Avril Lavigne 'marries' fiance Chad Kroeger in the South of France

Avril Lavigne has married her Nickleback fiancé Chad Kroeger, it has been claimed.

The Complicated singer exchanged vows with her rocker beau in the South of France over the weekend, according to Mike Heller the CEO of the talent company that represents her.

He wrote on his Twitter page on Saturday moing: ‘I’m in south of France about to see my little Rok star #avril get married I am so happy to be part of this special celebration.’

He later added: ‘No pictures will be sent since this is #avril wedding but I will tell you everyone is so excited.’

The 28-year-old previously revealed she was planning a lavish wedding, saying: ‘I just want to make sure I really enjoy this amazing time and I want all the guests who come to have this once in a lifetime experience.

‘I want everyone to say, “Wow!” and for it to be special for everyone, not just us.’

The Girlfriend hitmaker, who was previously married to Sum 41 star Deryck Whibley, fell for Kroeger, 38, last summer when he was helping her record her fifth studio album.

The You Remind Me singer previously admitted he never expected to get married but meeting Lavigne changed his mind.

He added: ‘There was a time in my life that I thought I would never get married. But this definitely took me by storm. Honestly, it was more my idea than hers to get married. I’m just lucky she said yes.’
