Frances Bean Cobain Married Life With Ex-Husband Isiah Silva

Frances Bean Cobain was married to the lead singer of The Eeries, Isiah Silva. They got married in June 2014 after Frances inherited 37 percent of her father's estate and reportedly net worth of $11.2 million in 2013. Their marriage was so private that even Frances' mother didn't know about it; however, she had posted about it on her Facebook, writing that she was the luckiest woman in the world to get to spend the rest of her life with her best friend.

The couple got divorced in March 2016, and Isiah demanded Frances pay for a $25,000 a month spousal support as he claimed that he left his job during their marriage. Cobain cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce and had shared that she thought her ex-husband was the stable and normal person she always wanted to be with, but it didn't happen as she wanted.

Their divorce was finalized in 2017, but they ultimately reached a property settlement agreement in 2018. Isiah claimed that the 1959 Martin D-18E of Kurt Cobain was given to him by Frances as a gift, so he refused to give up the guitar during their settlement process. However, Frances' mother said that the guitar was a treasured family heirloom, and for him to have that guitar, Silva's baby mama had to evacuate the couple's L.A. house, which would become under Cobain's name, and Silva wouldn't get spousal support and would pay his own legal fees.

Eventually, Silva sold the guitar at auction for $6.01 million to Australian businessman and founder of Rode Microphones, Peter Freedman. The late Kurt Cobain played the 1959 Martin D-18E guitar on the 1993 MTV Unplugged set.
