Mod Sun recently went on the Dumb Blonde podcast and discussed his short-lived relationship with popular musician Avril Lavigne. The Rich Kids Ruin Everything crooner talked about their one-year romance, how they met, and what happened after the breakup.“We met through a truly awesome label making music. It was lovely. She was a true talent being around. I write and produce songs for other artists, so it was amazing coming up with an idea and seeing someone so f--king talented sing it.”He also spoke about their influence on each other, claiming she helped him grow up and become more secure.“We’re two different people, but I think I had a great influence on her. I think she couldn’t have had a more wonderful influence on me from the side of [helping me] grow up. Like now, I’m very secure of who I am, because I’ve been lost in the last three years of wondering, ‘Where do I fit in?’”Mod Sun didn’t speak about what led to their breakup, but he revealed that he’s becoming a better person since the split.“I pray every single day, and in those prayers, I’m like, ‘Just allow me to lead with empathy and be a shining light.’ My form of empathy is finally attached to being like, ‘Dude, you’ve got to get outside of yourself.”He added:“When someone does you wrong, stop thinking f--k them, you did me dirty, and I’m out for revenge.’ It started being like, ‘Step in their position.”He emphasized that he has no bad blood towards Avril Lavigne and wishes her well.“I hope she hears this, but I’m now just like, ‘If I run into you? It’s all love. I hope you’re well.’”More details on Mod Sun’s appearance on the Dumb PodcastMod Sun sat down with Bunnie XO in June 2024 to discuss his career, love life, and friendships.
