Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger Divorcing After Two Years Of Marriage

Oh my God, how could this happen? This is a complete and utter shock, said no one ever! Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger have decided to end their marriage after just two years. This duo of ultimate Canadian-ness stuck together through thick and thin for a grand total of about 26 months (they married on July 1, 2013) and now, it’s all done. We know this because Avril herself announced it via Instagram on Wednesday, as you do, with the photo above. It featured the following caption:

It is with heavy heart that Chad and I announce our separation today. 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.

Cool, I guess? I mean, I don’t think anyone was banking on this being a lifelong love affair, to be honest – not even Avril herself. It has to suck to be 30 and already divorced twice, but I guess shit happens in Hollywood.

The best part of this has to be the amazing headlines Jezebel came up with for coverage of this sad affair:

• Hey (Hey) You (You) I Don’t Like My Husband!
• He Was In Nickleback, She Said, ‘I Hate Nickelback’
• Someday, Somehow, They’re Gonna Make It All Right, Wait Never Mind
• I’m (No Longer) With You
• They Are Less Than Just Good Friends, This Is How the Story Ends
• Why’d You Have to Go and Make Differences So Irreconcilable?
• Never Made It As a Wise Man, Couldn’t Cut It As a Husband Either
• So Much For Their Happy Ending
• Look at This Photograph, It’s of Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger Divorcing After Two Years of Marriage

So, so good – I don’t think I can pick a favourite. Maybe “I’m (No Longer) With You”, because it just has that ring to it.
