The couple, who few knew were even dating, have announced their engagement, according to a new report! Read on for the details.

Avril Lavigne and Nickelback lead singer Chad Kroeger are engaged, after a six-month courtship that was kept so quiet, hardly anyone even knew about it!

People Magazine reports that Avril, 27, and Chad, 37, first met in February when the two co-wrote a song for Avril’s upcoming album. A friend of Avril’s tells the magazine, “A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together.”

Chad proposed on Aug. 8 with a 14-carat diamond sparkler. This will be Chad’s first marriage, while it will be Avril’s second. She divorced Sum 41 lead singer Deryck Whibley in 2009. She has also previously dated Brody Jenner.

On Monday, September 10th Avril will be debuting her Abbey Dawn Spring 2013 Collection during New York Fashion Week at Style360.
