Shania Twain, Frédéric Thiébaud Mark 15 Years of Marriage After 2008 Affair Scandal

Summary
15 years after marrying on New Year’s Day 2011, Shania Twain said Frédéric Thiébaud is “the love I’m going to grow old with” and that their relationship still carries romance and gratitude.
2008 set their relationship in motion after Twain learned her then-husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange was allegedly involved with Thiébaud’s then-wife, Marie-Anne Thiébaud; Frédéric was the one who told her, according to Twain’s memoir.
2009 brought them closer as they supported each other through the fallout, with Twain writing that they stayed in touch by phone and email before sharing their first kiss in December that year.
2011 formalized the bond after both finalized their divorces and married, turning what Twain later called a “beautifully twisted” story into a reassembled family with their children.
2024 showed Twain still framing that chapter as her ex-husband’s mistake rather than her burden, underscoring how the couple’s origin remains tied to a public betrayal they say they moved beyond.
