Photos of punk rocker lite Avril Lavigne and Ryan Cabrera on a number of public outings have been popping up on newsfeeds everywhere, prompting many to assume that the two singers were Canada’s new power couple. Well, assume no more, the truth has been revealed – the pair are just roommates.

A source told E! News that 33-year-old Ryan (who famously dated singer Ashlee Simpson) recently parted ways with his girlfriend, Entertainment Tonight host Katie Krause. They were living together, but Ryan’s party animal ways are to blame for the breakup. 31-year-old Avril, as you may remember, announced back in September that she and Nickleback singer Chad Kroeger were ending their two year marriage. Ryan and Avril have been friends for many years, and they have a connection thanks to The Hills – back then, Avril was linked with Brody Jenner and Ryan was seeing Audrina Patridge. There’s nothing better than having a buddy around when you’re going through tough times, and it seems the pair are making the most of their friendship. But, as you have seen countless movies and TV shows, can a guy and a girl really be just friends? They’re young, attractive and single…and living under the same roof…is this just a “roommate ruse” to throw us off of the scent of romance?

But, like roomies often do, the pair have been hanging out and enjoying what LA has to offer, stopping by a pumpkin patch and grabbing a bite at Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood eatery, Pump, where an eyewitness told E!, “[Avril] came with a guy and a lady and they sat for dinner. They were just there hanging out and having happy conversation.” Hey, if they’re enjoying each others company in a platonic way, good for them. You kind of have to feel a little sorry for Avril, the girl has not only had to battle Lyme disease, she also had to live with Chad Kroeger. Egad. Think of it this way, both of these singers are trying to get back in the music game. If they’re out having fun, they won’t have time to record anything, right?
