Avril Lavigne has revealed her engagement to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. The pair have been dating for just six months.
The surprise union came about after the duo worked on new songs for Avril's new solo album, due for release next year.
Speaking to People magazine, a source said: "A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together."
It is reported that 'How You Remind Me' star Kroeger proposed on August 8, handing Avril a 14-carat diamond engagement ring. The families of both Chad and Avril "could not be more excited" according to People's source.
This will be Kroeger's first marriage but the second for Avril, who was married to Sum 41 singer Derryck Whibley from 2006-2009.
Earlier this week Nickelback hit the headlines when they revealed their brand new music video, starring Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander.
