Affair Causes Shania Twain To Divorce Her Husband

Affair Causes Shania Twain To Divorce Her Husband

I don't particularly love to speculate about these things, but People is running the story and they are generally an extremely reliable source.  They're claiming that Shania Twain's soon to be ex-husband, Robert Lang, was having an affair with his secretary.

Sources close to the situation say a third party was involved: Marie-Anne Thiébaud, a longtime secretary and manager of the couple’s chateau in Switzerland. "Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source.

Robert has denied that's true.

"It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]," the famously reclusive producer told PEOPLE when asked about the alleged affair. He also denied that he was in a romantic relationship with Thiébaud: "I'm not, no," he said. "It's not true."

And, of course, Shania is devestated.  Who wouldn't be?

"This came out of left field ... She loved him."

For now, she has a group of close friends and family supporting her and helping her get through this.

I have never been a fan of hers but I feel so bad for her if this is all true. I mean, could you imagine if this happened to you? I would be devastated to say the least.

Why would you want to cheat on her? or anybody for that matter.

divorce can be hard on anyone, ecspecially when their is a third party involived (if this is even true, i dont believe anything until it comes from the horses mouth, or i see pic). but, she isnt close to being a bad looking woman and i love her music. she will land on her feet; she always has. alot can be said about a woman that took care of all her brothers and sisters after their parents were killed. i dont think i could have done it. if she can get through that she can get through this. a cheating? husband is nothing to cry over. be glad he can neva hurt you again and feel for the next grl that he does it too.

That must be devastating. She seems like such a down to earth, genuine person. Hopefully everything will work out for the best.

I fell bad for her, no one deserves that. I can't imagine how painful it is to have something like that happen to you.

I hope she writes a wicked song about him!! The 'other women' has a lot to live up too! Shania Twain is beautiful and I hope the cow forever lives in Shania's shadow.

I remember that their marriage hit a rough patch in 2000, amid rumours of her cheating on him. Cheating isn't right, no matter what the circumstances, but it is usually a symptom of a problem in a marriage. A solid marriage won't have third parties in the mix. And cheating rarely has anything to do with looks, either. The average "other woman" or "other man" is not usually someone drop-dead gorgeous, either. Another misconception. And looks are not enough to keep someone interested. That isn't all there is to a person or a relationship.

Its like that line in the movie Alfie...show me a good looking woman and I will show you a man who is tired of shagging her ( or something along those lines ). Looks alone wont keep a couple faithful.

Men Suck Men Suck said:

I personally had this happen to me and I can't tell you how awful the feeling is when you first start to figure out what is happening-the betrayal feels as if you are suffocating...many blessings Shania. Keep our chin up and you will make it through. He didn't deserve you, the big ass.

Passerby Passerby said:

I think she is one of the most beautiful women in the world. My heart goes out to her.

crazy lady crazy lady said:

this is so sad. my boyfriend and i were just talking the other day about her and where has she been. i didnt expect that when i DID hear something about her it would be bad.
i wish her the best.

Joelle Joelle said:

I have mixed feelings about this. Yes, I'm sad for Shania, but on the other hand, I don't know what their marriage is like. Just because Shania is beautiful, it doesn't automatically mean she's a good wife. One's appearance and how one fills a role (wife, friend, sister, etc.) are two separate issues.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Now, I'm NOT presuming Shania is at fault, but I'm not presuming her innocence either. I'm just saying I reserve judgement because I don't know what their marriage is like.

sandman sandman said:

that old saying, "it doesn't matter how hot the broad is, somewhere theres a guy who is sick of her", applies here.

the chick that cheated with him was a married female btw.

you kids are kind of dopey, go do your homework or something & good luck with your future "soul mates" hahaha, i kill me.

Well, it always takes two... it's never as simple as it looks. If he has an affair then how low life of him not to at least stand by his affair! He sounds like Bill Clinton. I lost all my respect for him when he denied his affair. Ok, you make a mistake but at least be a man and stand to your mistake.

Scott Scott said:

So we are surprised a guy with a nickname Mutt cheated on his wife?

Passerby Passerby said:

Maybe Mutt got tired of hearing that little dog yap sound Shania makes. Maybe he realized she is an empty-headed Canadian who's about as fake as a three-dollar bill.

Dollars to doughnuts: She'll never have another hit song again. Don't think she married Mutt Lange for love alone...the man is a hit-makin-money machine; she got hers.

Whitney Whitney said:

I told many of you women here on this blog a couple of months ago that all men cheat, so of you jumped down my throat. ...hate to say it but I told you so. They all cheat, no matter how hot you think you are or how much you love him or how many years you've been together. Men love variety. all you married women don't want to face the truth, the truth hurts deal with it.

jenny jenny said:

some of you women commenting on how could he cheat on her, she is so beautiful. Don't you stupid women know men don't cheat cause of beauty? your wife could be beautiful, but sometimes a man needs more. Learn something ladies.

Shiver Shiver said:

Hey Jenny, you're a fucking idiot. Learn something and engage your brain before flapping your gums. Stupid twat!

a fellow Canadian a fellow Canadian said:

Shania: I am a fellow Canadian gal from Peterborough. My husband did exactly what yours did to you. It took three years to get over it and there were many times I didn't think I would make it. Now I am experiencing more richness in my life than I ever knew with my infidel husband. Your welcome to call or stay with me a while in New Mexico. I am a physician, love to sing, I'm a good listener, a person who's been there, plus a fellow Canadian.

Joyce / Canada Joyce / Canada said:

I feel bad for Shania, but she is a rock and if she is wants out of this marriage then so be it !! Mutt was never at any function with her, I can't imagine being married to a man, and NEVER have him by your side.

Specially when she is receiving an award, how lonely it must be for her.
Travelling by herself, no wonder, he was cheating on her all this time..

How degrating, I hope he gets what he deserves in the end, no son and no self respect, he is a poor excuse for a man.....Coward !!

Shania ( your name says it all) on my way!!!! You will be fine after the hurt is over, and trust me you can get any man you want.

music fan music fan said:

Shania is so wonderful. Her music is great and she has a wonderful voice. I wish her only the best.

Passerby Passerby said:

I guess now Eileen Edwards is nothing without him, that is her real name you know. why would you change your name, no one does that! and about seven years ago, i read in a magazine that if mutt didn't give her a child, she would divorce him? now what kind of a marriage was that? she is a lousy singer, very thin voice...ughhh!

i feel for her she's really cool.
