Known to be camera shy, Avril's South African boyfriend tried to dodge flashing lenses when the two emerged from their car together at Carnivore early this week.

Looking a bit terrified when our paparazzi caught the two flat-footed, the young investor opted to let Avril's hand free and instead remained clutching her clutch bag as the two approached the red carpet during the glitzy MCSK awards ceremony. However, the two were a jovial pair and they looked quite an item as they mingled with fellow celebrities to enjoy the thrills of the day.
