Nate Smith was seen spending time with popular pop-rock artist Avril Lavigne, but it is important to note that they are not in a romantic relationship. They were spotted together in Los Angeles on Monday night, sparking speculation about their potential status as a cross-genre power couple. However, a reliable source close to one of them has dismissed these rumors and confirmed that there is no romantic involvement between them.
They are only acquaintances.
Both The Hollywood Curtain and TMZ released their own videos taken by paparazzi showing Smith and Lavigne spending time together. One interesting activity they were seen doing, which aligns with Lavigne's image as the "Sk8er Boi" singer, was skateboarding.
In a video captured by TMZ, Lavigne is seen getting off the back of a black pickup truck in a gas station parking lot, holding a skateboard. Shortly after, Smith joins her, sporting his typical leather jacket and black baseball cap. He also has a skateboard, but it's evident that he is not as skilled as Lavigne – she quickly zooms past him along the sidewalk while he struggles to keep up, using the side of the truck for support.
Footage captured at the Hollywood Curtain features the duo stepping out of Catch Steak, a steakhouse in Los Angeles. It is uncertain if both videos were recorded on the same evening, but Smith and Lavigne seem to be dressed similarly, except for Lavigne who had to take off her black hooded sweatshirt before departing from the dinner.
According to TMZ, Smith and Lavigne were casually having dinner together as friends, possibly to talk about possible collaborations in their music projects.
Lavigne's involvement with the country music community is not completely unexpected. During the 2023 CMA Fest, she joined Miranda Lambert on stage to perform "Kerosene" and "Sk8er Boi." Additionally, Lavigne was also invited to perform at the 2022 ACM Honors ceremony in Nashville, where she honored fellow Canadian Shania Twain by singing Twain's "No One Needs to Know."
Smith is experiencing success on the country radio charts with his most recent song, "World on Fire." This track comes after his initial hit, "Whiskey on You," which reached the top spot on the charts.
