The 37-year-old musician confirmed the joyful news on social media alongside several pictures of their time in the city of love.
Lavigne, who has been dating the punk rocker for more than a year, revealed the proposal had actually taken place at the end of March.
One of the pictures featured Mod Sun proposing to Lavigne in front of the Eiffel Tower while others showed off her enormous diamond ring.
Alongside the sweet collection of engagement pictures, she wrote: “Oui! Je t’aime pour toujours. Dimanche. 27. Mars. 2022.”
Speaking to People magazine about their proposal, Lavigne revealed it had been the “perfect” day but it was also a total surprise.
She said: “It was the most perfect, romantic proposal I could ever ask for. We were in Paris on a boat in the Seine River. We had a violin player, champagne and roses. It felt like time stood still, and it was just the two of us in the moment.”
Speaking about her heart-shaped diamond ring, Lavigne added: “He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart shaped diamond because on the day we met, we had matching heart shaped paved rings on. We’ve worn them every day since, so its only fitting to have a heart-shaped engagement ring. I love it so much.”
Mod Sun - whose real name is Derek Ryan Smith - has also shared a heartfelt message on Instagram as he recalled their special day.
He wrote: “The day we met I knew you were the one. Together forever til our days are done. I had a dream where I proposed in Paris.
“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”.”
The Sk8ter Boi hitmaker has been inundated with congratulatory messages ever since she confirmed her happy news on social media.
Lavigne was first linked to her punk rock love when they collaborated on his 2021 single Flames.
They were later spotted together on several occasions before confirming in April 2021 there had been an “immediate connection”.
