Avril Lavigne’s Ex-Husband Drops Her Name
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Divorce,
Avril Lavigne's ex-husband is finally dropping her last name.
Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley has filed legal documents asking to revert back to his old surname - three years after the pair divorced. Deryck adopted Lavigne as one of his middle names after they tied the knot in 2006, but the "In Too Deep" hitmaker only petitioned to drop the moniker on Thursday, E! Online is reporting.
Avril remarried this summer, swapping vows with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in July. The "Complicated" singer chose to not take her husband's surname in both marriages.
While the 29-year-old star has remained on good terms with her ex, blaming their young age for their divorce in 2009, Chad appears to have a fraught relationship with his fellow rocker. Last year, Deryck and his girlfriend Ari Cooper dressed as Avril and Chad for a Halloween party, and the Nickleback star didn't respond well to the joke. "Hey Deryck loved the costumes! We were going to dress up as you guys this year but all the parties had celebrity themes haha!" Chad scoffed on Twitter at the time.

Avril Lavigne Asking for Divorce

UPDATE: You can read Avril’s personal note on the divorce here.
Whispers about a possible split have just grown louder. It’s now being reported that divorce papers will be filed shortly for Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley.
Avril is said to have asked Deryck, whom she wed three years ago, to move out of their Los Angeles mansion after calling time on their relationship. “She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.
The Sum 41 rocker is apparently “crushed” by his wife’s decision and was hoping to work through their problems.
Avril, 24, is so determined to distance herself from the relationship that she has decided to ditch tracks she worked on with Deryck from her upcoming album. “She is going to do new songs that don’t have his mark on them. She wants no trace of him,” a friend told the magazine.
The couple’s marriage has reportedly been in trouble for months now, with Avril often seen partying with friends without her husband. In June, Deryck went to the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen alone while Avril spent a week holidaying in Saint-Tropez with pals.
Deryck, 29, was also not present when Avril showed her new clothing collection at New York Fashion Week on Monday. Whibley’s representative did not comment on the report, while Lavigne’s could not be reached.

“She wanted to get away from Deryck and have a weekend to herself,” the source revealed, when asked about Avril’s weekend trip to the Southampton.
The couple haven’t been photographed together since last December; Whibley’s solo appearance at L.A.‘s Transformers premiere (while Avril was in Saint-Tropez with girlfriends) didn’t do much to sway the gossip.
Divorce at a young age… kind of reminds me of that Britney girl Avril dislikes so much.
