Avril Lavigne praises ex-husband Deryck Whibley as they perform together
Avril Lavigne has praised her ex-husband Deryck Whibley as a "legend" after the pair reunited for a performance.
The 40-year-old singer and the Sum 41 frontman, 45, wed in 2006, but they split in 2009 and their divorce was confirmed in 2010.
However, the former couple are still on good terms, and Deryck joined Avril on stage at the RFK Stadium Grounds in Washington on Sunday night (15.06.25) as she headlined the Vans Warped Tour.
Avril and Deryck performed Sum 41's song In Too Deep together to "one of the best crowds" she has experienced.
The Complicated hitmaker wrote on Instagram: "Headlined @vanswarpedtour last night and it was everything I would have expected and more! It was one of the best crowds and you guys know how to rock.
"Also this legend @deryckwhibley from @sum41 joined me for one of the best pop punk anthems of all time "In Too Deep" (sic)"
Deryck is now married to model Ariana Cooper, and Avril previously wed Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger in 2013, but they divorced in 2015.
Avril and singer Mod Sun got engaged in March 2022, but the pair were their separate ways less than a year later.
A month after the pair got engaged, Avril insisted relationships were "not easy", and she had learned to "prioritise" herself rather than relying on other people.
Speaking to FAULT Magazine at the time, she said: "Yes, love is hard and relationships are not easy.
"It's not easy for anybody and I've now lived long enough to realise that I need to prioritise myself and take care of myself.
"I went through a phase where I was like 'I'm gonna be independent and have time on my own for a minute...'
"And it really didn't last that long! But when I started the album, I was definitely in the mindset of, 'If I'm going to rely on anyone in
this world, it's going to be me.' "

Elliot Page debuts first romance since marriage split
Elliot Page has debuted his first public relationship since his 2021 divorce. The 38-year-old actor celebrated Pride month by unveiling his new romance with Overcompensating star Julia Shiplett, 38, with a sweet post on Instagram. Elliot shared a picture of them cuddling on a street painted rainbow and captioned the picture with rainbow and double heart emojis. Julia also shared some pictures of Elliot shirtless in a hot spring to her Instagram Stories. She added the exhaling and the water droplet emojis and wrote: 'Happy prideee.' This is the first public romance for Elliot since his marriage to Emma Portner ended four years ago. The pair tied the knot in 2018 and Emma was publicly supportive when Elliot came out as transgender in December 2020. However, they filed for divorce in January 2021 and revealed they had been secretly separated since the previous summer. They said in a joint statement at the time: 'After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer. We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.' While Julia is Elliot's first public partner since the split, he revealed previously that he was enjoying dating following the divorce and his transition. He told the Los Angeles Times: 'It's the most fun I've ever had dating. Interacting with people feels so much easier and more connected, because I'm not feeling lost in myself and not seen in the right way.'

STM Loves: Luxe Designer Fashion Hire, Plateful Perth, The 7 Stages Of Grieving, Adore Beauty and Re-PLAY
Behind the glass of this Subiaco boutique, there are thousands of dresses: maxis, minis, long-sleeved and strapless, tulle, sequins and everything in between, plus shoes, bags, jewellery and headwear. But it's sustainable fashion with a mission; 100 per cent of the proceeds go to support Vinnies' programs for women, including help for those fleeing family violence. The venture, which stocks designers from Valentino to Aje, Zhivago and Leo Lin, was started by the charity almost nine months ago under the motto of 'women helping women'. Last financial year, Vinnies' emergency helpline took almost 50,000 calls, with almost a third first-time callers. 'There is so much need out there, all sorts of challenges for people in the community, so we wanted to find a new revenue source to help fund, develop and grow our vital programs,' says Zoe Hammond, Vinnies head of designer fashion. There are stylists in-store and four and eight-day hire options. See @luxedesignerfashionhire on Instagram. For the young and the young at heart, this interactive exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia features the playful work of local artist Maxxi Minaxi May. The display has hands-on installations, tactile experiences and bursts of colour to encourage different age groups to work together, and 'challenges the 'greyness' of contemporary life and pushes back against consumerism, schedules and screens'. 'Research highlights the profound impact of multigenerational play and creativity in igniting imagination and deepening relationships with each other and the world,' says Lilly Blue, curator and AGWA learning and creativity research manager. There will also be a special program for the winter school holidays. Re-PLAY runs July 5 until February. See . This month-long event has more than 100 offers to get people into the city in August, with everything from one-night-only premium dining to discounts for great value meals and for the first time, staycation packages with food included. The Premium Plates program includes a Parisian night at Fleur and a six-course Cape to Cape dinner at Cooee, among other high-end restaurants. Sip Sessions offers cocktail classes and guided bar-hopping, Feast involves long-table banquets and chef collaborations and Gourmet Getaways combines a hotel stay with dining. For those on a budget, Bargain Bites has specials for casual dinners and lunches. See . Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company is putting on a season of this groundbreaking play to mark 30 years since it premiered as a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. The 1995 play, by writer/director Wesley Enoch and acclaimed actor Deborah Mailman, is told by a single narrator and weaves together cultural knowledge, memories and experiences. Its production by Yirra Yaakin, starring Shontane Farmer and Shahnee Hunter in alternating shows, is the first time the play has been presented by an Aboriginal theatre company. It will be at Subiaco Arts Centre from July 3-12. See . After years of eagerly awaiting their skincare deliveries (and the obligatory Tim Tam), Perth beauty lovers can finally shop in-person, with Adore Beauty opening two stores. The first opened at Westfield Carousel on June 26, with Westfield Booragoon to follow on July 10. More than 90 brands will be on offer, including a dedicated Korean beauty section, haircare, fragrances, local favourites and global names like La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica. Forget hibernating: from July 7 to August 17 the Leederville Precinct will come alive with this annual food, wine and music festival. Over six weeks The Leederville Hotel, The Garden and Sevo will host a tasty array of dinners, tastings, workshops and parties as a way to showcase talented chefs, winemakers and creatives. From an evening of Boombox Bingo, to a decadent Deep Woods truffle dinner to a Stretch and Sip mozzarella masterclass, there is plenty to draw you out of your dressing gown.
