Marriage is complicated. Even if you're two of the most famous Canadian musicians in the world -- and you share the bond of being frequently ridiculed by the general public -- it can be hard to make things work.
And this brutal summer of celebrity heartache isn't over yet. After being plagued by breakup rumors for the entirety of their relationship, Avril Lavigne and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger are officially divorcing. Rest in peace, Chavril.

Avril posted an Instagram sharing the news with her fans, writing, "Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we've created many unforgettable moments."
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.
