Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun are engaged! See their super sweet announcements

Almost two decades after 'Sk8ter Boy' was released (still a tune, btw) Avril Lavigne is hitting headlines again thanks to her relationship with Mod Sun. Alongside the likes of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, and Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, the pair seem to be a part of the pop punk renaissance, and we're kind of really loving it.

Here's what you need to know about their relationship, from how they got together to their sweet engagement news - starting with the most recent update.

7th April 2022

Sound the wedding bells, as Avril and Mod Sun are officially engaged! The couple shared the news via matching Instagram posts, and the whole thing is very adorable.

To make things all the more romantic, Mod Sun proposed in front of the actual Eiffel Tower in Paris, with the pair sharing a matching series of pics showing Mod Sun down on one knee in front of the landmark.

In the pics, Avril can be seen smiling down at Mod Sun, with the couple posting a bunch of selfies showing off Avril's *huge* heart-shaped diamond ring. Wow.

Revealing (in French) that the duo actually got engaged on 27th March 2022, Avril wrote, "Oui! Je t’aime pour toujours 🤍💍🥂Dimanche. 27. Mars. 2022." The post translates to, "Yes! I love you forever," before confirming the date of their engagement.

Mod Sun went on to share a full-on poem for his new fiancée, writing:

"The day we met I knew you were the one.
Together forever til our days are done.
I had a dream where I proposed in paris.
I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it.
I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes.
You’re too beautiful for my words to describe.
I grabbed your hand + took one last breath…
I said 'will you marry me?' + she said 'yes'.
I love you Avril ❤️"

Could these two get any more romantic? Congratulations, guys!
