Has Chad Kroeger been telling people that he & Avril Lavigne will divorce?

Back in May, there were some stories about Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger’s barely year-old marriage being in significant trouble. The stories died quickly, and Chad and Avril made it to their one-year anniversary. Chad gifted Avril with a huge 17-carat diamond ring to celebrate the milestone. But now it’s looking like Avril and Chad probably won’t make it to their second anniversary.

Avril Lavigne and husband Chad Kroeger are reportedly ‘headed for a split’ after just 14 months of marriage.

‘It’s over,’ a source said in the September 29 edition of Us Weekly. ‘He has been going around L.A. and telling people that they’re divorcing.’

On August 30, the 29-year-old pop-punk diva wasn’t wearing her wedding ring as she left the Chateau Marmont with gal pals. And after gushing over the 17-carat diamond ring her 39-year-old beau bought her for their anniversary in July, Avril mysteriously deleted her tweet.

The rocking lovebirds – who have a combined net worth of $105 million – are now mostly missing from each other’s Twitter and Instagram feeds.

‘Chad is just a complete jerk in the way he talks to her, and the way he talks to people in general,’ a Lavigne pal told the mag. ‘A lot of her friends don’t like him.’

However, a third source was more optimistic: ‘There’s no concrete timeline for divorce right now.’

The Canadian crooners famously got engaged one month after recording the eight-time Grammy nominee’s aptly-titled duet, Let Me Go. Avril and the Nickelback frontman tied the knot before 110 guests at the Château de la Napoule on the French Riviera following an 11-month engagement.

I just spent way too much time scrolling through Avril’s Twitter feed to see if that was true. It looks like it is, I can’t find any mention of Chad in the past few months. Huh. Of course, I’ve always thought that while their coupling was random and weird, it was probably high on crazy DRAMZ, because both of them are overgrown teenagers. This could just be an “OMG, I AM SO OVER YOU” cycle just before they make up and he buys her another huge ring. I’m just saying… stay with it a little bit longer, girl. He might give you something nice for Christmas.
