The source continued: "Her working relationships often turn romantic. Avril and Mod Sun have been spending a ton of time together and getting to know each other better."
The two collaborated on the song "Flames," which will be featured on Mod Sun's next album. "Sending a huge thank u to everyone who has watched + shared this video over the last week!," Mod Sun wrote on a post about the project.

Mod told Entertainment Tonight Canada in January about how much he admires Lavigne and her music.
"Avril Lavigne has one of my favorite voices in music," Mod said. "It's so strong and confident, yet filled with emotion and one-of-a-kind inflections that only her voice can do."

I pulled out a ring + asked you to wear it. I was on one knee as I looked in your eyes. You're too beautiful for my words to describe. I grabbed your hand + took one last breath...I said 'will you marry me?' + she said 'yes'. I love you Avril."

I'll keep my head up + always listen my heart, even when it feels broken."
