Personally I don’t think he’s bad looking at all, but I’m more concerned about how much younger he is than her. And how quickly she seemed to move on after dating someone for a year+. It comes across like she’s having some sort of midlife crisis and is dating someone 10+ years younger than her to try to make her feel young again or something. It just looks so... desperate. She comes across like the type of woman who always needs to have a man around. Can’t stand being alone. Even if it means flash in the pan flings with her producers or touring mates that won’t last. It’s sad and quite honestly pathetic. He’s 23. Actually will be in March.

It’s sad and quite honestly pathetic. Yeah I completely agree. She seems to just jump at anyone who gives her attention. It’s odd, she’s a beautiful successful woman yet it just screams insecurity. I really thought the relationship with Philip seemed good for her, she seems to temporarily mature when she’s with someone then they split and she goes back to beer pong and keg stands. I don’t know, I hope she’s happy but I don’t get the impression she is and it’s sad to watch.

Yep it’s sad to see her go from dating someone actually her age for once and committing for a year, being really low key, then like a month or 2 after their breakup jumping into a relationship with a dude barely out of college.

I get the reservations about this new romance, but you guys are being judgemental as hell, holy fuck. Live and let live. So what if he's a decade younger than her, Avril is far from being a mature person anyway and they're both adults. I sincerely couldn't give two craps about this romance or any of her previous romances. For all it's worth, she tends to end all her relationships on a civil note and that must at least mean she isn't straight up being an asshole to the guys she dates, which is the only hint of a problem I could remotely have with her private love life -- no one likes an asshole.
Other than that, I'm only REALLY concerned about the ever lacking interaction with fans, ever lacking music related content, ever lacking growth as an artist and musician, ever lacking passion and dedication to her job. Everything else, quite literally none of my business.

Other than that, I'm only REALLY concerned about the ever lacking interaction with fans, ever lacking music related content, ever lacking growth as an artist and musician, ever lacking passion and dedication to her job. Everything else, quite literally none of my business. It’s not so much that he’s younger than her. It’s that she jumps quickly between relationships and there’s been evidence of some potential overlap between many of the guys she’s dated, to the point a couple women have basically accused her of being a home wrecker. Her relationships began very strangely in this way with both Chad and Ryan, who were both in relationships around the time they got with Avril. The timeline is fuzzy, it’s possible both were broken up by the time they started dating Avril, but it’s still suspicious. And we know obviously she knew Pete while still dating Philip, so it’s possible she started to develop feelings for him while on tour before she called it quits with Philip. That’s just one aspect of her dating life that is problematic IMO. Secondly, she comes across like she can’t stand being alone. She’s never been single for more than a few months at a time. She will jump into relationships with anyone, even people she works with, even if the relationship isn’t going to last (Rotem, this Pete guy). It reeks of desperation. She is 35, twice divorced, went through a serious illness. This dude is barely out of college and relatively new to the music industry. They are at 2 completely different phases in their respective lives and I don’t see what they’d have in common other than obviously music. Sure, I’m a live and let live kind of person and usually don’t care much who she is dating. If she knows full well this is nothing more than a fun fling that she doesn’t expect to truly last or be super fulfilling, that’s her prerogative. But it is sad to watch her repeat the same self destructive behavior over and over and frankly she is starting to get too old to still be handling relationships like this. Not saying she needs to settle down and get married, but for the love of God, grow up a little. ETA: Oh let’s not forget how she has to get matching tattoos 2 weeks into dating every guy she’s with. Another sign of immaturity IMO, seems like something only teens would do. She clearly has issues with commitment and gets bored of a relationship once the honeymoon phase is over. And then it’s wash, rinse, and repeat with her, “off to the next one.” She can live her life however she wants, but I seriously doubt she is happy being like this. And after a point, as I said, when you get to a certain age, it just looks incredibly immature and sad. In my opinion.

Clearly she is the type of girl who doesn't like being single -- that much is a given -- but we literally know perhaps 10% of what goes on in her personal love life to jump to such serious assumptions. I mean, calling it "self-destructive behaviour"? Over what? Breaking up with guys and starting new relationships shortly after? We know so little of what actually happens in her relationships. Do you know why she and Philip broke up? Or what their day to day life was like? Do you actually KNOW she is unhappy living the way she does? All I see throughout your post are your own projections.
It is not my personal preference either to engage in romance the way Avril does, nor would it be fulfilling for me personally, but I still struggle to see the big fuss over her breaking up with this Philip guy -- who we knew nothing about -- and now seemingly having some fun with this Pete guy -- who we also know pretty much nothing about. It frankly does not determine her values as a person the way you seem to be inferring it does. Maybe it's because I sincerely couldn't care less about her private business, though.
For the record, I completely agree she is immature af. Another reason why I don't see the point in even factoring Pete's age in this discussion.
Honestly, just call me when she does something semi-exciting with her music career again (if ever, eek), then I'll be happy to dissect her behaviour and choices with y'all.

rosegold I am with you, this lack of enthusiasm towards her music career is killing my spirit as a fan. But hey she is at the Clive Davis Grammy party and is going on tour soon. I am begging for another insta story with her playing the acoustic guitar to MHE or any other song, like she did before the USA tour leg. I just like seeing her doing music that's not like "I'm in the studio again"
As for the new guy, uhhh why is he posting these pics. And on Facebook too lmao isn't that more for family now. Like what's with the sharing dude? Didn't this just start like a month ago at least 😬. I'm no expert at relationships or social media but isn't it all too soon.

Agree to disagree. No, I’m not saying I know her as a person or know all the details of her relationships. I’m just forming an opinion based on a pattern of what I’ve seen of her over the years. IMO it IS a form of self destructive behavior. Never said it makes her a bad person. But I’d certainly never live my life the way she does and maybe that’s why it bothers me so much. Maybe she’s happy, maybe she’s not. However I think if you have to keep jumping into relationship after relationship and always chasing a “honeymoon” feeling, how happy can you really be? I don’t want to see her being in her 40s or 50s and still acting like this. I don’t think most of her fans do. You may not care at all about her personal life and that’s fine. But it doesn’t mean others can’t think what they want to.

Anyone wanna bet how long this is gonna last? I say they'll split before Halloween, just in time for her to proclaim how she's finding joys in carving pumpkins with her friends, lol. There's no right or wrong way to live as long as you don't hurt anybody, but its obvious that her circumstances allowed her to stay in the high-school phase for quite a long time. At the end of the day, its not that unusual, lots of music/film industry people flush with cash tend to have a similar lifestyle.
In other news, I kinda dig those sleeves of hers. They're odd, but interesting.

As far as I know, Jagwar Twin is not opening for her on the European leg, but this hasn’t been confirmed. Some blonde woman appeared on IG story a while ago confirming she will be opening for Avril but I’m not familiar with the artist. Of course Pete could still join Avril on the road even if JT isn’t going with her, but I think it would be hard to maintain this relationship if she’s on the other side of the world for the next few months. Wouldn’t be surprised if they break up before or after the tour.

But it doesn’t mean others can’t think what they want to. You can certainly think whatever you want to. And I can think you (not you in specific, but the majority of posts in this thread) are being incredibly judgemental over a relationship you know zero -- I mean, zero -- about and over an adult's love life who most likely has a different ideal of love than you (and I) do. She doesn't like being single, she should focus more on herself and her art -- all things any fan would agree with // Because she has a new boyfriend younger than her and hasn't had a long committed relationship in a while it means she's engaging in self destructive behaviour -- yeaaaah... right? Like, listen, you're free to think that way. Huge stretch imo, but you're free to do it. At the end of the day we're only even discussing this because being a fan of Avril is painfully boring and unrewarding and she literally gives us NOTHING actually interesting to discuss about her fucking career.

I wonder how she feels about Billie winning all those awards last night. I'm surprised she didn't congratulate her in a social media post, maybe she texted her or something though.
