Avril Lavigne & Nickleback's Chad Kroeger Annouce Engagement

Pop singer Avril Lavigne and Nickleback frontman Chad Kroeger have announced their engagement.

The pair of Canadian musicians have kept their relationship, which developed while the pair were collaborating on a song for Lavigne's forthcoming album, under wraps for the past six months, but divulged their pending nuptials in an interview with People magazine.

I'm sure they will make beautiful music together.  I can't wait for their first album!

From People:

Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's relationship has been so quiet that few even knew they were dating. Now, after a six-month courtship, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married, Lavigne's rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. 

Lavigne, 27, and Kroeger, 37, first got together in February to co-write a song for Lavigne's upcoming fifth studio album. 

"A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together," a Lavigne pal tells PEOPLE. 

On Aug. 8, Kroeger popped the question, presenting Lavigne with a 14-carat diamond sparkler. 

"He makes her so happy," a family source tells PEOPLE. "Both of their families could not be more excited." 

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