Mod Sun seems to be enjoying the single life following his separation from Avril Lavigne five months ago. Recently, the “Karma” musician was spotted sharing a kiss with model Sahara Ray, although the photo has since been removed from her Instagram Story. However, Page Six managed to capture a screenshot before it disappeared. But according to an exclusive source, the kiss was nothing more than a casual moment. The insider revealed that Mod Sun is relishing his newfound freedom after being in a relationship for years. They confirmed that he is currently not involved with anyone romantically. Despite reaching out for comments, representatives have not responded to Page Six’s request.
It appears that Mod Sun and Sahara Ray have been spending time together lately. Ray shared a video on her social media over the weekend, showing her sunbathing on Mod Sun’s back patio while he painted. The two were also seen enjoying a group dinner with friends, where OnlyFans model Sahara Ray captured a video of Mod Sun sitting next to her with a smile on his face. Additionally, exclusive photos obtained by Page Six show the pair out and about in West Hollywood on a Saturday night. Mod Sun was photographed driving Sahara and another friend down the Sunset Strip, and Sahara even flashed a grin at the paparazzi from the passenger seat.
It is worth mentioning that Sahara Ray was previously linked to Justin Bieber in 2016 when they were spotted skinny dipping in Hawaii. On the other hand, this is the first time Mod Sun has been linked to any romantic rumors since his engagement to Avril Lavigne was called off in February. According to his representative at the time, the breakup came as a complete surprise to him as they were together and engaged just three days before he left for his tour. The couple had been dating for over a year, and Mod Sun proposed to Lavigne in Paris in March 2022. Following their split, Lavigne was reportedly linked to Tyga, although they also called it quits in June. However, their breakup appears to be amicable as they have been seen together after the news broke.
