Sources said Lavigne and Sarofim started dating after meeting through friends at a dinner party. The couple reportedly split their time between each other's respective homes.
Entertainment Tonight said Lavigne and Sarofim were first linked in April. The singer was spotted wearing a red dress and sunglasses as she and Sarofim grabbed coffee together in Los Angeles.
Sarofim is the son of Coptic American businessman Fayez Sarofim, the heir to the Sarofim family fortune. Fayez is a fund manager for several Dreyfus family stock funds, an original shareholder of Kinder Morgan and part owner of the NFL team Houston Texans.
Sarofim was previously married to Lori Krohn, while Lavigne was wed to Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. Lavigne was last linked to music producer J.R. Rotem in the fall.
