He said in an interview in June 2019, “I got engaged, married, and divorced in 15 months in Hollywood, so, you know what I’m saying? We’re out here putting rings on it! That’s what our generation does, we put a ring on it, you know what I’m saying? If you do any business together, get your paperwork right.”
As for Lavigne, the Grammy-nominated singer married musician Deryck Whibley in 2006 and split after three years together. She went on to date ‘The Hills’ star Brody Jenner from 2010 to 2012 before her marriage to Nickleback singer Chad Kroeger. She and the Photograph singer tied the knot in July 2013 in France, separating two years later.
US Weekly broke the news of their split a month prior, with a source saying, “It’s over. He has been going around, telling people that they are divorcing.”
In February 2019, Lavigne called Kroeger “family,” gushing, “We’re actually really close, because that was a more recent relationship. He was with me through a lot and is a really protective person in my life.”
Lavigne most recently dated billionaire Phillip Sarofim for a year before splitting in November 2019.
