The 'Complicated' singer, who bought the palatial property in 2006, sold the 12,184 square-foot, eight bedroom, ten bathroom home to Los Angeles Clippers basketball star Chris Paul, reported TMZ Online.

The home features a two-storey foyer, dual offices, a ten-car garage, a wine cellar, large gym with bath and sauna, laundry and staff quarters and a private courtyard. Lavigne, 27, and Whibley, 31, split in 2010 after four years of marriage but despite their break-up, she insists the pair will always be very close.

"I have a lot of respect for him as an artist. He's one of the most talented people I know. He did an awesome job on my album. We're very good friends. He's family to me. We both respect and care for each other very much. We're in a great place," Lavigne said.

The singer is currently dating reality TV star Brody Jenner.
