Looks like Avril Lavigne will have to find herself a brand-new skater boy.

The rocker has split from her boyfriend of nearly two years, Brody Jenner, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.

Calling it quits last week, Lavigne, 27, and Jenner, 26, clashed over how to balance their relationship with their individual career pursuits.

"Every time he wanted to come back and take meetings to get his career back in order, she would make him go to Asia and Europe," an insider tells Us of Lavigne, who released her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, in March 2011, and helms her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn.

Former Hills star Jenner, says the source, felt held back by his girlfriend.

"He hasn't worked and he wants to. They were both unhappy because he wants to have his career, she wants him to stay with her," argues the insider, adding that Lavigne vetoed multiple TV show offers Jenner recently received.

Dating Lavigne since spring 2010, Jenner has been open about showing his affection. In August 2010, he shaved the letter 'A' into the side of his head, shortly after he reportedly inked his girlfriend's name on his left forearm.

Despite their split, the source close to the couple isn't ruling out a reconciliation.

PHOTS: Friendly exes

"There is always a chance they will get back together," says the source. "Brody is trying to set the ground rules and wants to be able to work. They have to find a balance."

A rep for Lavigne -- who split from husband of three years Deryck Whibley in 2009 -- had no comment.

    Again with the fact-checking problems. Brody Jenner is 28 and Avril Lavigne is 27. They were 26 and 25 when they started dating.

    Wouldnt blame the girl for wanting him close. He is a dog. Glad this relationship is over....at least for her sake. Once a cheater, always a cheater, isnt that how the saying goes? Then again, we are all outsiders and have no clue what the heck goes on in these peoples' lives.

    What 'career'? He has no life except to sponge off everyone around him!!! Him and his brother was always causing problems in his mother and David Foster's marriage as a bum and a conceited selfish lazy sponge...Good riddance Avril, you're much better off without that loser! Continue with your 'CAREER' and move on from the dead weight!

    she seems to be a control freak....can't stand her. she is a brat and Brody can do better. SHe is a small anorexic ugly little girl. Nasty attitude i hear from people....she thinks the world revolves around her.

    Actually Michael HE can do better. She is indeed the word Anna said and seems very immature for her age. Her outfits and overall character tell a lot of that. She seems to be the one who cannot hold a relationship. She filed for divorce from Deryck and she obviously broke up with Brody.

    Avril was always a biotch anyway!

  • January 16, 2012 - 7:09pm Michael Curd

    They were always an odd couple - and Avril could do SO much better too! Give me a call, Av! ;D
