Lavender May Avery Biography

Lavender May Avery became an internet sensation just twenty days after her birth as her parents shared pictures of her on social media on Mother’s Day 2019. Her parents, Jack Avery, and Gabriela Gonzalez, both teenagers, began dating about a year ago in 2018. Despite rumors of them dating, they tried their best to keep the relationship off the radar, and also kept the pregnancy a secret. However, both of them revealed the news of the arrival of baby Lavender May to their fans within three weeks of her birth.

Her father, Jack, posted a lengthy message on his Instagram on Mother's Day with a family picture in which the couple sat in the middle holding their daughter in their arms. In the post, he described how this "most humbling experience of my entire life" changed him for the better. He also thanked the mother of his child, Gabriela, as well as his own mother, Kristin, and Gabriela's mother, Lisa, for their selfless support, and wished them a Happy Mother's Day. He concluded the post by stating, "I’m gonna show you the whole world and protect you forever." The next day, Gabriela also posted another picture of her taken in the hospital bed just after her birth. In the post, she wrote, "The gift of Life. What a beautiful gift God so graciously has given us." She also added that their "Little Earth Day baby" was "ready to save the earth". Also that day, Zach Caspary, Lavender May's Godfather and the photographer who took the pictures, shared another picture from the hospital and wrote, "I am beyond honored to be chosen as The Godfather to this beautiful baby girl!" and added that they were "going to be best friends". The images were circulated numerous times by various news outlets and tabloids in the next few days and made the infant girl a social media star even before she became one month old.

Lavender May Avery was born on April 22, 2019, in Los Angeles, California, United States. Her father, Jack Avery, is the lead singer of the band 'Why Don't We', while her mother, Gabriela Gonzalez, is a social media influencer and a talented surfer. Her mother is from Florida, while her father was born in Burbank, California, and was raised in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. Her pictures were shared with the public for the first time on Mother’s Day. She comes from a family of social media personalities which include her grandmother Kristin Stanford, an Instagram star; as well as aunts Sydnie Avery, a blogger; Ava Stanford and Isla Stanford, both Instagram stars. She also has two uncles, Sam and Alex Gonzalez, and an aunt, Rachel Gonzalez, from her mother's side. Photographer Zach Caspary, who took her pictures, is also her Godfather.

In around 2020, it was reported that Lavender’s parents, Gabriela and Jack, had ended their relationship. While there were several speculations about the reason for their separation, the former couple never spoke explicitly on the subject of their breakup. Nevertheless, they are on friendly terms and share a good equation when it comes to co-parenting their daughter. In January 2022, Gabriela announced her engagement with Cody Clayburn. The couple exchanged marriage vows in February of that year.
