Avril Lavigne’s former fiancé Mod Sun was pictured in Seattle on Wednesday, continuing on his musical tour amid news of his split with the Canadian songstress, who was seen a day earlier stepping out to dinner with Tyga.
The musical artist, 35, donned a multi-colored ensemble of a sweatshirt with a fleece hood with graffiti print trousers and black high-top sneakers.
The Bloomington, Minnesota native was pictured grabbing a Starbucks coffee in the company’s home city, donning black oval sunglasses on the wintry daytime outing. He was later seen donning a large denim jacket on the chilly day.
The singer-songwriter was snapped days after Lavigne, 38, was seen Sunday grabbing a meal with Tyga and several friends at Nobu Malibu, the high-end Southern California restaurant that’s popular with celeb diners.
The Complicated songstress was seen sharing an embrace with the rapper before departing in the same car together, according to TMZ.
The latest: Avril Lavigne’s former fiancé Mod Sun, 35, was pictured in Seattle on Wednesday, continuing on his musical tour amid news of his split with the Canadian songstress, 38, who was seen Sunday stepping out to dinner with Tyga, 33, in Malibu, California
On the outing, Lavigne sported a black sweatshirt over a skirt with large black boots.
The Sk8er Boi songstress wore a skirt and large black platform boots and she toted a red bag while waiting at the valet with Tyga, who once dated Kylie Jenner.
She wore her wavy blonde locks parted and was seen embracing the rapper while waiting outside at the restaurant.
Tyga donned a bucket hat with a denim jacket over a black shirt with jeans and sneakers, sporting a large gold necklace.
A rep for Mod Sun implicated that he was blindsided by Lavigne calling off their engagement, telling Page Six that both he and the Complicated hitmaker ‘were together and engaged as of three days ago when he left for tour.’
The rep of Mod Sun, whose real name is Derek Ryan Smith, further added that, ‘So, if anything has changed, that’s news to him.’
The rapper kicked off his anticipated concert tour on February 19 to promote his fifth studio album, God Save The Teen, which Lavigne was also featured on.
Despite Avril calling it quits on their relationship, the Karma performer will still continue his performances as planned. ‘The show will happen tonight and tomorrow and for the rest of the tour.’

TMZ reported that Avril had called off their engagement after the couple were ‘on and off’ for the past couple months.
However, the I’m With You songstress and the Bones singer were recently spotted attending a pre-Grammys party earlier this month, and were seen catching up with other stars such as Diplo.
While what exactly led to the split remains unclear, the tabloid says neither party were unfaithful to one another.
Insiders told the site the two have been good friends for some time but are nothing more.
Speaking with People, sources re-iterated Avril and Mod had been on-off for some time and that she is strictly friends with Tyga.
‘Avril and Mod Sun have been on and off for the past two months, but are no longer together as a couple,’ the insider said.
A source also told the outlet of her friendship with Tyga: ‘Avril and Tyga are genuinely friends and nothing more. There was absolutely no third party involved in the split.’
The split report comes after the release of Mod’s album God Save The Teen, which featured the track Avril’s Song and Shelter, a collaboration with the pop punk princess.
In an interview with E! News, Mod described Avril’s Song as ‘a total metaphor’ for the way his relationship with Avril has touched his life.

‘I have found such a partner in this world to go through the chaos that life gives you,’ he said. ‘I have found that person. I’m with a real grown woman who has gone through it all 10 times over and she makes me a better person.’
Avril also served as the inspiration for the track which she contributed to, Shelter.
Describing the song, Mod told E! Shelter is about ‘when you find someone that you want to go through life with,’ he said, adding, ‘they become that protection for you.’
He also revealed that he was looking forward to starting a family with Avril: ‘When you realize that success can be defined in growing old and creating a family and passing on these traits that you have and teaching someone that you brought into this world.
‘This is the first time in my life that I’ve started to think about defining success in that way. I want to grow old. I want to be a dad and then I want to be a grandpa.’
The vocalist was also featured on the rapper’s 2021 hit track titled, Flames, and he also assisted in the production of her 2022 album, Love Sux.
The two stars were first romantically linked back in December 2020, with Mod Sun proposing to Lavigne in Paris last year on March 27.
At the time, Avril recalled the special moment and expressed to People, ‘It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River.’

‘We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment,’ she further gushed.
‘I knew we had a very strong unstoppable connection from the first week of writing and working together in the studio. Immediately,’ the talented singer later added. They had initially crossed paths at a songwriting session.
In celebration of Avril’s birthday last year in September, the talented songwriter penned a sweet message to the Sk8er Boi hitmaker on Instagram.
Along with a heartfelt-inspired poem, he typed out, ‘To my soulmate, you are such a gift to this world + to say I’m lucky to share a life with you is the understatement of the century…not to mention you are also the most beautiful woman that’s ever walked this earth.’
‘In two years together we have made so many memories but it’s just the start. Let’s runway my love. Forever yours, mod.’
