Singer Avril Lavigne and musician Chad Kroeger have separated after two years of marriage. Avril, 30, announced their separation on Instagram, with a photograph featuring the two in happier times.
On Twitter she shared:
She continued on Instagram: "Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we've created many unforgettable moments. We are still, and forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other. To all our family, friends and fans, thank you sincerely for the support."
The reason of their split is unclear but the Nickelback frontman has reportedly been telling people that their marriage was on the rocks. "It's over. He has been going around Los Angeles telling people that they are divorcing," a source earlier said. (Also Read:
