Chad Kroeger, the Nickelback frontman, Cartoon Lion-Canadian and romantic rogue who once penned the line "I like your pants around your feet", has proposed to Avril Lavigne, and in a shocking twist, she has accepted.
A representative for Lavigne broke the news to PEOPLE magazine, stating the pair have been dating for the past six months, after Lavigne accidentally drafted Kroeger in to co-write a song for her upcoming album. On August 8, Kroeger proposed with a 14-carat diamond ring and hopefully no poetry. "He makes her so happy", a family source (supposedly) told PEOPLE. "Both of their families could not be more excited."
Lavigne loves fellow Canadian rockers, it seems; her first marriage was to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley. They pair split in 2009, due to diminishing sales of Sum 41 records [citation missing].
