In what may come as surprising news, pop singer Avril Lavigne is engaged to Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback. This counts as surprising for a few reasons, namely because no one even knew they had been dating…and only for six months, for that matter. Read more about the news and see a photo of the couple by clicking here!


The pair apparently met in February, when they collaborated on a song for Lavigne’s new album. The dating started soon thereafter, and then Kroger proposed to her earlier this month.

This will be Avril’s second marriage (she was previously hitched to Sum 41′s frontman) and Chad’s first. Avril also dated Brody Jenner for two years, and has a tattoo of his name on her side. There isn’t any news about the ceremony itself, but I’m sure these two Canadian musicians will make it interesting! [via CNN]
