Rockstar Romance: Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne’s Marriage and Divorce

Two rockstars, Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne, embarked on a journey that captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Their love story was a whirlwind romance filled with music, laughter, and a few bumps.

Chad Kroeger, the lead singer of Nickelback, and Avril Lavigne, the “Complicated” pop-punk princess, first met in 2012 while working on Lavigne‘s self-titled album. Sparks flew, and before anyone could say “Sk8er Boi,” the couple announced their engagement in August of that year. The proposal was nothing short of a fairytale, with Kroeger popping the question in the studio they’d been working in, using Lavigne‘s scrapbook to present her with a stunning 14-carat diamond ring.

The couple tied the knot on July 1, 2013, in a lavish ceremony in the South of France. The wedding was a star-studded affair, with about 50 guests in attendance. The festivities lasted until the early hours of the next morning, with an 11:30 p.m. fireworks display lighting up the Mediterranean sky as the newlyweds shared a passionate kiss.

However, as with many fairy tales, the honeymoon phase didn’t last forever. In September 2015, the couple announced their separation, stating that they would remain “the best of friends” and continue to support each other through thick and thin. Despite their split, Lavigne and Kroeger have remained close, with the latter even providing backing vocals on Lavigne‘s 2019 album “Head Above Water.”

In the years since their divorce, both Lavigne and Kroeger have found love again. Avril Lavigne became engaged to musician Mod Sun in April 2022, although they have since split. Chad Kroeger has kept a lower profile romantically but continues to tour with Nickelback.
