Avril Lavigne, Chad Kroeger bonded over music

Los Angeles: Singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne says her relationship with Nickelback frontman and lead guitarist Chad Kroeger `blossomed naturally` and they `bonded` over their love for music.

The 28-year-old explained how Kroeger proposed her four weeks after their romance started and their romance was centered around `music`. "We met in the studio. He proposed in the studio a month later after we were dating. We bonded through work, music and song writing. We were buddies and it blossomed naturally into a relationship," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Lavigne as saying. However, the `Here`s to Never Growing Up` hitmaker said she tries to avoid getting `caught up in life` as a star. "It`s very rare that I meet people in the industry that are down to earth. Normal people (can) get really caught up in their celebrity and who they are as a star. For me, I`ve always made sure to turn it on when I need it to turn on and turn it off when I need it to turn off," she said. "I am a normal human being. I like to be home and with my family. I spent 10 years living in Los Angeles and I moved away from Los Angeles now to make sure I don`t get too caught up," she added. IANS
