Avril Lavigne Engaged To Chad Kroeger From Nickelback!

22 August 2012

Avril Lavigne has just announced that she's engaged to Chad Kroeger from Nickelback!

We definitely did not see this one coming. In fact we didn't even know they were dating!

According to People, Lavigne and Kroeger sparked up a romance while they were working together on material for Lavigne's new album but chose to keep their relationship private.

Is Zayn Malik leaving One Direction?

The engagement was officially confirmed on Nickelback's official Twitter page, before Avril retweeted the message.

"A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a friend of Lavigne's told the magazine.

Kroeger reportedly popped the question August 8, complete with a 14-carat diamond engagement ring.

Lavigne and Kroeger have yet to comment publicly on their relationship (apart from on Twitter).

This will be the second marriage for Lavigne. She was married to Sum 41's Deryck Whibley for three years before they divorced in 2009 before Avril went on to date Brody Jenner from The Hills. This is Chad's first marriage.

Maybe they'll make skater-boi pub rock babies together!
