Well, yesterday we were taking the latest round of rumours that Avril Lavigne and Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley were beginning divorce proceedings with a pinch of salt, but now Lavigne has confirmed it. Although she denied claims by a source, who broke the news to Us Weekly earlier this week, that they now hate each other.
In a post on her MySpace blog, Lavigne said: "Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note".
If I'd found the most amazing person I knew who I loved with all my heart, I'd probably want to stay married to them. But I don't know the ins and outs of it, do I? Whibley has not yet made any comment himself.
