Avril Lavigne & Deryck Whibley Split

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 18th 2009 06:39AM

It's official: Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley are separating after three years of marriage, Us Weekly reports. Lavigne took to her blog to address the split. "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." According to an insider, Whibley, 29, "is crushed" by her decision though.

"She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on," a source said, adding that Lavigne forced him out of their $9.5 million, 12,000-square-foot estate in L.A.'s Bel Air. "Divorce papers will be filed any day now."

The couple have been friends since Lavigne was 17. She married Whibley in 2006 when she was 21.

"We'll be the best of friends," and then she blogs about it. Give me a break! This little girl-child better grow up some day. She should have been forced out of the $9.5 million house not him. She is a gold digger! Watch the sales for her products? drop!

For Avril to marry at 21 was the problem...met him at 17, married at 21, divorced at 24. It's called IMMATURITY, people. Did you really expect it to last???

If we all based our actions on just pursuing happiness and our own desires...we would be in ALOT of trouble. Dont get me wrong, and dont twist my words I'm not saying being happy is wrong or something..Im basically just saying when you marry somebody you dont just leave whenever your un-satisifed... you stick through it, you stick with the person that you made a life long commitment too, it will work out. Marriage is so special, and so beautiful...but it should never be taken lightly!
