Lavigne was called “Anti-Britney” for her image, but she fought back. She wanted fans to discuss her music, not her clothes.

Two marriages and a terrible illness

At 22, Avril got married for the first time. Her chosen one was Sum 41 vocalist Derick Whibley, who proposed to the “princess of pop-punk” in Venice.

Avril Lavigne first got married when she was 22 years old.

During the wedding, Lavigne turned into a real princess: she put on a feminine dress from Vera Wang and walked down the altar to the Mendelssohn march.

Her first marriage lasted just over three years

True, the fairy tale ended immediately after the wedding, when it turned out that Derik was taking drugs. The singer could not help her husband get rid of the bad habit and three years later they divorced.

In 2013, she remarried. This time her husband was Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of the band Nickelback. But even here happiness did not work out - in 2015, the celebrities also divorced.

The second marriage was also unsuccessful

That same year, Avril said she was able to recover from Lyme disease, which is spread by ticks. Oh, how long she struggled with the disease. Fortunately, she managed to defeat the disease, despite the disappointing forecasts of doctors.
