<h2>Early Life and Origins</h2>
<p><a href="/biography/avril-lavigne">Avril Ramona Lavigne</a> was born on September 27, 1984, in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, to French Canadian parents. Her father named her “Avril,” the French word for April. Raised in a musical household, she began singing at an early age and quickly grew into a confident performer.</p>

<h2>Breakthrough with Arista Records</h2>
<p>By age 15, Avril Lavigne had secured a recording contract with Arista Records, reportedly worth $2 million, committing to the release of two albums. At 17, she debuted with her first studio album, <em>Let Go</em>, in 2002. The album was a commercial success and introduced her pop-punk style to a global audience. The lead single, “Complicated,” became a breakout hit, topping charts worldwide and establishing her as a rising star.</p>

<h2>Chart Success and Global Recognition</h2>
<p>Lavigne’s momentum continued with the release of her second album, <em>Under My Skin</em>, in 2004. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Her third album, <em>The Best Damn Thing</em>, released in 2007, topped charts in multiple countries, including the UK, thanks in part to the lead single “Girlfriend.”</p>

<p>According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Lavigne has sold more than 12 million albums in the United States alone. Globally, her total sales exceed 40 million albums, underscoring her status as one of the top-selling female artists in the pop-rock genre. Her fourth album, <em>Goodbye Lullaby</em>, released in 2011, became her third number-one album in Japan and Australia.</p>

<h2>Fifth Album and Diversification</h2>
<p>Avril Lavigne released her self-titled fifth album in November 2013 through Epic Records. Around this time, she also began exploring projects outside of music. She made her film debut with the movie <em>Fast Food Nation</em> and lent her voice to the animated film <em>Over the Hedge</em>. In 2008, she launched her clothing line, Abbey Dawn, aimed at teen consumers featuring her punk-inspired aesthetic.</p>

<p>She later entered the fragrance industry, releasing her debut perfume <em>Black Star</em> in 2009, followed by <em>Forbidden Rose</em> in 2010 and <em>Wild Rose</em> in 2011. These ventures expanded her brand and solidified her presence across multiple entertainment and lifestyle sectors.</p>

<h2>Marriage to Deryck Whibley</h2>
<p>In 2006, Avril Lavigne married Deryck Whibley, lead vocalist and guitarist of the band Sum 41. The couple had been friends for two years before beginning their relationship in 2003. Deryck credited Avril with supporting his sobriety during their relationship, attributing much of his progress in overcoming substance abuse to her encouragement. Lavigne has stated that she is strongly opposed to drug use and has never used drugs herself.</p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deryck_Whibley">Whibley</a> proposed during a trip to Venice, Italy, and the couple married on July 15, 2006. There were reports that he briefly adopted Lavigne’s surname, becoming Deryck Lavigne Whibley, though this was never officially confirmed. Despite early optimism, the couple faced challenges, reportedly due to differing life goals—<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deryck_Whibley">Whibley</a> wanted to start a family, while Lavigne wished to continue focusing on her career. They filed for divorce in 2009, finalizing the process the following year. While the marriage ended, both parties maintained a respectful relationship and spoke highly of one another post-divorce.</p>

<h2>Relationship with <a href="/biography/chad-kroeger">Chad Kroeger</a></h2>

<p>Lavigne and <a href="/biography/chad-kroeger">Kroeger</a> reportedly followed a set of personal rules to maintain their relationship despite their busy touring schedules. These included avoiding drinking or going to clubs when separated, and ensuring they never spent more than two weeks apart.
