Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger were big names in rock music back in the early 2000s. Avril was this pop-punk princess, and Chad was the lead singer of Nickelback - you know, that band everyone loves to hate.
These two ended up working together in 2012, and before you know it, they're dating. It was pretty quick - they got engaged after just a month of going public. Some people thought it might be a publicity stunt, but they went ahead and got married in this fancy wedding in France in 2013.
Their marriage was always in the spotlight. There were always rumors flying around about cheating and fights, but Avril and Chad kept saying everything was fine. Then in 2015, Avril got really sick with Lyme disease. Chad stuck by her, which was tough but also brought them closer for a while.
But even after all that, they split up in 2015, just two years after getting married. It was big news, especially since they'd been talking about how strong they were during Avril's illness.
After they broke up, they both said nice things about each other in interviews. They even kept working together on music, which was kind of surprising.
Looking back, their relationship was always under a microscope. It was intense from the start, with lots of ups and downs. Avril once said that people think they know everything about her life, but relationships are complicated.
These days, it looks like they're still friends and work together sometimes. Chad helped write some songs for Avril's latest album and even showed up at some of her concerts in 2023.
But they're pretty private about what's really going on between them now. When people ask, they both kind of dodge the question. It's like they want to keep some things to themselves after having their whole relationship picked apart by the public.
Their story's pretty interesting - it shows how messy love can be when you're famous. It's not just about the music, it's about dealing with being in the public eye all the time. For millennials who grew up listening to their music, it was a big deal to see this relationship play out.
