Avril Lavigne’s Boyfriends and Husbands: Inside the Singer’s Intense Dating Life
Canadian singer and songwriter Avril Lavigne's dating fellow musician Mod Sun. But, he's no longer just Avril Lavigne's boyfriend but now her fiancé after he proposed in March 2022.
Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun announced the fantastic news of their engagement by posting photos on their Instagram pages. The romantic affair took place in the perfect location, Paris, the city of love.
The Montana-born singer/songwriter and rapper hadn't dated Lavigne for that long before taking their relationship to the next level. Rumors that the pair were a couple started in February 2021 after they were spotted together.
They met while writing a song together, and Lavigne revealed that she met Mod Sun when she was single and wanted to stay that way for a while after a serious relationship ended.
However, fate had other plans as the two met just days after that. Lavigne revealed to People in April 2022 that the two "just clicked" when they first met and described it as "fun and exciting."
The "I'm with You" singer also opened up to the publication about their engagement, which she said was romantic. The singer said:
"It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment."
The famous musician seems to have finally found her soulmate after experiencing a few failed relationships. Find out more about the 37-year-old singer's intense dating history.
