Chad Kroeger fights with Avril Lavigne. Avril Lavigne spoke about relationships with ex-husbands and the fight against a dangerous disease

For several years now, my favorite celebrity couple has been Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger. Two of the most popular Canadian rock singers found each other two years ago and since then it is difficult to name more suitable people among celebrities than them.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger met in early March 2012, when Avril, having completed the last concerts in Asia as part of her Black Star Tour, returned to Los Angeles to begin work on her fifth studio album. Her team included David Hodges (ex-Evanessence), Martin Johnson, famous composer and producer Dr. Luke and Chad Kroeger, frontman of the Canadian rock band Nickelback. Avril and Chad quickly discovered a similarity of views on many musical issues and even decided to record two songs together - the first version of the single Let me go with a sad ending and another one called If I Said That I Loved You, which was later played at their wedding (this song not available online).

At the same time, the musicians felt mutual sympathy for each other. Later, they described this condition as follows: " TOWhen I met Chad, I was single for the first time and thought, “Yoo-hoo! It's time to have fun." And then - bam! - and it happened!"(Avril). Chad described his emotions this way:

"I was beginning to believe that I would spend my whole life moving from one relationship to another, until I met Avril. It seemed to me that the stars aligned in one line. I felt like fate was taking over, and for me it was this wake-up call: don't let it go."

In the spring of 2012, when the relationship between Avril and Chad was just beginning, the singer decided to move to Paris to improve her health and get some rest. Most of the work on the album, which later became known as "Avril Lavigne", was completed, so the girl planned to stay in France for a long time. Already in early May, Chad joined her to spend a few days together. " When I was with Avril in Paris in the spring, I realized that I was falling in love with her. This feeling was incredibly strong, I will never forget it"- Chad said later.

Perhaps they started dating already then (according to official data - July 1, Canada Day). In June 2012, Avril suggested that Chad get a joint tattoo - the inscription on his hand “vivre le moment present,” which translated from French means “live for one moment.” It must be said that Avril is a huge fan of tattoos, and in June 2012 alone she got 4 tattoos; For Chad, the inscription on his hand was the first. However, the couple still did not make any official statements about their relationship.

At the end of August 2012, fans of the singer (Avril calls them Little black stars) learned more than unexpected news - on August 8, Chad proposed to Avril, which the singer happily accepted. On this occasion, the musicians gave an interview to Hello Canada magazine, where they talked about this exciting moment:

Avril: The whole time I was in the studio, I was doing scrapbooking - making an album with cards from my Polaroid. I carried this album with me everywhere. August 8th was our fourth session in the studio, when I walked in, Chad was with an album. He asked me to come and look at the page he had just added there. I went to the album, he opened this page in front of me, and there was a photo of him holding a ring and the words “Will you marry me?” He got down on his knee and said, “Look at me, Avril, I’m really worried right now. Will you marry me?" I immediately said yes! That album holds so many wonderful memories, but this page has become my favorite!

Chad: Once she saw it, there was no turning back. I was so worried. I got down on my knee and before I finished my sentence she said yes. It was undoubtedly one of the greatest moments of my life.

Several times in my life I had the opportunity to talk with Chad Kroeger, and each time I carefully followed what he said about Avril, how he mentioned her. And these were always the kindest words, a gentle smile, so I immediately felt how much he loved and respected his bride, and then his wife.

Chad's look says a lot

After spending September in Paris, Chad embarked on a European tour in support of Nickelback's latest album, Here and Now. Avril accompanied him to almost all countries, returning to America from time to time. At the same time, the singer made a cover version of one of the most popular Nickelback songs - How you remind me for the Japanese cartoon One Piece: Film Z.

In the spring of 2013, interest in Avril's new album, about which practically nothing was known at that time, was fueled. On April 9, with the release of the first single Here's to never growing up, the "era" of the singer's fifth album began. Chad constantly accompanied Avril to various interviews, social events, and promotional shows. They talked about the upcoming wedding, their relationships and music. At the same time it became known about a new version of the duet Let me go with a happy ending.

On July 1, 2013, in the south of France, in the medieval castle Chateau de la Napoule near Cannes, a grandiose event took place - the wedding of Avril and Chad. The bride took over the entire organizational process. " I'm a lock and key person, I love French decor and gothic...This is how I always decorate my houses - medieval, dark, rock 'n' roll colors like black and red.I found a castle in France, we visited it, and it turned out to be perfect,” said Lavigne. “I planned this wedding for a long time. I showed him (Chad) everything, and he allowed me to take charge.”

110 guests were invited to the wedding ceremony, and everything took place in the strictest secrecy - guests were forbidden to announce the date, location of the celebration or take photographs. The right to attend the wedding was granted to one single publication - "Hello! Canada", which prepared an exclusive report from the wedding, placing the main characters on the cover.

Avril wore a luxurious black dress from Monique Lhuillier. This image was the exact opposite of the previous one - on July 15, 2006, when Avril married the frontman of the Canadian group Sum 41, Derick Whibley, she wore a snow-white dress from Vera Vong. But a black wedding dress has always been the singer’s dream.

I knew I wanted to wear a black outfit. I wanted something that looked like a wedding dress, but since I'm very short, 5-2, I didn't want anything to wear me. Mindy Weiss (Avril's wedding agent) brought me the Monique Lhuillier catalog and we found my dress. It was red, it was delicious. I asked: “Can we make the same thing, only in black?”, and she answered: “Of course!”

One of the most interesting questions asked to Avril and Chad, in my opinion, was the question of family happiness - what is its secret? Chad said that he received several different pieces of advice from members of his rock band, and there was one that really stuck with the musician: “Happiness is when you fall in love with her flaws, and not with what is already flawless about her.” Avril She said that she would do everything possible so that they could spend more time together:

We hope to be together forever, that's why we got married; one day we will have a family. I'm going to grow with Chad through life. I'm looking forward to growing our family, our music and living our crazy rock star lives together and our normal life together at home.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger are an adorable couple. This is a great example of how music and collaboration connects people, hopefully forever. They complement each other amazingly and look incredibly harmonious, despite the fact that they have different characters, as can be seen from the interview excerpts I cited. I hope that they will be able to spend Valentine's Day together, finding time between Avril's performances in China and, of course, I wish them happiness.

A couple of days ago, Avril Lavigne's ex-husband, Sum 41 lead singer Deryck Whibley, married his girlfriend Ariana Cooper. But Avril herself, unfortunately, is not going smoothly in her personal life right now. Yesterday, the Canadian singer announced her separation from her husband, Nickelback leader Chad Kroeger.

It is with heavy hearts that Chad and I announce our separation. Our marriage, like our music together, has given us many unforgettable moments. We are still and will forever remain best friends, we will always worry about each other. To all our family, friends and fans - sincere thanks for your support,

Lavigne wrote on Instagram. Rumors about her separation from her husband had been circulating since last year, but then Kruger denied them. At that time, by the way, Avril was struggling with Lyme disease, and only recently reported that she was recovering and feeling much better.

Recall that Kruger and Lavigne got engaged just a month after the start of their relationship. The celebrity wedding took place in July 2013 in the south of France. Before this, the singer was married to Sum 41 vocalist Deryck Whibley for four years, after which she dated TV star Brody Jenner for two years.

Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne

By the way, Avril Lavigne married Chad Kroeger in a black dress. Now we can say with confidence that this was not her best decision. We remember the stories of Marilyn Monroe, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Turner, Tina Kandelaki, Tatyana Vasilyeva and other famous women who, for one reason or another, dressed in the color of a raven wing for their wedding. How did their future destinies turn out? The answer is in the gallery.

Avril lavigne

Which last spring, for the first time after a two-year break in public, continues to return to social life. Thus, the 34-year-old singer became the heroine of the new issue of Billboard magazine and gave the publication a long interview in which she talked about her personal life, as well as the fight against Lyme disease.

According to the star, she treats her two ex-wives, Sum 41 vocalist Derek Whibley and Nickelback leader... with great love.

He's a good Canadian guy

she says of Whibley.

And Lavigne speaks with great respect of the Kruger group, which is often criticized.


She doesn’t regret her two divorces at all and says that both times she married for love.

I love love,

- she admits.

The singer also opened up about the Lyme disease she suffered in 2014. According to Lavigne, when she began to experience some symptoms, she could not get out of bed - she felt so tired. And while doctors at first could not identify the cause of her condition, her friend suggested that Avril was struck down by a dangerous infection and advised her to contact Yolanda Hadid, who also suffered from this disease.

I spent two damn years in bed. I was bitten by a tick and had to take antibiotics. But it's not that simple. It is too creative and turns into a cyst, so other antibiotics should be taken at the same time. It went undiagnosed for a very long time and I felt terrible.

Rock singer Avril Lavigne said on her Instagram that she and her husband decided to separate after two years of marriage. “It’s hard, but today Chad and I have decided to announce our divorce,” she wrote under a photo of the happy couple holding hands and smiling. - We shared many unforgettable moments - not only in marriage, but also in music. We will always be best friends and take care of each other. Thank you to our families, friends and fans for their support."

30-year-old Avril Lavigne and 40-year-old Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger met while working on a song together in the studio, and got married in July 2013, after Chad presented his beloved with a 14-carat diamond ring. However, a year later the first rumor about an impending divorce appeared. “Chad is going around telling everyone he’s going to break up with Avril,” a source close to the musician told Us Weekly. However, then the divorce did not follow - perhaps due to Avril’s serious condition, which had contracted Lyme disease (it is usually transmitted through a tick bite and is characterized by damage to tissues, joints and the nervous system, which can lead to disability and even death).

The future divorce will be Avril Lavigne's second: previously, from 2006 to 2010, she was married to rocker Derick Whibley. After that, the singer dated Brody Jenner, with whom she broke up in 2012, and then met Chad Kroeger. By the way, before his marriage to the singer, he was never married. Additionally, neither Avril nor Chad have children.

Meanwhile, the Nickelback frontman has already found solace in the company of another woman. Eyewitnesses said that he was having fun with a stranger in a nightclub in Miami. “Chad came with a girlfriend and a bodyguard,” said one of the visitors to the establishment. - They sat in a regular hall, not in a VIP one, and they were clearly visible. Chad ordered a bottle of vodka, they danced and hugged a lot. They left around five in the morning.”

It was reported seven months ago that Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger still have strong feelings for each other. The singer admitted that she and her ex-husband still love each other “very deeply and deeply” and hope to maintain a warm relationship. Perhaps fans of the star couple were upset early, and there is still hope for a celebrity reunion?
