Avril Lavigne has reportedly ended her engagement to Mod Sun.
Mod, real name Derek Ryan Smith, popped the question last April when the pair were visiting Paris.
The songwriter is said to be ‘blindsided’ by 38-year-old Avril’s decision to end their relationship. Mod, 35, met Avril in 2020.
The musicians allegedly faced issues over the last few months and called it quits on more than one occasion before Complicated crooner Avril reportedly called time on their romance once and for all.
Addressing split rumours, first reported on this week by TMZ, Mod’s reps told Page Six on Tuesday: ‘They were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour so if anything has changed that’s news to him.’
They also noted Mod will continue his tour, adding: ‘The show will happen tonight and tomorrow and for the rest of the tour.’

Musician and producer Mod proposed to the Sk8er Boi legend with a romantic gesture while the pair were on holiday together in Paris, France, ten months ago.
Taking to social media at the time, a smitten Mod wrote: ‘The day we met I knew you were the one. Together forever til our days are done.
‘I had a dream where I proposed in pairs.I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes. You’re too beautiful for my words to describe.
‘I grabbed your hand + took one last breath… I said “will you marry me?” + she said “yes”.’
At the end of the sweet poem, Mod wrote simply: ‘I love you Avril.’
Photographs of the proposal show Mod, in a leather jacket and trousers, dropping to one knee as Avril, also dressed in all-black, beams down at him with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.
