According to an exclusive source, Avril Lavigne and Tyga have ended their relationship after a whirlwind four months together. Despite the breakup, the source reveals that they were friends prior to dating and have managed to maintain a friendly relationship.
The "Complicated" singer, aged 38, and the 33-year-old "Rack City" rapper still maintain a mutual respect for each other after their separation, according to an insider. In the end, they both agreed that they are better suited as friends rather than romantic partners. Despite the shift in their relationship, the musicians, who were friends for several years prior to their romance in early 2023, are committed to maintaining a positive connection.
“There are no negative emotions involved, and they intend to maintain their friendship,” states the insider. "Currently, their relationship is purely platonic."
In February, Lavigne ignited rumors of a romantic involvement with Tyga following their dinner outing at Nobu in Los Angeles. It should be noted that during this period, the "Sk8er Boi" singer was still in a public relationship with Mod Sun, whom she had been dating since 2020 and had not officially ended their engagement.
According to an exclusive source, it was revealed that Lavigne and Tyga were simply friends and nothing romantic when they were spotted dining together. The insider emphasized that there was no involvement of a third person in their breakup.
Subsequently, it was confirmed by Us that Lavigne and Mod Sun, aged 36, decided to end their relationship after experiencing a series of on-and-off moments for the past two months.
According to a separate source, Lavigne and Mod Sun discovered that their relationship was not working after getting to know each other more intimately. They ended things quietly after being estranged for months before their breakup became public. Following her broken engagement, Lavigne appeared to find comfort in the company of Tyga. In early March, the pair made headlines when they were spotted together at a Paris party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Avril and Tyga's unexpected romance was confirmed just days later when they shared a passionate kiss at the Mugler X Hunter Schafer Party during their visit to Paris Fashion Week. According to an exclusive source, they never anticipated this romantic connection but are thoroughly enjoying their time together and are intrigued by the potential future of their relationship, given their undeniable chemistry.
Tyga previously had a well-known relationship with Blac Chyna before dating Lavigne. They separated in 2014 after being together for two years. After their breakup, Tyga started a relationship with Kylie Jenner, whom he had first met in 2011. Their on-off relationship became public in 2015 but ultimately ended in 2017.
On the other hand, Lavigne had been married twice before becoming engaged to Mod Sun in March 2022 and later dating Tyga in 2023. She was previously married to Deryck Whibley, the frontman of Sum 41, for four years before their split in 2010. Lavigne then found love with Chad Kroeger, whom she married in 2013. However, their marriage ended two years later.
