Chad Kroeger laughs off rumor of him splitting from Avril Lavigne after one year of marriage. The Nickelback member shares in a new interview with ET Canada that he finds the break-up story "amusing."
"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 rumor mill stuff. I find it very amusing," he says.
"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," he explains. "That's high school multiplied exponentially. It's ridiculous. How many times has Jennifer Aniston been pregnant this year? A dozen?" He jokingly adds, "Let's start a new rumor. I'm pregnant."
Kroeger gave the "When You're Gone" hitmaker a 17-carat diamond ring to celebrate their first wedding anniversary in July. Two months later, rumors of them separating hit the web.
Kroeger and his band recently announced a 60-city North American tour scheduled for next year to support their album "No Fixed Address", hitting stores on November 17. They will kick off the tour in February 2015 in Allentown, Pa.
