The Canadian rockers had done such a good job of keeping their six-month relationship under wraps that few knew they were even an item.
But as news of their surprise engagement spreads, it has emerged the couple first got together in February when they teamed up to co-write a song for her upcoming studio album - the follow up to 2011's Goodbye Lullaby.
'A romantic relationship blossomed as they spent time writing together,' a friend of the songstress said.
'He makes her so happy. Both of their families could not be more excited,' another insider added to People magazine.
Kroeger, 37, is believed to have popped the question on August 8 with an impressive 14-carat diamond ring.
It will be the first marriage for Kroeger and the second for 27-year-old Lavigne.
The Complicated singer split from her husband of three years, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, in 2009 before dating Kim Kardashian's stepbrother Brody Jenner for two years.
And as Avril thanked fans on Twitter for their congratulatory messages, Maroon 5 star Adam Levine (@adamlevine, NOT @AvrilLavigne) ensured he quickly distanced himself from the good news.
He tweeted: 'Just to clear up the confusion, I am NOT engaged to Chad Kroeger of Nickleback.'
