Avril Lavigne doesn’t regret her marriages.
The 34-year-old singer – who split from first husband Deryck Whibley in 2009 after three years of marriage and went on to wed Chad Kroeger in July 2013 before separating in September 2015 – "loves love" and is still on good terms with both her former spouses.
She said: "I love love. The way I looked at it is I married my long-terms."
The ‘Head Above Water’ singer first met Chad when it was suggested by her then-manager that they get into the recording studio together and they quickly fell in love.
Recalling her initial reaction to the collaboration suggestion, she told Billboard magazine: "He’s had a ton of hit songs. He plays guitar. This could be great…
"A month later, I had a 14-carat ring on my finger."
And the 43-year-old rocker quickly caught her attention when he arrived for their first studio session with a $3,000 bottle of Screaming Eagle wine.
She said: "[I thought] ‘Like, I’m in love.’ "
After two days in the recording studio, Avril made the ‘How You Remind Me’ singer get a matching tattoo with her, which read ‘Vivre le moment present’ – Live in the present moment – and she admitted around 75 per cent of her inkings were done in tandem with other people, including two she has with her Deryk, a musical note and a number 30 to mark the Sum-41 rocker’s 30th birthday, which fell after they had split.
But the ‘Girlfriend’ hitmaker admitted she doesn’t always remember getting inked, and it once came as a shock to her when she discovered a constellation of stars by her inner hip.
She recalled: "I remember, like, peeing. And looking at it like, ‘What the f**k did I do!? I love it.’ "
