The “Bad Girl” singer couldn’t be happier for her younger sister and she took to Instagram to share the good news. Avril captioned the photo, “Congrats to my little sister Michelle and @ryota_0809 on their marriage. Wishing you both all the love and happiness in the world! ❤ #love #family.” And for those who think Avril is bitter after her now failed marriage—think again. It looks like the “Wish You Were Here” singer couldn’t be happier for her little sister!

Japanese pop star, Ryota, who is the bassist for the Japanese band, One Ok Rock, crossed paths with Avril long before they were in-laws. Avril and the band appeared on the same Japanese TV show in 2013 and crossed paths again when the band was performing at a concert in Canada last year. Their most recent encounter was when Avril sang vocals to the band’s song “Listen.”
