Avril Lavigne’s first marriage was to Sum 41 lead vocalist Deryck Whibley. She met him at a bar when she was just 17 and made out with him the same night.

The two officially started dating two years later. In June 2005, Deryck swept the singer off to Venice on a surprise romantic trip and asked her to marry him.
Whibley and Lavigne married in 2006, with Lavigne filing for divorce in 2009. Their divorce was finalized in late 2010.
The first years of their marriage were more content than Avril could have ever imagined.

The Sk8er Girl said in an interview that she was the “best thing that’s ever happened” to her husband and ever shared she’s been helping him stay off of drugs. “We have a really good, strong relationship. There’s a lot of trust,” she said a year into marriage.
In 2014, Deryck announced that he was seeking treatment for his alcoholism. Avril released a statement of support and mentioned that she had visited him in his time of need.
Lavigne married Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger.
Avril’s marriage to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger ended even more amicably than her first marriage.
Funnily enough, the night she met Deryck for the first time was the same night she encountered Chad for the first time as well — which is a coincidence that only fate could have cooked up.
