Nate Smith was seen spending time with pop-rock artist Avril Lavigne, but it seems that they are not in a romantic relationship. The two were spotted together in Los Angeles on Monday night (Jan. 29), but a reliable source connected to one of them has denied any romantic involvement.
They are simply acquaintances.
Both The Hollywood Curtain and TMZ released their own videos taken by paparazzi, showing Smith and Lavigne spending time together. The footage suggests that they engaged in an activity that is characteristic of Lavigne, who is known for her song "Sk8er Boi" – they went skateboarding.
A video from TMZ captures Lavigne getting out of the back of a black pickup truck at a gas station parking lot, holding a skateboard. Moments later, Smith appears, wearing his typical leather jacket and black baseball cap. He also has a skateboard, but it's evident that Lavigne is a much more experienced skater compared to him. She zooms past him on the sidewalk while he struggles to keep up, using the side of the truck for support.
A video from the Hollywood Curtain captures Smith and Lavigne leaving Catch Steak, a steakhouse in Los Angeles. It is uncertain if the two videos were filmed on the same night, but Smith and Lavigne are seen wearing similar clothing, except Lavigne had to take off her black hooded sweatshirt before leaving the restaurant.
According to TMZ, Smith and Lavigne were just having dinner together as friends, possibly to talk about new music collaborations.
It is not surprising that Lavigne is interacting with the country music community. During the 2023 CMA Fest, she joined Miranda Lambert on stage to perform "Kerosene" and "Sk8er Boi." Additionally, Lavigne was included in the lineup of performers at the 2022 ACM Honors ceremony in Nashville where she honored Shania Twain, a fellow Canadian, by singing "No One Needs to Know."
Regarding Smith, he is currently experiencing success on the country radio charts with his newest song, titled "World on Fire." This track comes after his initial hit, "Whiskey on You," which reached the top spot on the charts.
