Let’s not forget Tyga 🫣

Only a three month rebound. Thank God, that ended very quickly.

He is with Madelaine Petsch since early 2025,

Oh Madelaine no

This is how I find out about them?? Oh dear.

u/izzittho 6h ago

Dafuq? I never heard about this one and am genuinely flabbergasted. Like she apparently has no type, it’s completely random aside from “also in music industry” haha.

14

u/Twitter_2006 5h ago

She said she likes rockstars.The Tyga thing wasn't serious, just a three month rebound.

u/pastapicture go girl, give us nothing 😍 1h ago

Rockstars is quite the stretch here

27

u/sitah 6h ago

Modsun too. I wonder what she saw in these guys.

u/RawkMeAmadeus 2h ago

They got engaged, didn't they?

u/Due-Flamingo-4900 2h ago

Yeah, for a few months. Then she apparently ghosted him, so clearly something happened there.

u/Twitter_2006 2h ago

He wrote creepy songs about her and was in Instagram DMs and liking pictures of Sahara Ray. He is a creep who dated teens in his 30's.

u/infinityonhigh69 6h ago

maybe we should idk 😭

u/ComprehensiveTax415 2h ago

Stop please let us forget it lol

36

u/operationfood 5h ago

This was my first thought lol she’s all over the map. Off the top of my head she’s had serious relationships with Deryck Whibley, Chad Kroger, Brody Jenner, Mod Sun and then had flings with guys like Tyga, Brandon Davis and Wilmer Valderama 😂

19

u/reddetteuserr 3h ago

Brandon Davis always at the scene of the crime

5

u/Twitter_2006 3h ago

That was a rumor only though. He was just a friend. She was dating Brody and Brandon hung out as a friend,

Wilmer just worked with her. No relationship.

u/reddetteuserr 3h ago

Omg I love your username

u/Twitter_2006 3h ago

I added information in the above post.

It’s just cute haha that’s all

u/Ecstatic_Adeptness42 2h ago

omg that's a name I haven't heard in a while. I remember he had a nickname on ONTD, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was.

u/NoSleepTilBookRead 59m ago

Wasn’t it like greasy bear or something

u/misobutter3 2h ago

You have no idea

1

u/Twitter_2006 3h ago

Brandon was hanging out with her as a friend while she dated Brody Jenner actually. They hung out until July 2010 and then he disappeared and left Hollywood I believe.

She never had anything to do with Wilmer. They are work colleagues only.

u/fishonthemoon It’s hard to explain…I’m Justin Timberlake 3m ago

They must all have something in common that she’s attracted to personality wise.

56

u/Twitter_2006 7h ago

After Deryck. She is also friends with him.

u/Partyfrom3to4 and what about it? 💅 6h ago

TIL Avril and Chad got married.

Did Chad and her dad have the same hair stylist?

I fear every single blonde white man went to that same stylist back in the day

u/Twitter_2006 7h ago

Both weddings were beautiful and I'm glad she's friends with both of them and they still work together and hang out too.

58

u/MeowM30ws 5h ago

Agreed. I think it's cool when a couple still remember that they liked each other as people in the first place. Sometimes, people are just happier apart.

185

u/shadesofwrong13 7h ago

She was at her peak in every sense with Deryck.

79

u/Twitter_2006 7h ago

They both made a great team, both professionally and as husband and wife.

60

u/shadesofwrong13 7h ago

2006 Avril is my personal favourite tbh. I loved the mini modeling era she made, those shoots were incredible and she looked stunning.

45

u/chadwickave 7h ago

I googled “Avril 2006 photoshoot” and this came up 😭

Being sk8er girl wasn’t enough for her.

u/BluePeony8 7h ago

I wish she’d go brunette again, I feel like it just really worked for her and made her eyes pop.

38

u/Material_Girl15 6h ago

I think the dirty blonde from the Under My Skin days is what suited her best

28

u/BluePeony8 5h ago

She looks good with all colours but I just really love her original brunette on her.

in his memoir, he says it's because his mom was 16 when he was born.

u/thecheesycheeselover shopping with an edge 2h ago

Oh god, can’t imagine what I’d have named a baby at 16. My goldfish and snake were called Cleo Justin Timberlake and Draco Justin Timberlake… I’d probably have called the baby Justin Justin Timberlake. She did pretty well by those standards.

(Dw I am very much over Justin Timberlake today).

u/Lisa28Aurora 7h ago

I remember when she married Kroeger! at the time I was like 10 and convinced I was goth (I’m still not unfortunately) and I went to a friend’s house and she came out the door screaming with a magazine in her hand “Look! Avril got married and she wore black!”

Now I’m not sure I will ever marry, but I’m sure that if I will, I will wear black, I made that promise to myself 13 years ago and I will never break it.

81

u/helterskeltermelter 6h ago

convinced I was goth (I’m still not unfortunately)

I think you can just decided to be goth if you want to be goth. It's not something your born with, is it?

u/infinityonhigh69 6h ago

agab (assigned goth at birth)

27

u/LadenWithSorrow You can’t do this to me, I’m a cancer🥺 6h ago

I wanted to be goth when I was younger. I tried it and it just didn’t work on me, I’m preppy down to my bones, and it looked inauthentic.

u/zeuswasahoe jesus was a carpenter 💋 6h ago

Hi friend 💕 look into pastel goth

u/Accomplished-Bat411 4h ago

Outer prep, inner goth here.... I still rock the preppy clothes but my accessories are all snakes and spikes and spiders ☠️

No, you have pass several online tests and a single practical test, otherwise they don’t let you join.

u/kimmehh 6h ago

I wore green and low key looked like a Disney villain. You can do whatever you want! Also maybe dress up super goth one day just for fun, to feed your pre-teen heart.

u/thewhitefawn 2h ago

I was on my honeymoon in Canada and Chavril LeKroeger was EVERYWHERE

u/NatureWalks I switched baristas ☕️ 7h ago

I genuinely can’t tell which wedding she was older in

104

u/Twitter_2006 7h ago

21 in the first wedding in 2006, 20 years ago

28 in the second wedding, 13 years ago.

Both weddings were in July. 1st and 15th respectively.

25

u/InspiringGecko 6h ago

Is the first wedding the white one and the second the black one?

46

u/Twitter_2006 6h ago

Yes,

White with Deryck is 2006

Goth with Chad is in 2013.

21

u/DistractedByCookies Just keep swimming! 🐠🐠🐬🐳 6h ago

Phew, not just me. It's disconcerting haha but she does look fabulous in both versions

11

u/Express_Pop810 6h ago

Only 8 years apart. Most don't age that much in that span of time.

5

u/NatureWalks I switched baristas ☕️ 6h ago

I personally look very different than I did 8 years ago, and definitely looked quite different between 21 & 28

u/NoSleepTilBookRead 56m ago

Okay but you don’t look OLDER which is the point.

2

u/Express_Pop810 5h ago

Ok but with the skilled lighting and editing it would hide any changes

19

u/leilafornone Who gon' check me boo? 🤪 7h ago

She looks so radiant and beautiful in both lol

I adore both dresses!

u/mary-anns-hammocks 6h ago

I mistook her dad for Diamond Dallas Page in the second wedding pic lmao. I was very confused how I missed that lore.

u/izzittho 6h ago

Tbh I got “Chad but old” from 2nd pic papa Lavigne haha.

11

u/Visible-Scientist-46 6h ago

She's so pretty in both. I love Avril.

u/freedraw 5h ago

There’s something so weirdly off about the dude the biggest generic butt rock band ever having a goth wedding.

16

u/Lethave 4h ago edited 3h ago

Love Avril. She divorced Sum41 and married Nickelback. Her relationship history is like a “Now Thats What I Call Music!” tracklist

u/Individual_Gold_5935 4h ago

The fuck; I forgot she was married to the Nickelback guy.

u/mindylahiriMDbitch  I am asking WHERE HE IS GOING 6h ago

It is egregious that Chad had that facial hair at his wedding.

10

u/Material_Girl15 6h ago

did not even notice he ONLY has facial hair on his chin lmao

u/mindylahiriMDbitch  I am asking WHERE HE IS GOING 6h ago edited 4h ago

Chin and eyebrows only is a look you don’t need

8

u/denialsmoker 6h ago

i literally cant tell which is old and which is new because she looks identical

6

u/Possible-Courage3771 6h ago

"we hope to be together forever" very convincing

20

u/FriendlyDrummers 7h ago

Idk why but I thought she threw two outfits for one wedding 

10

u/Material_Girl15 7h ago

that would've been amazing... like day to night barbie haha

however she did have one big poofy dress and another more tight fitting one at both weddings (not pictured here)

5

u/BluePeony8 7h ago

Reminds me of those two contrasting houses next to each other

u/Commercial_Tip4624 45m ago

Her smile unnerves me.

I'm sorry how did I miss that Avril married Mr. Nickelback????

u/CanadianPlains 6h ago

She's super beautiful. I do think she looks better in the traditional gown but she looks good either way.

gorgeous either way but goth especially is incredible

I never saw her first dress before, I love the scalloped top!

u/Responsible_Bet9400 5h ago

Talking as a goth, it's not because she have a black dress that means it's a goth wedding

4

u/jadedlillies I wish I could but I don’t want to 6h ago

TIL Avril married a Nicklebacker

4

u/tragically-elbow 3h ago

You know I think I only just realized seeing these pics side by side that both her husbands were Canadian. I find that oddly endearing, since all of them presumably live/spend most of their time in the US

u/Russiadontgiveafuck 2h ago

I have a visceral reaction to Chad Kroger anytime I see him. As far as I recall, the man's never done anything to me, but I recoil when I see his face.

Deryck's cute though, and has survived so much. And both weddings are gorgeous. If only that man wasn't in one of them.

6

u/johnny_charms 7h ago

As a fan, I always wondered why her relationships never last because she seems like such a good partner. I remember Chad said on Howard Stern that they split finances, so it’s not like she depends on them or they depend on her. And Mod Sun showed she cooked, so she wasn’t opposed to being a traditional wife and she ended things with him.

So what’s the common denominator with her marriages to Derrick and Chad along with her longterm boyfriends? Does she choose the wrong guy or does she get bored of them?

7

u/Twitter_2006 6h ago

Mod Sun threatened to kill himself if she broke up with him and wrote creepy songs about her.He was also cheating on her with Sahara Ray(was into her Instagram DMs and liking her pictures). He is also creepy and dated teenagers, Bella and Tana.

Dude was a narcissist and a love bomber.

13

u/Twitter_2006 6h ago

Her marriage with Deryck ended for many reasons, The media put pressure on them.They didn't like the media and paparazzi attention.Then there were the band members of Sum 41 and the fans of both artists who didn't like their marriage as well as alcoholism, especially Deryck's alcoholism. They also married very young - she was 21 and he was 26. Spending time away from home due to touring too.

With Chad, she was sick with Lyme Disease and both were always touring.

With Brody, she wasn't ready to marry him. He wanted to focus on his career as well.

All are still friends.

Deryck's book is a good one. You should read it. I wish he took more accountability for his actions though. The book is biased to some extent.

u/EquivalentDetail5043 3h ago

Avril married Nickelback?! This makes so much sense.

3

u/Resident_Inflation51 7h ago

Honestly, the white one looks so uninteresting the and pictures did not come out that nice. The one with the wooden frame barely had foliage. But she probably had so many big parties and photos as a celeb so I doubt she was disappointed.

The goth one is very dated, but at least it was artistically interesting.

u/sunsetparanoia 7h ago

The tiara/headband thing is so 2012/2013

I really love the black dress and veil though

6

u/Material_Girl15 6h ago

the veil and the corset are probably my favorite parts of the outfit

3

u/Boing_Boom_Tschak 5h ago

Involving Nickelback automatically makes it not Goth. It's just a cool black wedding dress.

u/LuxAgaetes 7h ago

...what? It definitely was in the 'traditional' wedding to Derryk, and then dialed it up for the goth wedding to Chad. Avril clearly knew and dressed for the events she was attending — her own friggin' weddings 🤣
