"Avril Lavigne has become engaged to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. The musicians had been quietly dating since meeting during a recording session for her new studio album in February of this year, reports People.   &amp;quot;A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,&amp;quot; a friend of Lavigne is quoted as saying. Kroeger proposed with a 14-carat diamond engagement ring on August 8, and a second insider added that the couple&amp;#039;s families &amp;quot;could not be more excited&amp;quot; by the news. This will be Kroeger&amp;#039;s first marriage. Lavigne was previously married to Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley between 2006 and 2009. She broke up with Brody Jenner at the start of 2012, following a two-year relationship. Lavigne also confirmed earlier today that her new album is complete and said that she is &amp;quot;super-stoked&amp;quot; about its release.
