Frances Bean Cobain marries without telling mum Courtney Love


September 28, 2015

Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain, has secretly tied the knot. The 23-year-old kept her nuptials to her boyfriend of five years Isaiah Silva so low-key, even her mum missed out on an invite.

A source told E! News that Frances had been planning her wedding for over a year, with the intimate ceremony including 13-15 guests, reportedly leaving Courtney "devastated" that she wasn't of them.
