Avril Lavigne Remains BFF With Her Ex!
Despite their divorce, Avril Lavigne confirms that she and ex-hubby Deryck Whibley are on good terms!
“He’s one of my best friends, and we work really well together and we stay in touch,” the singer told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM radio show Tuesday. “I think we’re very lucky. We’ve been friends for a really long time and we always will be family. We have a connection. Things are good. I’m really grateful for that.”
That’s something you don’t see too often in Hollywood! Most ended marriages result in bitter publicized divorces leaving no hope for any type of legit friendship.
Lavigne — who will appear as a guest judge on an upcoming episode of American Idol — says that she and Whibley “still work together all the time,” even though she filed for divorce from the rocker in October after three years of marriage.
Newly single Lavigne has devoted her free time to working on her new album, Pink Crust, which Whibley has even agreed to help with!
“Deryck has done a lot of production on this album and mixing,” she says.
That’s gotta be a bit awkward considering he was the inspiration behind most of the new tracks.
“I’ve been writing this album for awhile now,” she said. “A lot of the songs are really personal to me and honest.”
Props to them for making their friendship work! We can’t imagine things will run as smoothly once one of them finds love again!
