Back in May, there were some stories about Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger’s barely year-old marriage being in significant trouble. The stories died quickly, and Chad and Avril made it to their one-year anniversary. Chad gifted Avril with a huge 17-carat diamond ring to celebrate the milestone. But now it’s looking like Avril and Chad probably won’t make it to their second anniversary.
Avril Lavigne and husband Chad Kroeger are reportedly ‘headed for a split’ after just 14 months of marriage.
‘It’s over,’ a source said in the September 29 edition of Us Weekly. ‘He has been going around L.A. and telling people that they’re divorcing.’
On August 30, the 29-year-old pop-punk diva wasn’t wearing her wedding ring as she left the Chateau Marmont with gal pals. And after gushing over the 17-carat diamond ring her 39-year-old beau bought her for their anniversary in July, Avril mysteriously deleted her tweet.
The rocking lovebirds – who have a combined net worth of $105 million – are now mostly missing from each other’s Twitter and Instagram feeds.
‘Chad is just a complete jerk in the way he talks to her, and the way he talks to people in general,’ a Lavigne pal told the mag. ‘A lot of her friends don’t like him.’
However, a third source was more optimistic: ‘There’s no concrete timeline for divorce right now.’
The Canadian crooners famously got engaged one month after recording the eight-time Grammy nominee’s aptly-titled duet, Let Me Go. Avril and the Nickelback frontman tied the knot before 110 guests at the Château de la Napoule on the French Riviera following an 11-month engagement.

I just spent way too much time scrolling through Avril’s Twitter feed to see if that was true. It looks like it is, I can’t find any mention of Chad in the past few months. Huh. Of course, I’ve always thought that while their coupling was random and weird, it was probably high on crazy DRAMZ, because both of them are overgrown teenagers. This could just be an “OMG, I AM SO OVER YOU” cycle just before they make up and he buys her another huge ring. I’m just saying… stay with it a little bit longer, girl. He might give you something nice for Christmas.

These two (and the Biebs) make me ashamed to be Canadian… 🙁
Question of the day: Who would you rather be stranded on a island with? Chad and Avril or Bieber? I personally would choose Biebs . At least with Bieber I know there would be a good supply of pot so I could numb the pain. Chad and Avril with their fighting or worse having sex would make me want to take my chances with sharks in the water
I’d actually take Chad and Avril. I think they’d be entitled and crabby, but they would comprehend that I don’t exist to serve them.
I suspect Bieber would have a big ol’ “does not compute” moment every time I declined to rearrange the universe to suit him.
Bieber. Hide the weed, kick him into the ocean. Enjoy the green all to myself.
I’d take the Biebs. He would spend most of the time trying to impress me w/his hunting, starting a fire, fishing, building a hut skills (NOT!) all the while walking like his muscles are so big he has to hold his arms away from his body. I can totally picture this…highly entertaining.
Later, when he failed at everything and it was getting dark and cold and he was hungry, he would cry. I would probably have to have him sit on my lap and rock him to sleep. Shhh….it’s okay little Biebs.
But I’m always thankful that you gave us Anne Murray and Shania Twain! Yeah my folks listened to a lot of Anne when I was a kid. Her voice is soo soothing.
Dislike them too, very much to be honest, but COME ON. I am european and have strangely fantasized about your country like forever.
I so wished to be up there in the woods, with the high trees, crystal clear lakes (imagine a helicopter flight at the beginning of a movie over the wilderness of these beautiful landscapes)
Sigh.
If you ever come to Canada 237, you must consider visiting Jasper or Banff (or anywhere in the Rockies really)! It will completely fulfill your fantasy of what our country looks like :). But of course I’m a biased former Albertan lol.
LMAO!!! That comment killed me.
I’m saddened by the possible break up of these two though. They were the perfect douchey couple and I thought they would be able to contain their douchiness amongst themselves. The thought that they may now unleash their doucheness into the world is stomach churning.
BTW – Avril was never punk. Just because she sticks out her tongue like a 5 year old doesn’t make her punk.
“Avril was never punk. Just because she sticks out her tongue like a 5 year old doesn’t make her punk.”
Thank you, from one who believes (and is committed to living) in the true Punk philosophy.
She tried to make it as a country star first but that failed miserably. So then we ended up with this. If only the world new what a poseur she is. Prep is wannabe punk clothing.
You guys can keep her please!
The dress in that first photo is awful…
I LOVE that dress.
I know! It makes her look enormous when she’s actually tiny. The idea of it is interesting but the execution is a failure.
If that white panel were smaller than the black panels, it would work. I actually have a peplum top that looks almost exactly like that, but with the black being the larger color blocks. This makes her look like she has a food baby when she is actually super thin.
“food baby” *snort*
Cruella de Vil….
Agreed. I never got the fascination with this brat.
I saw her once in person at the Eloise store at the Plaza in NYC and she looked awful. Smeared black eyeliner with greasy hair piled up a semi bun. Believe me, you wouldn’t have given her a first, let alone a second, look in person.
Nothing says punk like selling wedding photos to a tabloid.
Internet winz. ^^^
Or a 17carat dimond ring…
I agree. 17 carats is Kardashian ostentatiously obnoxious to begin with, but especially from someone who poses as a “punk.” LOL!!! Ridiculous and hypocritical.
Nothing says punk like “I’m With You” “sk8er boi.” Lol.
What? You mean a man known for being an asshat, and a ‘woman’ who insists on behaving like a petulant child might not have a smooth marriage?
AND they’ve known each other for a month before they got engaged? no red flags there.
I’m disappointed. I thought they’d be forever-ever.
All this time they were pretending, so much for their happy ending.
I’m going to go crawl into a hole now….
@sigh((s))
<<<<<<<<< The door is thataway. 😛
(actually, I loved your comment!) 😃
I am terrified! Can you just IMAGINE how horrible the break up songs will be? And we will get it from BOTH of them! Ugh….I am already cringing in anticipation.
LMAO!!!
Thank God we still of Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello or else I’d think love is completely DEAD.
I am so sincerely heartbroken… True Love isn’t sacred anymore😭😭😭
Who would’ve thought the world’s douchiest couple couldn’t make a go of it. Chad Kroeger should be bagging groceries at your local safeway, Avril needs to reapply for that part-time job at Hot Topics.
Freddie Mercury is rolling in his grave seeing what being a “rock star” has degenerated to.
This outcome seems to be expected. The whole marriage didn’t appear to be thought out… At all.
+124
I don’t then even THEY thought it would last. I chalked it all up to pubilicty stunt to maintain relevance. When they got engaged, Lainey Gossip touted this coupling as Canada’s royal couple. What?! Now if Seth Rogan and Mike Meyers ever got together, that would be a Canadian royal couple.
Lainey was being facetious. We Canadians are living through producing these two and Beiber. No false pride here.
Ah… sigh… Sk8er Boi came out at just the right time in my life for me to really appreciate it.
I can’t help but think of Avril fondly…
Who will get custody of the skull collection?
Ha!
Won’t somebody please think of skull collection?????
That ring is so tacky.
It WAS! But I would guess if she married Nickelback, she probably doesn’t have the best taste.
Celebrities have ruined the marriage and family values here in America. As role models, they make it okay to divorce at least once every 6 months and to pop out babies with whomever the hell they want a baby with.
nah… i think people make those sort of decisions for themselves. and it’s nothing new. i see examples of this all the time at work. people who are now in their 60s and 70s (sometimes older) are on wife or husband #4, 5, kids everywhere, many of whom they abused horribly both mentally and physically. that marriage was somehow “better” before people who wanted a divorce could get one freely and before gay people could marry, and that everyone had “family values” (whatever that means), is a myth, a figment of the imagination conjured up by disillusioned segments of the population who yearn for the “REAL america” that never existed.
I think a lot of it comes down to people getting married for the wrong reasons anymore. That fuzzy, lovey head in the clouds feeling isnt the sole key to a lifetime relationship and commitment. and those are the people actually getting married anymore.
I agree wholeheartedly @Ag.
Somewhat on topic, anytime someone I knows says or posts something about how people no longer fight for marriages, my first response (in my head) is, “ummm, you realize there was a long period where it was illegal to divorce? There was a period of time in which the only reason women could file for divorce was if their husband committed adultery, and it had to be proven. ”
People don’t know history well, I know I didn’t give specifics, but I’ve done a lot I’d research and studied it formamshort time.
I could go on for hours.
Except these two are Canadians and have long lost any influence on our culture except as laughing stocks. There is less than zero relevance to this breakup . It’s just two d-bags divorcing.
All my friends who are divorced, got married really quickly within 1-2 years in the rose-colored glasses honeymoon phase. They never truly got to know the other person until AFTER they were married and then they were like ohhh wow this is awful. Marriage isn’t taken seriously by Americans in general, everyone is doing it, so why don’t we scenario. Why I am 33 and not married yet (even though I have had a bf of 7 years). It is a serious commitment and nothing to be taken lightly.
Marriage is being taken very lightly these days. One of my brother’s friends got married to a girl that he knew for only a month. They’ve been married for a couple years now, and now there’s a kid involved. I know it won’t last, because the husband keeps trying to get me to go out with him.
@Andrea … Which speaks more to their attitude towards relationships, and perhaps behaviour in general, than the causation of divorce. If they jump into situations, they are more likely to jump in to marriage. If it looks like a good idea for fun, it will like like a good idea to leave when it isn’t. I think personal attributes and character traits are more indicative than time together prior to marriage.
I married my husband 4 months after meeting him, we’ve been married for 15 years, and we have a pretty strong relationship. We are both decisive, committed, set goals, make sacrifices and respect each others individuality. I think we will bring those attributes to our marriage, since it is how we approach the other aspects of our life.
@supposedtobeworking…I have a friend like that married for 6 years and they got married at 8 months, but you both are anomalies, exceptions to rules. Most people who do such things are a car crash waiting to happen.
“Celebrities” haven’t ruined marriage…it is just what it has become in modern times. The failure rate of “normal person” marriage is around 50%, and that has nothing to do with what famous people are doing.
If you put that much stock in what celebrities are doing then I feel sorry for you.
Also they’re Canadian…so, nice try.
Well was the Avril reason he finally got a haircut and shaved?
And with deep shame… I have to admit… I like his band.
Yes, it is true I have a couple Nickelback CD’s. All the Right Reasons and Dark Horse.
Thankfully I am old as dirt. And allow to love those CD’s. I really miss fun sing along rock, that I loved in the 80’s. Def Leppard, Poison, Skid Row, Van Halen, Telsa, White Snake etc…. Nickelback fills that void for me.
That millipede on his chin is SO AWFUL! He looks almost normal with basic scruff.
OK WHOA, hold on a minute…
Nickelback is in no way reminiscent of ANY of the bands you named, ESPECIALLY Van Halen. Nickelback is frat rock. Don’t get it twisted.
Now, Godsmack, maybe…ok. But Nickelback?!?!?
I am also a hard rock/metal fan, but Nickelback?? NO WAY. If you are looking for something to fill that void check out Airbourne or Buckcherry. Nickelback?? Hold on while I get myself up off the the floor. Sorry, but UGH…
oh my lord, the piano pic is hilarious. WTF?
+1
I agree – Christmas is just around the corner!! Try for a big gaudy necklace or bracelet this time. Maybe stay through New Year’s to try and round out the set. Prison tatts and blue hair streaks don’t pay for themselves, sk8r gurl!
The most boring couple and now will have the most boring divorce.
His facial hair is completely unacceptable. It should be illegal.
Bless his heart. I really think that facial hair is there to give him a chin. I am thinking he has a weak jaw line. And a little beard will give an illusion of a stronger chin.
His Top Ramen hair was the best tho, and needs to be resurrected immediately.
OK, people. There is a difference between wanting to GET married and wanting to BE married.
So true
Which is why so many people are divorced IMO.
In my experience people get married when the relationship becomes dull or routine and all of their friends are married. What they really should do is break up thus saving the expense of divorce.
I concur.
Anyone.remember the facebook page where you had to vote for Nickelback or a pickle. And everyone picked the pickle. Nickelback had a public meltdown.
Surprise Surprise
How are they worth $105 million? I only know her from her break through hits back when she was a teenager – is she even still making music? And is his band really that big?
It was back in the day where people sold cd’s and people bought them.Also they both are listed as writers on their music and that is where they both made their money.
Why she went from Brody Jenner (who was not anything special in talent but at least was sexy) to chad is a mystery to me!
Both are less than stellar, that’s for sure.
The piano pic, chad looks confused. Is that a spider crawling up her hair?what am I doing with my life? Abril just looks bored.
Who didn’t see this coming? She really needs to stop getting married. She acts like a 14 year old.
