Walaupun dia mengutip bahwa aliran musiknya adalah punk dan menggambarkan sebagai hasil pengaruh, aliran musiknya telah diberi nama umum dengan punk tahun 1970an.<br />
Avril berbicara tentang penampilan barunya dalam sebuah wawancara pada bulan September 2006, dia menjelaskan "When I was in high school I was a little shit, hanging out with the guys, gettting drunk, getting in fights, playing hockey. My band were all guys, so I was only around guys, but when I got older I started being more of a chick. I broke out on the scence lookina like the 17-year-old that I was. And from then to now I look really different - but that's called growing up".<br />

Sebagai seorang remaja dia biasanya bermain di Restoran La Pizzera di Napanee, Ontario.

Rumah tersebut memiliki 8 kamar tidur, 10 kamar mandi, sebuah ruangan kerja, elevator, dapur kelas tinggi, dan garasi untuk 10 mobil.<br />
Avril pernah digosipkan memiliki hubungan istimewa dengan mantan gitarisnya Jesse Colburn, tetapi menolak rumor tersebut, dan menjelaskan bahwa dia tidak memiliki hubungan apapun selain 'teman' dengannya maupun dengan anggota band lainnya sepeti Evan Taubenfeld atau siapapun. Walaupun begitu, Evan Taubenfeld masih menganggap bahwa Avril adalah sahabat terbaiknya disepanjang waktu dan seluas dunia, seperti yang dia katakan dalam halaman web resmi band "Q&A", band terakhirnya. Dalam majalah J-14, Avril bercerita tentang ciuman pertamanya terjadi saat dia berumur 14 tahun.<br />
Tahun 2004, muncul sebuah berita bahwa Avril dan Hillary Duff bertengkar hebat. "I read that I was supossedly mad at my fans for dresssing like me" kata Avril dalam koran mingguan Quoted. "They quoted Hillary Duff saying 'Avril need to appreciate her fans and blah, blah, blah.' I'm like, excuse me? First off, it's not even true. I never said that, and second, who the hell cares what she has to say about my fans? Whatever, Hillary Duff such a goody-goody, such a mommy's girl". Baru-baru ini dilaporkan ada dramatisir antara mereka berdua di pesta Maxim di New York, dengan kejadian yang berbelit-belit dan rumit saat kedatangan mereka karena pelarian yang tak diinginkan. Avril berbicara sangat kasar, melompat secara kasar dan memaksa pihak penyelenggara pesta untuk meninggalkan tempat itu.<br />
Bulan Februari 2004, dia mulai menjalin hubungan khusus dengan penyanyi Kanada Deryck Whibley, yang merupakan vokalis utama/gitaris pop punk band Sum 41. Pada tanggal 27 Juni 2005, Avril dan Deryck berwisata romantis ke Venice, Italia. Pasangan ini menikah disebuah gereja katholik dengan upacara pernikahan secara agamis dengan disaksikan sekitar 110 tamu undangan pada tanggal 15 Juli 2006, di sebuah lahan pribadi di California coastal city of Montecito. Saat ditanya apakah mereka siap untuk diberi keturunan, mereka mengatakan "not right now but somewhere down the road".<br />
Namun ternyata sekarang hubungan mereka tidak abadi lagi, hal tersebut dikarenaan perselingkuhan yang terjadi antara Deryck dengan Hilton. Avril pun menggugat cerai.<br />
