Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroger engaged.

I thought her taste couldn't get any worse, after she was married to the guy from SUM 41.

Also? I thought she was still dating Brody Jenner. I'm so out of the loop.




Commence the jokes about crappy music.

Whoa, Canada!

Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne's upcoming fifth studio album.

"A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE.

On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler.

"He makes her so happy," a family source tells PEOPLE. "Both of their families could not be more excited."

It will be Kroeger's first trip down the aisle, and the second marriage for Lavigne, who split from Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2009. She had also dated Brody Jenner.

To each their own I guess. I'm kinda like "eew" though.

[pinkeggs]

I totally thought she was still dating Brody. Huh.

Also 14 carats on her? Another huh.

[runforrest]

I feel sorry for their non-existant, future children. So much awful taste in their genes.

Twitter has been phenomenally funny about this tonight. But then I got distracted by the reason Prince Harry is trending right now (nakey Vegas pics!).....so what were we talking about?

[emmybean]

Jesus. I thought chad Kroger was the dude from creed. Somehow, the fact that he's just the nickelback dude is comforting.

Which makes me very sad on a whole different level.

Um he looks really strange and old now.

And wasn't he married to a woman named Marianne before? So wouldn't this be a second marriage for him?

Six months I think their still in the lust stage. But I still wanna see pics for the ring though.

They were engaged. It was a common law marriage.

Um, they are both kinda gross.
We ran into chad at a bar in Cabo a few years back and he acted like he owned the place, it was hilarious.

Also 14 carats?! Yikes. That's a big ring.

[overture]

LOL at being in lust with Chad Kroeger. Ger-ross.

A local DJ here said he looks like a Jesus Muppet. That seems pretty accurate.
