Avril Lavigne Announces Engagement With Boyfriend Mod Sun; Here's Interesting Detail of Her Diamond Ring!

Avril Lavigne has confirmed her engagement to Mod Sun, a fellow singer. On Thursday, the 37-year-old actress said on Instagram that Mod Sun, 35, had proposed to her on a trip to the city of love, Paris, France.

Avril was seen wearing a glittering rock on her wedding finger earlier in the week, and Mod Sun confirmed the happy news on Thursday (April 7). Avril was spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday wearing a diamond ring, which sparked a flurry of speculations. And now, the one-year-old pair has announced their engagement by releasing a flood of love-filled photos from their trip to Paris.

Avril Lavigne Got Engage for the Third Time

One of the photos shows the singer down on one knee in front of Avril near the Eiffel Tower, while another shows off the stunning heart-shaped engagement ring he gave her.

Mod Sun was in a polyamorous relationship with Tana Mongeau and actress Bella Thorne in 2018, but the trio broke up, and he subsequently started dating the latter. Within 15 months, the punk singer and actress were engaged, married, and divorced.

He resumed his connection with Tana soon after in 2020, and the two began a monogamous relationship that didn't last long and ended before the end of the year. Avril, on the other hand, has been married twice, first to teen buddy Deryck Whibley and then to Nickelback star Chad Kroeger, Mirror reported.

Avril Lavigne's Special Engagement Ring From Mod Sun

The words 'Hi Icon' is inscribed on the engagement ring, according to Avril Lavigne, who told PEOPLE exclusively that those were the first words Mod Sun ever uttered to her. On the inside, it contains Mod + Avril. "He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart-shaped diamond because, on the day we met, we had to match heart-shaped paved rings."

Mod Sun proposed with a heart-shaped diamond ring custom-designed by XIV Karats, a celebrity-favored Beverly Hills hotspot. The stone is placed in a royal setting with little diamond hearts on the ring.

In February 2021, the Grammy-nominated artist ignited dating rumors with Mod Sun, and in September of the same year, they made their red carpet debut as a pair at the MTV Video Music Awards. She says that their bond was instantaneous once they proposed, as per People.
