Well, the cat’s finally out of the bag. After months and months of speculation, and even here on EvilBeet where we reported yesterday before official statements had been released from the parties in question, Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley have announced that they are officially split. On her personal website, Avirl left the following statement up for her fans “Deryck and I have been together for 6-an-a-half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship.”
Deryck, who apparently hasn’t updated his social networking since he was last relevant, sent a message to his fans on MySpace, saying the following “The past 6 and a half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It’s sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible. Our decision to part ways is amicable and she holds a special place in my heart and forever will be a great and amazing friend. Thanks to all our family, friends and fans for all the support.”
Aww. Well, that’s a little sad. It was also predictable. The two were married three years ago when Av was only 21 and Deryck was 26. While I think I secretly held out hope that the Canadian-born faux-punk love birds would keep it together, I know everyone saw this day coming.
Wendie got this already, no?

I was gonna say… I thought we already covered this one. That makes this TWO posts more than we needed to see from these people. lol
I actually disagree. Wendie’s story, while it turned out to be correct, was from before the people involved confirmed the break up and made statements. I think their statements add another dimension to the story, so I’m keeping this up. Sorry. More stories are coming!
Ah… fair enough.
Aww, I really wanted these two to make it. They were so cute together XD
:( I adored Avril Lavigne (before she seemed to become a bit of a brat) and Deryck Whibley seems like such a real and sweet person. So sad about this break up.
mee too!!! so sad :(
When do you get married and it will work out?!
sorry..wasn’t done…
when is the right age to get married? if you’re too young at 26 to get married and have it work out then where is the hope!? when youre like 50, old and have to settle for whatvever old broad will take you?
ugh. this bums me out. granted they are celebrities and that might have to do a lot with the split but what about us normal folks, how long should someone wait after dating to get married? and not doing for the novelty of it.
everyone has different situations and different preferences. sometimes people get it in the 2nd or 3rd marriage. other times people are highschool sweethearts and stay together til death do them part. that is why its not good to judge others because no one is perfect and marriage is difficult. but if the two people are level headed enough you can make it work with effort. these two just didnt want to do that anymore.
thanks niknak. you gave me a different perspective on it. :o)
Glad to hear Deryck is getting out of that situation. She has treated him like crap too long. She’s mental.
i could tame her.
that or die trying :p
