After dating for 6 months, the Canadian rockers are engaged to be married!

A lot of people had no idea these two were dating, but
Avril Lavigne, 27, and
Chad Kroeger, 37, have been going steady for 6 months and now they are engaged to be married,
PEOPLE reports.
The two met in February when they started collaborating for
Avrils' new album and, according to a source, "a romantic relationship bloomed as they spent time writing together".
Six months later, the
Nickelback frontman proposed with a 14-carat diamond ring, on August 8, 2012.
"He makes her so happy. Both of their families could not be more excited", another source added.
The engagement was confirmed by
Nickelback on their
Twitter: "Congratulations Avril and Chad!" and the "
Complicated" singer retweeted the post.
This will be
Chad's first marriage and
Lavigne's second. She was married to
Sum 41 frontman
Deryck Whibley and divorced in 2009.
Congratulations to
Avril and
Chad!
