In early 2023, rumors began to circulate that Lavigne had found comfort in the arms of rapper Tyga. The unexpected pairing raised eyebrows on the internet, with fans curious to see how their contrasting styles and backgrounds would mesh. As their relationship blossomed, they were frequently spotted together at public events and shared affectionate posts on social media.

However, insiders now reveal that Lavigne's motivations for pursuing the romance with Tyga were more complex than meets the eye, per the Daily Mail.

A Source close to the pop star suggested that Lavigne never saw Tyga as a long-term partner and instead viewed their relationship as a rebound, opting to end it so as not to feel "tied down." According to them, Lavigne sought solace in Tyga's company, using him as a means to distance herself from a "toxic" relationship with musician Mod Sun.

"It came down to this. Avril didn't want to be locked into anything. Tyga was a rebound, and he helped her get away from her toxic relationship with Mod Sun," the source revealed to the news outlet.

In light of her public appearances with Tyga, many fans speculated that she cheated on her ex-fiancé Mod Sun with the "Taste" rapper; however, a source, who, according to Daily Mail, is a close pal of Lavigne, has come forward to shed light on the situation.

The source confirmed that Lavigne did not cheat on Mod Sun with Tyga despite the misconceptions and speculations that arose in the media.

"Avril didn't cheat on Mod. She was simply over his BS, and Tyga was an easy distraction," the insider revealed.

Mod Sun, whose real name is Derek Smith, is a singer-songwriter and rapper known for his alternative rock and pop-punk sound. He was engaged to Lavigne and even planned to give her a wedding fit for a princess, only to be "blindsided" by her decision to end their relationship in February.

Following their recent breakup, it was reported that Lavigne and Tyga have managed to maintain a friendship and ended their romantic relationship on amicable terms, per TMZ.

According to a source who spoke with the news outlet, the pair ended their relationship "a couple of weeks ago" with no hard feelings as it was a "mutual decision."

While they may have opted to remain friends, a source who spoke with the Daily Mail shared that they're unlikely to be seen "grabbing a bite to eat or going to the movies together anytime, ever."

"They come from different worlds, and their worlds do not overlap. It was good for what it was," the source added.

An insider close to the "Sk8er Boi" singer revealed that she would most likely embrace a period of self-reflection and personal growth following her recent breakup with Tyga.

The insider told the Daily Mail that Lavigne feels like she called it quits on her "brief fling" with the rapper "when she needed" and that she is in no hurry to jump into another romantic relationship.

"She was not in a rush to get into it, and she wasn't in a rush to get out of it. She also isn't in a rush to get into a new relationship with anyone," the source shared.

They continued, "She just needed this relationship to get out of the headspace she was in. It motivated her to move on from Mod Sun and proved to her that she still could find love, or in this case, lust if needed."

"She isn't going to be talking s**t about Tyga. She's perfectly okay with it being over and is going to look forward to being single. She doesn't feel jaded with the situation one bit," the insider added.
