Shania Twain and Frédéric Thiébaud’s Relationship Had a Messy Start
Shania Twain and Frédéric Thiébaud reportedly started dating after their exes cheated on them with each other.
The couple reportedly became romantically involved in 2009 after finding out that Twain’s ex-husband, Robert John Lange, had allegedly cheated on her with Thiébaud’s ex-wife, Marie-Anne.
Twain and Lange’s marriage lasted from 1993 until they separated in 2008. The former couple share a son, Eja, 24.
Meanwhile, the singer and her current husband got engaged in December 2010 and tied the knot on New Year's Day in 2011 in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
The “You're Still the One” hitmaker said that if she and the Swiss businessman had met when they were younger without their shared history, they would have found “lifelong love even from then.”
“It just takes sometimes years to find that person,” she added.
She also said that she feels blessed about the fact that “this is the love I’m going to grow old with.”
Shania Twain her love with Frédéric Thiébaud is 'undeniable.'
“It’s a beautiful feeling,” she added.
“I’m sure we’ll always have romance, but there’s a depth and a gratitude that I have about having this love,” the “From This Moment On” singer said.
Twain previously spoke about finding love after her messy split from her ex-husband in a 2022 interview with People.
“That is a really strong bond that builds over time, that is rare, that you don’t have in every relationship if you don’t have those deep scars in common,” she said at the time, before adding, “we were a big part of each other’s healing.”
“When I got divorced, I said, ‘I’m never getting married again.’ I was definitely one of those people that could have written a million songs about, ‘I’m never going to fall in love again.’ But Fred was such an undeniable love,” the music icon noted.
