"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."
Deryk was said to be "crushed" when Avril "walked out on him" but in a posting on his own blog, he claims their separation is amicable.
He wrote: "The past six-and-a-half years have been the most amazing years of my life. It's sad it has come to an end but Avril and I are still family and moving forward in the most positive way possible. Our decision to part ways is amicable and she holds a special place in my heart and forever will be a great and amazing friend."

The 'Complicated' singer - who recently announced she has split from husband Deryck Whibley - caused chaos during a stay in the UK by upturning each of her band members' rooms and throwing ice cubes everywhere.
She explained: "I definitely have trashed hotel rooms. I don't do it all the time, but once in awhile. In London, I was with my band, and I was in the bar with my friend Devon, who's my guitar player. I looked at him – it was like two o'clock in the morning – and I said, 'I think it's time for a band initiation.'
"So I went to the front desk and got keys to everyone's room. We got buckets of ice, and we got everybody's room keys and threw ice on them. The people who weren't in their rooms – we put it in the bathroom, on their mattresses, all over. It was really funny."




Avril has also revealed she can't resist partying whenever she is on the road and enjoys inviting her backing musicians back to her hotel suite after a live show.
The 25-year-old star told America's OK! magazine: "I'm a big fan of hotel mini bars.
