Avril Lavigne

Getting engaged is romantic, but you know what's even more romantic? Getting engaged in Paris. Avril Lavigne can tell you this from personal experience.

In the next series of photos, Avril shows off her heart-shaped diamond ring as Mod Sun grins. Avril and Mod Sun have been dating since around February of 2021. She was previously married to fellow Canadian musician Sum-41‘s Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2009, when Avril filed for divorce.

The Canadian singer announced Thursday that she's engaged to fellow performer Mod Sun, who proposed to Lavigne in Paris at the end of March.

And it has Mod + Avril on the inside,” Lavigne told People. I said ‘will you marry me?’ + she said ‘yes,'" Mod Sun wrote, adding, “I love you Avril” and a heart emoji. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes. I had a dream where I proposed in Paris. I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. In the pop rocker's first pic, Mod Sun is seen down on one knee in front of Lavigne as the Eiffel Tower stands behind them.

Life works in mysterious ways but without this album I wouldn’t have met my soulmate," Mod Sun wrote on Instagram to celebrate the album's release. I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it," Mod Sun wrote on Instagram. "The day we met I knew you were the one.

Avril Lavigne and her boyfriend, musician Mod Sun, have confirmed that they're officially engaged after Lavigne was spotted wearing an engagement ring ...

The couple confirmed their engagement on Instagram alongside photos of Mod Sun popping the question near the Eiffel Tower with a heart-shaped diamond ring — followed by some live violin music on the Seine. According to Lavigne’s post, they got engaged at the end of March — a week before hitting the Grammys red carpet together in appropriately “punk” attire. Lavigne first spoke about the relationship last April, saying that they had an “immediate connection in the studio.” Avril Lavigne and her boyfriend, musician Mod Sun, have confirmed that they’re officially engaged after Lavigne was spotted wearing a large diamond ring this week.

Avril Lavigne has found her one true sk8er boi: The pop-punk songstress is engaged to Mod Sun after a year of dating.

Her musician beau popped the question with a custom heart-shaped ring with the words "Hi icon" — the first words he uttered to Lavigne — engraved on it. "We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne, and roses. "It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for," Lavigne said.

The pop-punk princess has found her prince, and announced the news on Instagram after almost two weeks of being engaged.

“I love you Avril.” Mod Sun declared his love for the Sk8er Boi singer with a neck tattoo of her name in February 2021. I said ‘will you marry me?’ + she said ‘yes,’” he wrote. “The day we met I knew you were the one. I had a dream where I proposed in Paris. I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes.

Avril Lavigne is engaged to her boyfriend Mod Sun following a romantic Paris proposal last month as she declared she'll love him forever.

Taking to Instagram the Sk8ter Boi singer announced the news alongside a selection of stunning snaps showing the ecstatic couple the day Mod Sun popped the question. Avril Lavigne has been married previously to singers Deryck Whibley and Nickelback star Chad Kroeger. She and Mod are said to have started dating early last year and the two have collaborated on Avril’s latest album, Love Sux. And she wasn’t the only one to share their engagement news in a super sweet way. But it was the caption that revealed the most exciting news of all as not only did the Canadian star share her engagement with the world, but it was revealed that Avril Lavigne got engaged over a week ago.

Remember when Avril Lavigne was “replaced” by a doppelgänger named Melissa?

But the effect of the theory is that “Melissa” has turned into shorthand for whenever Lavigne isn’t the person we so badly want her to be. This is where the motivation for the conspiracy theory starts to become more clear to me: I want to believe so badly that Lavigne would never have made “Hello Kitty.” Like the author of “Avril Esta Muerto,” and the people who perpetuated the conspiracy theory, I desperately want her to remain the person who would not make this song. “Melissa” becomes shorthand for everything the singer has become that doesn’t match our conception of her. I remember defending the spelling of “Sk8er” and “boi” to my dad. “I've never seen a singer change her style of singing, writing, dressing and behaving as much as Avril Lavigne did, and everyone was talking about it at the time. Lavigne was wildly successful at the time, so instead of announce her death, a doppelgänger named Melissa Vandella was hired, who is responsible for all of Lavigne’s work after Let Go. The blog cites evidence like the disappearance of moles and skin blemishes, changes in handwriting, a change in Avril’s nose and personal style (Avril wears Dickies; Melissa wears dresses) and a promotional photoshoot where Lavigne has the name “Melissa” written on her hand. Lavigne was never caught with a bong or issued a DUI; she never did anything that changed her perception in such a drastic way. Lavigne’s original image is so precious to us, that rather than accept that she’s changed, the conspiracy theory conveniently kills her. In the video, she wears a skirt covered in fabric cupcakes, yells “Kawaii!” and “Hello Kitty!” at strange intervals and eats sushi while a dubstep beat drops. I left my friends in the kitchen and sat alone on the couch while I read every word of the blog where the theory originated until someone took my phone away from me. (Drama, but true!) The theory is that Lavigne died by suicide in 2003 after a deep depression stemming from the death of her grandfather. For most people, learning about the Avril Lavigne replacement conspiracy theory isn’t a “where were you when?” moment, like where were you the night of the 2016 election, or the day Brittany Murphy died (just me?). But I’ll never forget standing in the kitchen of my friend’s duplex on a winter night, when I first heard that Lavigne had died and was replaced by a doppelgänger named Melissa. It was 2015, a good 10 years after I’d stopped listening to her music regularly.

Eleven days after the proposal, Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun posted the engagement announcement to their individual Instagram accounts on April 7.

Lavigne posted eight photos, the first featuring Mod Sun getting down on one knee, the rest consisting of selfies, shots of Lavigne showing off the ring (ahem, manicure), and even a photo of his neck tattoo of her name. The ring, though, features a large diamond with smaller ones lining the band. The OG pop-punk princess has finally gotten her happy ending, and we're screaming internally.

Avril Lavigne's engagement ring from Mod Sun was made by XIV Karats' Caryn Alpert, who happens to be the "Complicated" singer's best friend.

“He knew that he really wanted to do something with hearts and have the most dazzling, biggest, flawless heart-shaped ring for her,” she continues — adding that Mod and Lavigne separately purchased heart-shaped pavé rings from her before they met, and have worn them every day since. The singer announced on Thursday that she is engaged to boyfriend Mod Sun — and shared details about the heart-shaped diamond ring he proposed with while in Paris. Mod Sun tapped XIV Karats designer Caryn Alpert — who happens to be BFFs with Lavigne, designs virtually all her jewels and even created her two previous engagement rings — for the special sparkler.

While Avril Lavigne was recording her current album, Love Sux, she fell in love with one of her collaborators, Mod Sun. On Thursday, she revealed that ...

She got engaged that August to Nickelback‘s Chad Kroeger; they married and then split in 2015. While Avril noted that her comment is “kind of dark,” she knows what she’s talking about: She’s been married and divorced twice and has had several other long-term relationships. Speaking to ABC Audio a few weeks before she got engaged, Avril laughed, “I definitely feel that way, still!
