The 51-year-old rocker took to the social networking site to call Nirvana frontman Kurt, who committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27, "the greatest true love I've ever experienced in my life" and she also praised their "beautiful and gifted daughter" Frances Bean Cobain, 23.

Courtney posted a picture of all three together when Frances was a baby, with the youngster dressed up in a Santa outfit.

She captioned the sweet family picture: "That Christmas moment in everyones lives that you never forget, the one that makes you feel on top of the world, where the greatest gifts are the loved ones you shared that moment with. Well this is mine, I'm grateful to have ever experienced that moment. Merry Christmas Kurt, the greatest true love I've ever experienced in my life. You gave me the gift that makes life worth living, our incredibly talented, loving, beautiful and gifted daughter Frances Bean Cobain. Merry Christmas Bean, love mom and dad (sic)."

Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Courtney is dating Nicholas Jarecki, 36, the writer and director of the Richard Gere movie 'Arbitrage' and the brother of Eugene Jarecki, who directed 'Freakonomics'.

A source said: "Courtney and Nick were introduced through mutual friends three months ago and immediately hit it off. They have been dating."

And an insider claimed Nick isn't bothered by the sizeable age gap between the pair.

The source told the New York Post newspaper: "Nick's really into her. He thinks she is fun and unique. The age difference isn't an issue at all."
