Avril Lavigne Confirms Divorce On Blog

Here is the message Avril Lavigne posted on her personal blog about the separation rumor Us Weekly started. Turns out it's true.
----
Deryck and I have been together for 6 and 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. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note.
Thank you to all my family, friends and fans for all your support.
Avril

There you have it. Avril and Deryck plan on staying close, but feel it's best to end their marriage. Do you know a couple that divorced and were able to remain friends? Out of the MANY couples that I know who have split, only one maintains a healthy friendship.

Never really viewed them as a 'united front' anyway, so honestly I'm not surprised.

I think it's sad but I hope they truly can remain friends.

So is that a "I love you, but I'm not IN love with you" kind of deal?

Deryck wrote on Sum41's myspace (they are my fave band so that is why I noticed) something of the same sort. He said they are remaining friends after 6 years and they were the best 6 years of his life. It's sad, but at least they are both being very civil about it and hopefully it works out well for both of them.
She has been in a relationship with Alexander Davis for most of the year .
they are not going to stay friends
please, LESS IS MORE!!
(make up)

This girl needs to become an American citizen already so I can stop being ashamed of her being a Canadian.

My bf and his ex-wife are friends. Not friends like "oh let's go out together" but i've met her and i've been to her house and it's all good.
Avril needs to stop dressing like a 13 year old and woman up a little.
They were both young and want to move forward and grow.. I think it's a good step for her to try and get her career back..

Not surprised at all, thought the split would have happened sooner. They aren't photographed together enough.

No surprise. Most people who marry under the age of 25 get divorced. That's a fact.

Some of my friends who have children have remained on good terms with their exes. It takes a lot of energy and patience--and secret venting, to maintain a solid front for the kids.
I'm not surprised though!
It's really rare--only few celebrities have long-lasting relationship. I think it is the backdrop of their fame and their lifestyle as well. Celebrities are lucky in their career, but unfortunate in love. Was a bit disappointed for the two.

well if they're not in love anymore why stay together. that's good if they ended in good terms. better to have that than all the drama.

She should have been the queen on True Blood...Not saying she can act (can she?) but if they were gonna go the exact opposite of the book anyway at least she is scary.
Nice content indeed! i will visit as often as i can.
cheers
