We first heard about Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner hooking up in February of 2010. They got matching lighting bolt tattoos for each other a few months later, we heard they were gunning for a reality show (that thankfully went nowhere) and then we even heard they were engaged last year. Well all that is over now, as Brody and Avril have split.
After dating for almost two years, Life & Style can exclusively reveal that the pop singer and reality star have called it quits.
“They decided to end their relationship,” a source tells Life & Style. “It wasn’t working out, and they wanted to go their separate ways.”
According to friends, the main reason is that they didn’t see eye to eye when it came to marriage.
“She wanted to settle down, but he wasn’t exactly ready,” another source tells Life & Style. “They had been having problems starting in the summer with her tour because she was on the road all the time.”
“It put a strain on their relationship,” the source adds.
Avril, 27, began dating Brody, 28, just months after she split from her then-husband, Sum 41 front man Deryck Whibley, 31. The two were married on July 15, 2006, but Avril filed for divorce three years later. It was finalized on November 16, 2010.
Before dating Avril, Brody was linked to model Jayde Nicole.

These two lasted surprisingly long for a Kardashian (by marriage) and the queen of tween angst pop. It also surprises me to hear that Avril wanted to settle down. She doesn’t seem like the type at all. As mean as it sounds, at least she hasn’t had a kid yet. She’s generally insufferable and used to be known for being incredibly rude and bragging about it. Avril seemed to calm down quite a bit since she’s been dating Brody. It will only be a matter of time before we see photos of her stumbling drunk out of clubs and flipping off the paparazzi. After all, she’s got to find another dude to settle down with. Maybe she’s changed, though.
