Avril Lavigne parents
Jean-Claude Joseph Lavigne (father)
If you wondered what the name Avril meant, it is the French word for the month April. She was named by her French-Canadian father Jean-Claude. He played an important role in the discovery of his daughter’s vocal ability together with Avie’s mum Judy.
Jean-Claude bought Avril a microphone, drum kit, a keyboard and guitars so they could build their very own studio from the basem*nt. He worked as a technician for Bell Canada.
Judith-Rosanne Lavigne (mother)
One day on the way back from church when Avril was still two years old, Judith-Rosanne discovered their daughter could sing! This happened when Lavigne sang “Jesus Loves Me” and Judy has been ever so supportive since then. The stay-at-home mom even started calling Avril her little songbird because since then, Judith knew her daughter was going to be a singer.
Judith and Jean-Claude bought a sound machine for their songbird Avie to sing along with for hours. Don’t you think their dedication and support eventually paid off? Their daughter is now among the top ten best musical artists in Canada today at quite a young age.
Avril Lavigne siblings
Matthew Lavigne (brother, born to Jean-Claude and Judy Lavigne)
Matthew is the only brother to the Belleville born pop/rock singer. When Avril was a kid, Matthew always felt her singing was annoying because she was always “shouting” the house down with her “terrible” voice. In 2012, rumours went by that Avril was transsexual according to her brother Matthew. Who thinks this was true? There are no much facts to proof this anyways.
Michelle Lavigne (sister, born to Jean-Claude and Judy Lavigne)
We know practically nothing about Avril’s baby sister Michelle Lavigne. The last Lavigne child Michelle was one of the miscellaneous crew for the movie The Princess and the Frog (2009). She is a student of University of Toronto, Canada.
