Avril’s reps also confirmed that she was the one to end the engagement, though TMZ reported the same day that Mod’s reps were unaware of the major development. “They were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour so if anything has changed that’s news to him,” the reps said. HollywoodLife has reached out to reps for both rockers for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.

And though the “Complicated” songstress was seen hanging out with rapper Tyga at Malibu’s celeb hotspot Nobu restaurant on Sunday, the source added there’s nothing going on. “Avril and Tyga are genuinely friends and nothing more,” the source stated. “There was absolutely no third party involved in the split.”

The “Sk8er Boi” star took to Instagram and shared a black and white pic of Mod on his knee, with the Eiffel Tower gleaming in the background. She sweetly captioned the photo carousel in French. “Yes, I’ll love you forever!” The singer wore a stunning full length black dress for the big moment, and in another pic showed off her sparkling new diamond heart shaped diamond ring.
