parents’ good looks, it’s interesting to note that her husband Silva looks eerily like her late father. After it was announced that the two secretly wed, this photo of the newlyweds surfaced on Tumblr showing the resemblance.

And the similarities don’t stop there. Silva is also a musician and is the frontman of American rock band The Eeries.
