Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger’s marriage crisis: they’re ‘fighting more than ever’

avril1

What will happen to our Canadian friends up north if they no longer have any cultural trainwrecks to mock? Mayor Rob Ford is headed to rehab. Justin Bieber spends most of his time in the US. And now there’s gossip that the First Couple of Canada, Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, might be over. NO!! To be fair, this is from Star. So it probably isn’t true. But to be fair to Star, it’s Avril and Chad. I still don’t know how they even got together in the first place.

Avril Lavigne is having major issues with her husband of less than one year, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. The couple, who famously have a strict set of marital rules that include no drinking or clubbing when they’re apart, have been fighting more than ever.

“When they first got together, Avril wore the pants,” reveals a close friend. “But Chad has reverted back to his old ways and doesn’t check in with her like he used to.”

No word of a split yet, but Avril made her feelings loud and clear when she was photographed shopping in Malibu on April 17 without her wedding ring.

See, I don’t have any problem believing this. Chad and Avril made such a big deal about how they were “changing” for one another and Avril was really going to curb Chad’s sketchy ways and then it only lasted for a year or so? Sounds about right.

Chad and Avril did step out together a few days ago – go here to see the photos. They’re together physically, which I guess helps repudiate some of the rumors. But then again, they look sort of miserable. And if you told me that Avril looked knocked up… well, I would agree with you. Maybe that’s how their marriage will be saved (for one more year): she’ll get pregnant. Honestly, I would prefer that to Avril focusing more energy on her racist career.

    Can we send them back to canada with justin bieber

    • Erinn says:

      Sorry, we included some fine print about our no return policy.

      But for serious – I was just looking at a list of famous Canadian celebs (half I didn’t even know were from here) and we actually have some pretty cool people. But, you know, the Avril’s, Chad’s and Justin’s kind of overshadow the others. Shame, really.

      I remember as a kid finding out some super famous people were Canadian and just thinking it was the weirdest thing ever – because in my head all celebs had to be American since I subsided mainly on American tv.

        Greatest Canadian of all time, Martin Short. *drops mic and walks away*

        @Tiffany

        Michael J. Fox too, if I don’t remember wrong…..

        The late, great John Candy a.k.a. The Gentle Giant.

        Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchel, Tiegan and Sarah, Sarah Mclaghlan, Ellen Page, William Shatner, Keanu Reeve. Tantoo Cardinal, Even Penny, Eric Fischl, Neil Young, DOA, to name just a few Canadians

      • Nanea says:

        How could anyone leave out Keanu from that list of Fab Canadians?

        *shakes head reproachfully*

        Edited to add: Oh, Narak remembered! Good!

      • mimif says:

        Youngbloods forever!

      • TheOriginalTiffany says:

        Not my cup of tea, but don’t leave out Celine Dion.

      • Danskins says:

        Don’t forget about hottie rapper Drake!

  2. Dani2 says:

    His face is so confusing to me, I don’t understand it at all.

  3. epiphany says:

    These two are a joke on either side of the border. However, not wearing one’s wedding ring doesn’t constitute a marital crisis. I often go without mine, and I adore my hubs!

  4. daisyfly says:

    So he’s combatting aging by pulling his skin so far back he’s blinking his nostrils, while she’s shopping at Hot Topic for Kidz and adding more MAC black track fluidline to her eyes. And they both believe they can make the other change.

    Sounds like a healthy marriage rooted firmly in reality.

  5. Ange says:

    This is what happens when you marry someone you barely know. And you’re a douchelord.

    • Krista says:

      Made me laugh! Douchelord is immediately going into my repertoire.

      Also, the honeymoon stage is not for life people! Get it together with your quickie weddings then divorces.

    • Snazzy says:

      DOUCHELORD!!

  6. NewWester says:

    If they are sent back to Canada along with Justin, there must be some deserted island in the Arctic they can go to? The only problem is that I would not want to scare any innocent polar bear or arctic wolf that wanders by.

  7. poppy says:

    he has groupies.
    *shudders*

    • mimif says:

      I used to live on the border between WA state & Canada, and Nickleback would frequently come into one of the last bars off the hwy before heading home. Total. Douchebags. Like, “you don’t know who I am?” kind of sh-t. My friend was the bar manager and she would purposely get them seven kinds of wasted just to make them get cut off & kicked out quicker. And yes, groupies!

    What Would Hello Kitty Do?

    • Hello Kitty says:

      I would say, ” No backsies” with Bieber. We won the semi-finals hockey game and the rules clearly stipulated that the loser keeps Bieber.

      • blue marie says:

        We’re going to drop him off at the border and then push him over and double stamp it. Cause you know you have to stamp it for the “no backsies” to stick

      • Meredith says:

        Didn’t you lose against Finland in the men’s olympic hockey final? Finland cannot make deals on Canada’s behalf even though we both have Artic ice flows. No “backsies”, no “double dog dares” or anything! He’s yours now. Best of luck from Hamilton, Ontario.

  9. allons-y alonso says:

    I had forgotten Nickleback existed. It was a magical time where my ears were free of shit-wank- rock. Screw you, Avril Lavigne! My ignorant bliss is now shattered.

    • whipmyhair says:

      I was traveling with some friends a few years back when I mentioned I didn’t like nickleback. All of a sudden four of them all professed their love of nickleback.

      I never looked at them the same way. I don’t really see them anymore, I’m sure it’s a coincide 🙂

  10. lassie says:

    She must have to replace her pillow cases and washcloths frequently, as that’s all the eyeliner that is…

  11. escondista says:

    Maybe they had an honest discussion about each other’s singing abilities.

    • mimif says:

      Let’s just hope they never publicly renew their love by releasing a duet together.

      • Nanea says:

        But there is one out already, no idea of the title though. It came on the radio over here once or twice while I was on a ladder doing housework and couldn’t switch it off. Awful stuff.

      • Isadora says:

        That’s why I never ever listen to radio. I was blissfully unaware.

    • Rie526 says:

      Wait! Hahaha! I’m dying of laughter!!!

  12. Cari says:

    No one can ever say Avril marries men for their good looks……….

  13. Patricia says:

    If you don’t trust your spouse to go out on his or her own, have a few drinks with friends, have a good time and remain faithful to you then you have majorrr problems from the start.
    I know people like this, so controlling of their spouses. It’s not a good sign. I’m not saying I’m a perfect wife in a perfect marriage, but I don’t worry about my husband just because he’s drinking. I trust him!
    These two were doomed from the start if they needed “rules” like this just to feel comfortable.

  14. eliza says:

    Wouldn’t you fight too if you were both competing for the title of “Worst Music Ever”?

  15. Maya Memsaab says:

    Love is blind. Especially when you’ve got that much eyeliner on.

  16. Dani says:

    I can’t believe there is someone on this earth who actually likes Nickleback.

  17. Seapharris7 says:

    Either shes tweaking her face or its just becoming fuller because she’s put on some weight… & maybe a baby

  18. aenflex says:

    I used to love her. Way, way back in the day. Sigh.

  19. Irishserra says:

    I wonder if she is Duchess Kate’s makeup inspiration.

  20. Lisa says:

    Nonsense. Canadians don’t fight.

  21. SnarkGirl says:

    Believe it or not, there was a time way back when Nickelback made good music, and Chad Kroger didn’t look like an epic douche.

    Waaaay back.

    I don’t know why the shift came, but they went from making real rock to touchy-feely “we’re going to inspire change!” crap. It was about the same time Chad went from looking like a rock Jesus to this primped & highlighted wimp.

    Avril should have been a one-hit wonder. When she was young & could actually pull off the punk princess look she had a couple of not-awful songs. Not good music, but not awful. How she stretched it all this long is beyond me.

    And no, we don’t want them back. Maybe these two plus Beibs can be sent along with that mission to Mars?

    • littlestar says:

      The Nickleback song “Leader of Men” is SO good. They really did have some good songs back when they first started out. But when they hit it big with “How You Remind Me”, Kroeger realized formulaic rock songs were what was going to make him a lot of money and that’s what he continued putting out from that point on. Sadly, many people like rhymey schmimey songs over songs that are not blatantly literal.

      • Isadora says:

        I never heard that song so I looked it up. Damn…. I’m suddenly 13/14 years old again. I have forgotten that this was quite the sound we listened to back then haha…

    • anon33 says:

      NICKELBACK WAS NEVER GOOD. NEVER NEVER NEVER.

  22. Side-Eye says:

    Could we not call Avril racist when the audience who apparently were supposed to be offended weren’t? Other than that I have nothing for these hacks.

  23. Yeti says:

    I don’t get these two idiots. But they seem to belong together

  24. Jgb979 says:

    At least the music hasn’t suffered………..

    /single biggest lie ever told on the internet.
