We hear bells ringing! 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. And along those lines, they fell in love.
“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, which we would really want to see!
“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.
Do you think Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger could be walking down the aisle anytime soon? Could their relationship (and soon-to-be marriage) last, given the short amount of time they’ve been together? Feel free to holler your best wishes and tales of envy to us through the comment box below!

Is Prince Harry Dating Mollie King?
Harry is described by the Daily Express as “smitten” with the blonde, and, despite this still being “early days” in their relationship, the couple are said to be “head over heels” after recently spending time together in some London nightspots.
They also reportedly shared a karaoke session with friends at London’s Bunga Bunga bar – and Ladbrokes, the betting parlor, is giving 5:1 odds that King will become Harry’s next girlfriend. It is believed King first met Harry – who’s just moved into his own bachelor pad at Kensington Palace – at a polo game a few years ago.
And the royal links don’t end there. King’s bandmate Una Healy was at that other royal wedding last summer – that of Harry’s cousin Zara Phillips. Healy is engaged to Ben Foden, an English rugby teammate of Phillips’s husband, Mike Tindall.
A spokesman for Prince Harry said that his office never comments on his private life. A rep for King was not available.
