Chad Kroeger on Avril Lavigne Split Rumors: It's Amusing

Chad Kroeger is breaking his silence on the rumors that he and his wife Avril Lavigne are splitting up.

“You know my dad calls me up and he’s just like, ‘I haven’t slept in 2 days, what’s going on?’ I’m like, ‘Dad you’re not buying all this crap are you?’ You know, I get to hear all the rumour mill stuff. I find it very amusing,” the 39-year-old Nickelback frontman told ET Canada.

“When you get out of high school, and it’s like ugh, okay. All that rumor crap. All that stuff that people say behind each other’s backs is minuscule, pales in comparison to the world of celebrity or being married to a celebrity,” Chad added. “That’s high school multiplied exponentially. It’s ridiculous. How many times has Jennifer Aniston been pregnant this year? A dozen?”

“Let’s start a new rumor. I’m pregnant,” he joked.
