Avril Lavigne has announced her engagement to pop punk musician Mod Sun.

The Canadian singer-songwriter broke the news to fans on Instagram, revealing that Mod Sun, real name Derek Ryan Smith, had proposed to her while the couple were taking a boat trip in Paris on March 27.

Lavigne shared a series of photos and videos from the day, as well as a picture of her diamond engagement ring.

“Oui! Je t’aime pour toujours. Dimanche. 27 Mars. 2022,” Lavigne wrote.

Mod Sun responded to the post and wrote: “I love you so much! Forever and ever my angel.”

The pair began dating after collaborating on Lavigne’s latest album Dear Sux.

Lavigne has been married twice: to musician Deryck Whibley from 2006 to 2010 and to Chad Kroeger from 2013 to 2015.

Mod Sun also shared a series of images and clips from the Paris application to his Instagram followers.

“The day we met I knew you were the one. Together forever until our days are done,” he wrote.

“I had a dream in which I proposed to a couple. I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. I was on one knee when I looked into your eyes. You are too beautiful to describe in my words. I took your hand + breathed in one last time… I said, ‘Will you marry me?’ + she said “yes”. I love you Avril”.
