Avril Lavigne & Deryck Whibley Are Dunzo!
Oh No!! Sad news to pass along today … according to US Weekly magazine, the fabled romance betwixt punk pop princess Avril Lavigne and punk pop punk Deryck Whibley has come to an end. The mag reports that the couple, who have been married for 3 years now, are splitsville after she decided to leave him. The couple are dunzo, y’all!
After three years of marriage, Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley have split, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue. “She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on,” a source tells the new Us Weekly, adding that Lavigne, 25, forced him out of their $9.5 million, 12,00-square-foot estate in L.A.’s Bel Air. “Divorce papers will be filed any day now.” Whibley, 29, “is crushed,” adds another insider. Lavigne’s rep could not be reached; Whibley’s rep had no comment.
I guess she finally decided to say, See ya l8r, Boi. It’s always sad when a couple breaks up but these two kids got married at a very young age. I’m actually surprised that they stayed together for 3 years. Gone are the days when couples who marry young stay committed to each other for the rest of their lives. Divorce is such an easy option these days, I don’t really believe that these young couples understand the full weight of a marriage commitment. Trust me, I’m not saying that people should stay married if they are no longer in love with one another … but I do think that marriage-happy celebs should seriously consider the bounds of matrimony before the say their I Dos. Ah well … another one bites the dust.

I 100% agree with everything you said. Sad but true.

I agree. What’s really sad is that I’m not even the least bit surprised when celebrity marriages end. In some ways I almost expect it. I think celebrities live such different lives than us “regular folks” that it’s very easy to get caught up in the romance and excitement of it all and not really think things through. Still unfortunate, though.

It saddens me how people view marriage in our country. Gay people do not have the right to get married but straight people can get married and divorced in less than a year.

Nobody takes marriage seriously these days. It’s just an excuse for a fancy party.
I was married young and am still married now 10 years later despite a reaching a really low point around the 3rd year. But we believed in marriage and worked through it. A relationship is never going to stay at a high forever, there are highs and lows and you work through the lows. Yes people fall in and out of love but it takes work to stay in love and work to get that love back when you lose it. Divorce is the easy way out but working through it is a million times more rewarding.

@ Jen – CONGRATS on your successful marriage! And I agree with everything you said. * People (celebs & regular ppl included) need to start taking Marriage seriously. Its a major commitment, so if you’re NOT ready then DON’T do it! Its that simple. I hate how the word “I love you” is thrown around with no meaning behind it these days. So sad. * I congratulate all the people who make their marriage work & give it all they’ve got before divorcing. * Give yourselves a pat on the back* ~KUDOS!~

Marriage complicates any relationship. if both parties are not willing to make sacrifices for the marriage to work then this is what happens. Celebrities get spoon fed every single thing in their life so its not a surprise that many of them end up getting divorced.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:16 am
@Jen — You are a testament to what a marriage commitment should be. So happy to hear that you and your spouse are really living happily ever after :)
September 17th, 2009 at 8:25 am
I have been married 9 years, going strong. We have our ups and downs, but we are committed to each other.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:50 am
You are SO right.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:50 am
shocker! i really thought this one was gonna last 4-eva!
that’s right, it’s bullcrap that straight people can make a game of marriage but gay people are treated like second class citizens.

I was married at 19, had dated my husband for a year before that. We celebrated 26 years of marriage this year for a total of 27 years together. Marriage is a committment and it is a journey. Both partners need to make a conscious decision to make the marriage work but if not, then it sadly turns to divorce.

@ Trent and Jen
I agree with so much of what you typed. Often in today’s society people are used to instant gratification so they rush something that should take time.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:29 am
@ Trent & Jen. I could not agree more. Relationships take actual work, its great to know SOME people are trying their best. When you marry somebody, I mean don’t we take vows for life? Speaking of marriage, when are you and David getting engaged Trent!?!?
September 17th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Most don’t realize that love is a choice, not a feeling. You don’t fall out of love….you CHOOSE to love someone despite of the ups and downs that happen in any relationship. That’s how you grow closer as a couple.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:30 am
I don’t think anyone gets married thinking divorce is an option. I don’t know of anyone that gets married thinking “oh, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll just get divorced” — I know I sure didn’t. Divorce is a PAINFUL process, regardless of who is leaving whom. Neither marriage nor divorce are entered into lightly.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Trent – you said that very well. I totally get what you are saying. I’ve always been very intimidated by marriage when most of my girlfriends have always dreamed of it – I feared it. I never saw the weddings and the “fun” part of it. To me it always seemed like it would be serious work and you have to be ready to do that. Now that I’m 30 I think I am closer to being able to do that…but now way in the world that in my early twenties would I have been prepared.

Hasn’t it been reported for some time now her cavorting and partying around with several men and Paris’s old friend?
September 17th, 2009 at 10:51 am
I was once told by a woman who had been married to her husband for 50+ years that the key to a lasting and happy marriage isn’t to always love each other, it’s to not fall out of love at the same time.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Oh Trent. That little pun was amazing. How long have you been saving that one up ? :) You made my Thursday !
September 17th, 2009 at 11:22 am
So much for her Happy Ending. ba dum ch.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:33 am
I agree that divorce is an easy option these days. It takes work to stay together through the ups and downs.
My parents have been married for 37 years and I absolutely admire them.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I wish my parents had split up when I was growing up, they stayed together for the kids but instead they turned my childhood into the unhappiest years of my life with the fighting, the accusation and the plain meaness; as a result I will never ever marry because I’ve seen how unhappy people can get.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:55 am
@ Lyndyloo. Sadly its the same for me, I’m afraid to get married because of how it may turn out(you never fully know anyone-people do change overtime) Its also why I don’t believe a couple should get married JUST because they are having a child together. I know everyone sees that as the ‘right’ thing to do. But what if it doesn’t work out? then you will be raising a child in a hostel environment. But yeah..I never really pictured Deryck and Avril as couple for some reason. It was just more like ‘best buddies’ or not even that just friends. Not only that but after the honey moon and such, Avril didn’t seem to happy with married life. Maybe she just wanted the excuse to wear a wedding gown?

I got married at 19, my husband was 21. We’ve been married for 28 years. There were quite a few years that we did it tough, but we stuck it out and we know now we’ll be together for the rest of our lives. It’s not easy sometimes, but it’s worth it.
September 17th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I don’t think it’s a matter of age so much as it is of maturity and commitment (and knowing what you’re getting yourself into). Couples who married after 30 are just as likely to divorce as couples in their 20s. It depends on a lot of factors.
And sadly, there are a lot of couples who DO go into a marriage thinking “Eh, if it doesn’t work out, I can just get a divorce.” That’s an attitude that doesn’t bode well for the future of a marriage.
@Jen Thanks for writing what you wrote. I am getting married at 22 and knowing you and your husband have been able to stick it out despite the odds is a breath of fresh air and very reassuring.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I just do not believe in marriage. It does not make me any more committed to anyone. I have been in a 6 year relationship since I was 19 and am now 26. I just don’t see what marriage will add. I understand the tax benefits/and if one of us gets sick things could get tough, but I don’t even see how you need to be married for children. It doesn’t necessarily bring “stability.” Children can be taught stability by seeing in front of them 2 people in love that have respect for one another and support one another. I do understand being blessed by God but that can also be done without signing the paper. Marriage adds nothing, in my opinion.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
@ Sarah: I agree! I think it is more of a commitment when you are together because you want to be and not because you have rings and a couple hundred people as witness.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
He was 26 when they got married, I wouldn’t say that’s too young. I think that’s probably when most people start to at least consider it. And since it says he’s crushed, I assume he was willing to put in the work. She’s always struck me as a spoilt brat, so I’m not surprised.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Not shocked. He’s not as crazy as she is. Good luck to both…..
September 17th, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Hmm.. avril is 24 .. not 25… her birthday is comming up soon though.
September 17th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Well put Trent!!
September 18th, 2009 at 12:50 am
Celebs dont really have to think things through… they can afford whatever happens. But if you ask me, marriage should only be when you have a perfect match. If it takes a lot of work and compromising, chances are you don’t belong together.
Hate to say it but he looks like a troll, so this was coming. Never seen a marriage last where one was a lot more attractive than the other.
September 18th, 2009 at 2:16 am
she must have finally realized her looked like one of the keebler elves and decided to move on to a real man, or at least one of regular height.
September 18th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
I think that celebrity marriages are nothing more than who they want to screw exclusively at that given point in time, its not about love. It will last for a few months, a few years, or a couple nights (after they’ve sobered up). As much as I love our actors and musicians they have really given marriage a bad image that tells the younger generation divorce is natural and common. Our youth needs to take notes from the late Patrick Swayze and his wife, high school sweethearts who truly loved each other.
September 19th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hopefully, this dude is smart enough to have secretly taped them having sex. If he did, there are porn companies that would pay 5 to 15 million for it. I’d love to see and hear what kinds of love noises that bitchy skank Avril Lavigne makes. I bet she’s a punk whore in the sack! it would be the only time my ears could take hearing this so-called rocker scream.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Marriage to all of these celebrity creampuffs is just another accessory, like a small dog, or Juicy handbag. My theory is that no celebrity, or very few, can EVER have a great marriage, because they don’t live in the real world. Marriage can only be strengthened by trials and tribulations. When you are surrounded by yes men, money and privledge PLUS being in the national sportlight, reality begins to bend.
