It’s been more than a year since Canada’s Royal Couple, Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne, got married in France. They actually got married on Canada Day in 2013, so they’ve been married now just shy of 13 months. So it’s as good a time as any for Avril to show off her one-year anniversary present from Chad – he gifted her with a 17 carat, emerald-cut diamond ring. Avril posted a photo with the message: “I still can’t believe my 1 year anniversary gift. 17 carat emerald cut. Wow. I love my hubby.”
I’d forgotten that Chad is a major jewelry-gifter when it comes to Avril. I don’t actually know if it’s Avril-specific or he’s always laid out major cash for all of the ladies in his life. But Chad has already given Avril a 14-carat, pear-shaped diamond engagement ring, plus he gave her 20-carat emerald ring on their wedding day. Sigh… for her? Really? What’s weird is that I went through the photos we have of Avril from the past year, and she rarely (if ever) wears her engagement ring or the emerald ring. I can’t find any photos of her wearing the emerald ring, on red carpets or in candid shots. I guess she’s worn her engagement ring a few times, but it’s probably much too big for daily wear. (Still, if I had a rock that big, I would wear that sh-t EVERYWHERE.)
So here’s my question to you, gentle readers: would you bang a guy like Chad Kroeger if it meant you would get lots of gorgeous jewelry? I mean, in the past three years, he’s given her three major rings. You could just lay back and look at your jewelry, banging-wise, you know? I don’t think I could make it three years. But a year for two really great diamond rings (caveat: NO PEAR-SHAPED DIAMONDS)? I could probably do that. Does that make me sound like a whore? Whatever, you guys. I have strong feelings about jewelry.
That’s her engagement ring… (ugly, right?)

WTF? Why do people have this much money? I’m a jewelry whore, but two near 20 carat rings? She’s no Liz Taylor.
The quality must be crap. My jeweler says that the stories about celeb bling are exaggerated. I believe that. I love jewelry and top quality stones are extremely rare and expensive.
I find jewelry that large to be ostentatious and tacky. And very desperate. I wouldn’t wear more than a couple of carats.
He seems to be a nice man so maybe….. As for Avril, can not stand her! Ever since the spitting episode a number of years ago. I just consider her a nasty piece of work
Wait, what?? I’ve always irrationally disliked her but this makes me hate her now. What happened??
She was photographed and also filmed spitting on some paparazzi . Also her husband at the time also did the same thing. Classy
Actually he has a reputation for not being so nice. If interested Google his reputation with his band mates, fans, journalists and photographers.
+1. His reputation and past documented behavior is anything but “nice”. Apparently, she has a rep for behaving rudely also. And what is that on her head, a crown of thorns, beezlebub style?
My brother met them and apparently he was really nice. Extremely stoned, but nice. He let them tour his house, too, which was pretty cool.
Ahahahah where the heck did you hear that Chad is a nice man? He’s a MEGA douchebag. They’re actually very well matched, attitude/behavior wise, I think.
Oh, I didn’t know that! Well he can just just give me a diamond and shake my hand then
Fair enough! I’ll take one as well. We can just have some Lysol wipes ready for after the hand shaking.
Lol i met him once a while ago- he was super nice! Another band mate was a total ass though.
He maybe a nice man but he never made it as a wiseman.
Hahaha that’s perfect!!!
Coffee, meet nose. Well played @adrien. Well played.
Amazing.
hahaha you got it
He is an @sshole – when they first started out they played a show in my small town in South Louisiana ( I had free tickets – no judging haha) – when the show was over he threw an unopened water bottle into the crowd – It hit me in the back of the head and almost knocked me out! As in it dropped me to the floor and it burst and water was everywhere! People were freaking out (I was just stunned) – the club owner apologised and his manager apologised but nothing from him – he was/is a douche.
I have so much hate for Nickleback.
Isn’t that assault? What a turd
I don’t even want to know the source of those but no, I wouldn’t touch him with a 50 foot poll to get those tacky, gaudy doorknobs.
*pole, of course
I wouldn’t touch him with a poll nor a pole either!
I don’t care for jewelry in the expensive sense – I like shiny colorful things. Plastic jewelry suits me fine, and I don’t have to date Chad “never made it as a wise man” Kroger to get that.
MARIGOLD totally agree. Every time I see his face I think it’s upside down.
Is that her real hair or extensions? She should update her look.
She thinks she’s permanently 18. I believe she’s 30.
Yeah, nothing in the word could make me have sex with Chad Kroeger. Just thinking about Chad Kroeger having sex with anyone makes my lady parts shrivel up and die a tiny bit.
amen…Nothing …All Id have to do if proposed is think of that curly fried long hair he had and his douchy Rock Music: Instant Libido killer
@raptor
Or die totally.
I don’t care about jewelry, but any jewelry present on planet Earth would not be enough to convince me I’ve to sleep with that guy! yuck!
I’m no spring rose but the man is busted. All the jewelry is gilding the lily. No thanks–I’ll buy my own if I want it.
You win the internets today with this comment.
Google his face BEFORE the numerous cosmetic surgeries. He looks like a completely different person now. Dude used to looked like a condor with a bad perm.
as long as the ring is big enough to hold up and cover his entire face with, I don’t see why she wouldn’t love it ;o)
because his face…no thanks…
and I haven’t heard anything about him as a person, but I’m sure he is just as insufferable as she is in real life.
They’re perfect for each other, IMO. Two dopes with a lot of cash playing dressup and not really interested in helping anyone but themselves.
Who the hell is buying that much crap music so that he can afford that jewelry?!
I sit next to a guy at work that traveled to Moncton last year (6 HOUR DRIVE) to see that idiot perform his ‘music’. Honest to god – 6 hours for that.
You can bet he was mocked mercilessly by myself.
That’s what I was wondering, too. From what I recall Nickelback only had one huge hit.
I remember “Photograph”, “Animals”, and “This is How (You Remind Me)”. But it’s like U2–I’ve seen people pay DISGUSTING amounts of money to see them. We’re talking north of $300! Freddie Mercury better be coming back from beyond for me to spend $300 on a show.
Omg I would totally spend $300 to see Freddie Mercury perform live.
Well, he does have a questionable reputation with women. Okay I’ll stop sugar coating, he’s a pig.
Her engagement ring is ug. I’d rather have a more modest diamond that actually looks decent. Instead he’s buying whatever just so he/she can say it’s omg 14 carats. But I guess I shouldn’t except either of them to have good taste.
Yeah, the carat count doesn’t help anything, because what’s the point if it’s this tacky? These two are the prime example of “money can’t buy you good taste”!
I would not bang Chad Kroger, period. Not only is he the most physically unappealing man in music( and that is saying something) his douche factor is right at 100%.
I would bang him. In the face with a phone book if he came near me. Jesus, they are yucky as hell.
Way too big and gaudy, but the engagement ring is even uglier. I love nice jewelry, but diamonds that large are just flashy and vulgar.
Agree. It’s down there with Kim K.’s ring IMO! Ugh!!!!
Both are gawdy and tacky. You can choose who or what I am referring to.
So funny!
lmao & I agree
Canada here.
These two are not even blips on the radar here. If I didn’t read about them here, I’d never hear about them. PLEASE stop calling them Canada’s Royal Couple.
Lol 😀 I can feel your pain!
Sorry, but if we have to live with Kim and Kanye being called “America’s Royal Couple”, you are going to have to live with this duo being dubbed Canada’s. 😉
Canada here as well. I was going to say that agreed the rings are awesome and totally worth holding your nose for 2 or 3 years for but I don’t really listen to Nickleback and didn’t know that Chad was a miserable person. With regard to being Canadian Music Royalty – eh, not really…it’s true they aren’t on the radar.
Damn right I would! My legs would be in the air before you could say ‘maple syrup’. (And I’ve never seen an ugly diamond)
Mnn, no. First of all I hate rings that big, I think they’re kinda kitsch. But of course I would accept them.. and then maybe selling them again.
Never thought they would last a year.. congrats, I guess.
my only question is “what nail polish is she wearing and where can I get it?
I think it might be Chanel Steel…
Julep Cleopatra looks similar, that’s a latex finish black.
OPI Gwen Stefani – 4 In The Morning is a black satin that looks very similar.
What a unattractive man😬 I wouldn’t care how big the diamonds are he is gross but so is she.
The real question isn’t “would you bang this guy for the jewelry?” The real question is “would you listen to a year of Nickelback concerts for the jewelry?” And the answer is a resounding no.
Excellent point.
When she smiles, she does that thing you have to do at the dentist, when he tells you to bite down. Your back teeth and front teeth are aligned. It looks like she is an alligator clamping down on its prey.
It’s shocking and nauseating that he can afford to buy that kind of jewelry. I too only thought they only had like one hit a decade ago. Let’s all just hope she’s barren or he’s sterile. (And pray for no duets from them)
He looks like a skeevy drama teacher I had who was a little too friendly with his students. And I will add, “no” to pear shaped diamonds. Her engagement ring looks like a cocktail ring that belongs on a much older lady.
No. But I wouldn’t want a huge diamond anyway. I can only picture it being heavy and getting snagged on stuff.
They are not Canadas royal couple. He comes from the same province as me but thats it. They are both disgusting.He pulled attitude here for a charity event last year. They should just go away.
That top pic of them…he looks yummy
from dlisted – “any diamond purchased with Nickelback money is a conflict diamond.” hahaha!
Yes. Yes I would be in it for the jewelry. No shame here. I would also encourage him to change it up and add some gemstones to the mix.
I dont get where he gets all the money??? I have a 4 carat diamond and it was expensive and there’s no way he paid less than $500k for that ugly thing she’s wearing now. Its not like he’s this HUGE rockstar.
As a Canadian I object to them being nicnamed our Royal Couple! Come ON! give us a break lol
Those two are yesterday’s has-beens here in Canada. Both top of the douche meter and nobody pays any attention to them. She’s only been touring in Japan because apparently she still has a fan base there. Look up Gyaru, Ganguro and Decora and you’ll understand why they still like her.
I like her. She’s got a nice voice and is a decent songwriter. At least she dosen’t lip sinc her butt off or use auto-tune like so many of the artists out there. I have to plug my ears when I listen to Kanye because his “singing” voice is so machine manufactured. It wasn’t that long ago there was a video of Bieber getting sick onstage and his “voice” just kept on going. Half the singers would be washed up if it wasn’t for those devises. I’ve seen Avril and Nickleback on seperate occasions and enjoyed their shows.
Me too. 🙂 I also like her for the fact she didn’t turn herself into what she was told she should be to sell her music but stood her ground and still succeeded. And Nickleback had a few decent songs as far as I remember (haven’t listened to them recently). Overall, I do appreciate her strength of character and he doesn’t look even remotely unpleasant to me. They don’t bother me with themselves all the time, are not fame w.ores, are not everywhere around me, so in my book they are much better than most entertainers these days.
Really? I saw her live in June (opening for BSB, hells yeah!) and she was terrible. She just yelled into the microphone. I was surprised because I do enjoy her first two albums and I thought she could sing better than that. I assumed that maybe her voice doesn’t carry well so she has to yell. (BSB was amazing, BTW. They did an acoustic set too. Their voices truly are beautiful)
I am Canadian. They are definitely not the “Royal Couple” here. I would call them the whiny, screechy couple.
Avril is a natural born stunner. Chad is a lucky man. They are worth over a 100 million. The interest alone will buy much more than jewelry. They say haters have lower IQ.s than most
