Avril Lavigne Splits From Husband
Canadian superstar Avril Lavigne has said later-boy to her skater boy.
The Napanee, Ont., songstress confirmed in a statement that she and fellow Canadian rocker, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, have separated.
“Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note,” she said in a statement posted on her website Thursday night.
“I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart.”
Lavigne, 24, is reported to have asked Whibley, whom she married in 2006, to move out of their Los Angeles mansion.
According to Us Weekly magazine, a friend said “she dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on. Divorce papers will be filed any day now.”
The Scarborough, Ont.-born Whibley, is reportedly “crushed” by the demise of the relationship and Lavigne’s demand he leave their $9.5-million US 12,000-square-foot house.
According to reports, Lavigne is apparently so determined to turn the page on the relationship, she has opted to cut tracks from her forthcoming CD. Whibley, 29, is said to have produced eight of the nine songs recorded for the album at the couple’s studio in Tarzana, Calif.
A friend told Us Weekly, “She is going to do new songs that don’t have his mark on them. She wants no trace of him.”
Rumours of a rift between the two grew louder in recent months. In August, Lavigne was spotted partying with friends, with her husband nowhere to be seen.
