1. Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun call off engagement

She said, "See you later, boy." Avril Lavigne and her fiancé, Mod Sun, have called off their engagement and split up, according to multiple reports. The two singers got engaged in March 2022 after dating for about a year, and they previously collaborated on his song "Flames." A source told Us Weekly they "have been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple." Lavigne, who has recently been spotted hanging out with Tyga, was the one who called off the engagement, according to TMZ, which makes a point to note that neither of them cheated and that Lavigne and Tyga are just friends. But a representative for Mod Sun told Us Weekly that he and Lavigne "were together and engaged as of three days ago when Mod left for tour so if anything has changed that's news to him." Things just got complicated.
