Does Mathew Lavigne have a wife and kids or is he single? Anyone know? He is married to Amy (on the left). They got married in 2010. I don't know if they have children, I do not think so but that's not sure. Avril looks so sweet in that picture. Awww

Her brother has pretty much been in that role since avril started out- he was her guardian when she moved to New York City and he officially joined her tour security for the Bonez tour.

I remember seeing Matt at the Bonez tour in Glasgow - he was between the barrier and the stage (I was in the front row) watching the crowd. I remember being really excited when I seen him as I recognised him from pictures and an old TV documentary but I was too scared to say hello as he looked like he was really concentrating on the crowd!

It's nice they go very good together (Amy and Matt) Also nice for Avril cause it seems she and Amy get along very well. Michelle seems like a nice girl! I'm the same age as her! I'm also turning 28 this year ^_^ The picture of Michelle and Avril during Christmas is sweet!

This guy Mathew Lavigne just always seems to be looking really serious accompanying Avril here and there. He has a lot to thank Avril for giving him that role in her entourage. The truth is that people normally employed in security are physically imposing people. I wouldn't consider him a physically imposing person. If he had any backbone about him he would find his own path in life and not rely on Avril for employment. That's just my personal opinion. I think it would give him a greater sense of personal achievement and independence if he could do that. I think it must be a bit demoralising for him to know he owes so much to his sister as it is.

He was the one who left to NY with her, accompanied her and believed in her since the beginning. He owes her nothing, I guess he makes her feel good and safe and she´s happy to have him around.

Matt is her big brother. That is a natural part for him to take I think it must be nice to know you have someone from your family with you at all times, and not just back home, cheering for you.

What I mean is that it must be bad for Mathew's personal self esteem to be working for his sister. Our family are always going to be accepting of us. Trying to sell yourself to the wider world is a different kettle of fish. Sorry to sound a bit negative about their relationship. I know brothers that have worked together and twins but to have one sibling as boss and the other as employee in a kind of servant master relationship must be fraught with tensions. I could be wrong I guess.

I might be a a little jealous of Avril if I were her sibling, especially working for her and watching how much money she made

I guess nepotism is the word I'm looking for and the negative effects that come with that.

Avril probably wanted him to go with her so she'd have someone close to her on the road at all times. If it wasn't working for either or both of them, then Avril would have fired him or he'd have quit. And he might be tougher than he looks. He was very athletic as a kid just like Avril was. I'm sure if someone tried to attack Avril he'd cut a bitch like nobody's business, that is his little sister after all. I'm sure Matt enjoys his job, getting to travel all over the world to amazing places with a world famous pop star. If he hated it, he'd have quit. And I'm sure Avril treats him and the rest of her staff well. Neither one of them owes the other anything, he has a job working for her and he protects her. Nobody should "owe" anyone anything.

I bet nobody remembers the last time Avril was in London and she was an hour late for her performance because some crazed fan jeopardized her security when she was travelling to the event. Nothing ever came of it and Avril just moved onto her next tour date. If Avril's security were doing their job properly that wouldn't have happened. I hope Avril comes back to the UK in the future with better security because I've never seen her perform live and increasingly I feel I never will.

I hope Avril comes back to the UK in the future with better security because I've never seen her perform live and increasingly I feel I never will. First of all, no one here has forgotten about that incident. Secondly, nobody knows exactly what happened. All we know is that it was something Avril said made her fear for her life. For all we know someone burst into her dressing room with a gun or something. I think it's unfair to make a judgment about her security team when we don't even know what actually happened. Presumably they don't carry guns, if someone came in with a gun they can't necessarily stop it right away. They're not cops. Her team probably could have done a better job on that tour (somehow a girl jumped onstage in Brazil or wherever too) but since we don't know exactly what happened in that situation, I don't think it's fair to say they didn't do their job properly or that it wouldn't have happened if they had done their job right. We don't know that and we have literally no details about the incident.

We never got to know what happened.

I know this is a little OT but this is how Gaga treats her bodyguards. Lol. She literally had her hand on the door but then realized someone else should open the door for her.
