Since rising to fame as a Canadian pop-punk artist over two decades ago, Avril Lavigne has dated an interesting roster of men. It begins with her guitarist, Jesse Colburn in 2002 (potentially the inspiration for "Sk8r Boi?). After him comes Deryck Whibley of Sum 41. As E! reports, she and Brody Jenner tattooed each other's name in 2010 but eventually broke up in early 2012. After that, she met her first husband, Chad Kroeger.

The Nickleback frontman and his blonde beauty tied the knot on Canada day in July 2013, but their marriage lasted only two years before Lavigne shared news of their breakup via Instagram. Phillip Sarofin, a billionaire's son, and Pete Jonas of Jagwar Twin were who the "Girlfriend" hitmaker dated next, but neither relationship lasted long. In 2020 she met Mod Sun while making music, and after a whirlwind romance, the two were engaged by March 2022.

After they shared the big news, the creative couple seemed to be going strong. However, in the final week of February, Lavigne was seen snuggling up to "Rack City" artist Tyga for a hug outside NOBU. At the time, the two left the restaurant in the same vehicle, and have been spotted out together regularly since. As the gossip began to circulate online, many expressed concern for Mod Sun, pondering the status of his engagement. Hours later, reports revealed that the pair called things off.

"[They've] been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple," a source said at the time. Additionally, they made it known that "Avril and Tyga are genuinely friends and nothing more. There was absolutely no third party involved in the split," as speculation began brewing online. Even if they are strictly platonic, the increasing frequency of the two artist's time together has social media expecting a relationship confirmation from them soon.

Fashion Week Fun

Late last week, the rumoured lovers made headlines for attending a Paris Fashion Week runway show together. A few days later, paparazzi cameras caught them showing up at Leonardo DiCaprio's party in the city of love. On Sunday (March 5), they were at Ottolinger's presentation, where Lavigne donned a grey miniskirt and an oversized white shirt.

For his part, the father of one wore a matching jacket and trousers in a cool grey shade, using sunglasses to shield his eyes. There wasn't noticeable PDA between the pair at any show, though we're eager to see if they become more friendly at future events.
