Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley seemed like the perfect little poser couple for several years, but now their faux-punk fairytale may be about to crumble. The National Enquirer says that the couple have been growing apart since Avril’s career started blowing up again. Mrs. Whibley’s world tour started earlier this year and her new clothing line Abby Dawn launched this year as well, outfitting millions of tweens in punk princess prettiness. Apparently…..Deryck is not dealing with the fact that his woman is bringin’ home the bacon worldwide while he sits around playing Madden 08 somewhere in L.A.

Avril and Deryck haven’t been photographed together in months, but the D man has been photographed holding hands with some unknown chick outside a L.A. nightclub recently.
