Meanwhile, Avril appeared unbothered in a new Instagram post that same day, as she attended Paris Fashion Week. “PFW,” she captioned the set of photos, along with a black and white heart emoji.

As previously mentioned, Avril and Mod broke off their engagement on Feb. 21, just one-month shy of their one-year engagement anniversary. At the time, Avril’s reps confirmed the breakup to Page Six, however, Mod’s reps were not aware of the news. “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 “Down” musician’s team told the outlet. Despite the end of their romance, Mod will remain on tour, his reps reassured. “The show will happen tonight and tomorrow and for the rest of the tour,” they noted.

The punk-rock popstar and Mod met in Jan. 2021 when they worked on some music together, and soon after that they sparked a passionate romance. Avril told PEOPLE in 2022 that when she met Mod, she was actually taking a break from dating, however, he stole her heart anyway. “I knew we had a very strong unstoppable connection from the first week of writing and working together in the studio. Immediately,” she quipped at the time. “He made every day better. It was like I had known him forever. As time went on, things kept getting better, and it felt incredibly natural.”

Prior to dating Mod, Avril dated billionaire Phillip Sarofim, 37, for one year until they called it quits in Nov. 2019. She was previously married to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger, 48, from 2013 to 2015, and to Canadian musician Deryck Whibley, 42, from 2006 to 2010.
