Riley and Frances’ October 2023 wedding was officiated by R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, TMZ reported at the time. The outlet noted that Stipe is Frances’ godfather, while her godmother is none other than Drew Barrymore.
The marriage is Frances’ second, as she was previously married to singer Isaiah Silva, although the pair split in February 2016, less than two years after tying the knot. Frances officially filed for divorce one month later; the couple’s divorce was finally settled in May 2018.
Frances was born on August 18, 1992 to musicians Kurt and Love. Nirvana lead singer Kurt died by suicide less than two years later, on April 5, 1994, at the age of 27.
“30 years ago my dad’s life ended,” Frances wrote via Instagram on Friday, April 5, to pay tribute to her late father. She shared several photos of the singer, including snaps of Kurt holding her as a child.
“The 2nd & 3rd photo capture the last time we were together while he was still alive,” she explained.
Frances continued, “His mom Wendy would often press my hands to her cheeks & say, with a lulling sadness, ‘you have his hands.’”
