It’s a new Canadian musical power couple: People magazine is reporting that Napanee’s own pop star Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger are engaged.

“A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,” said a Lavigne insider.

On Aug. 8, Kroeger reportedly proposed, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond ring.

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