Avril Lavigne shocked the entertainment world yesterday with the announcement that she and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger are getting married.
The couple co-wrote a song in February for Avril’s upcoming album but very few people knew that they were collaborating in more ways than one.
A friend of the Canadian artists said, “A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together.”
Chad, 37, popped the question on August 8 with a 14-carat diamond ring. A family source said, “He makes her so happy. Both of their families could not be more excited.”
This will be the first marriage for him and the second for her. Lavigne’s three year marriage to Deryck Whilby ended in 2009.
