Avril Lavigne, in her two decades of influence as the princess of pop-punk, has seen her time in the spotlight surrounded by talk of her romantic life.
Recently, the Canadian songstress, 38, became embroiled in a reported love triangle of sorts when her engagement to fellow musician Mod Sun abruptly ended in February and she began a romance with rapper Tyga.
After the pair were seen kissing at Paris Fashion Week this March, their relationship became a significant topic of discussion, all the way till their reported split in June. However, after they were spotted together at a Fourth of July party, love has apparently sparked once again.
In a new interview as the cover star of Grazia Bulgaria, Avril is getting candid about life and love in the spotlight, and gave a cryptic response when asked about her romances.
"Honestly, I'm a romantic and I love everything that comes with love," she told the outlet (in translated Bulgarian). "It can be beautiful, it can be messy. It can be passionate, anger can intervene, there can be ups, there can be downs. But to some extent it defines us as people."

"20 years later, I'm still here, but more mature and experienced. I don't take it too seriously anymore. To answer your question – yes, I have changed, but the change is the reason I am the person I am today."
