The summer of splits continues!
Avril Lavigne just took to Instagram to announce her separation from Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
"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," she said in her statement. "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 announcement isn't much of a surprise to anyone who's been following their relationship.
The two got engaged after just one month and six days of dating in August 2012 and tied the knot in France a year later. They were plagued with split rumors ever since.
Hard to believe, but since their wedding ceremony -- where the bride wore black -- the duo attended only four events together in public, all taking place in the months immediately following their nuptials.
Speculation reached an all time high when Avril showed up to her 30th birthday bash in September 2014 without her husband or her wedding ring. The pop star's mother had to move in with her when Lavigne was battling Lyme Disease earlier this year -- as Kroeger toured with his band. He was also spotted at a Miami strip club in August, after Nickelback canceled their tour due to a cyst on Chad's voice box.
"Sometimes it's funny, when you're standing in the checkout line at the grocery store and you look over and it's your face on there. Not the … Kardashians … and Brangelinas … it's 'Chavril," Chad said of split rumors back in November. "You're like, 'Can I buy all these? So that no one can see?'"
"My family members hear this stuff … and then they call me up very concerned," Chad continued. "I'm like, 'Dad, you're not buying all this crap, are you?'"
"All that stuff that people say behind each other's back is minuscule, pales in comparison to the world of celebrity," he added. "That's like high school multiplied exponentially. It's ridiculous."
The two reportedly purchased a new, $5.4 million home together earlier this summer in Sherman Oaks -- wonder who gets it now?
The split news comes right after Avril's first husband, Deryck Whibley, married Ariana Cooper over the weekend.
