Another One Bites the Dust: Country Music Edition

Posted on 17 May 2008 by CeCe

This just isn’t a good week for celebrity couples. Add another one to the list of break ups and divorces. This time it is the country music world that will be the most in shock, which will give us a nice change of pace from the usual Hollywood splits. Guess who it is this time! Here’s a hint…

Shania Twain, 42, has split from her husband of fourteen years. In case you didn’t know (I’m assuming 99% of you didn’t) she was married to Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, 59, a record producer.

Her spokesperson has confirmed the pair have called it quits, saying they “are separating after fourteen years of marriage. This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.”

They first met back in 1993 and married only after six months of knowing each other. So does this mean that love at first sight doesn’t last?

There have also been rumors of their marriage being rocky as early as 2000, but they have stayed together all these years. They even tried moving to Switzerland, of all places, to try and escape the blaring spotlight.

Shania and Robert have worked together a lot in the past, he produced and co-wrote many of her hit singles including You’re Still the One and Man! I Feel Like a Woman! Now if those two jams couldn’t keep them together, I don’t know what would have worked!

The couple has a seven-year-old son, Eja D’Angelo. No word yet on how bloody and bitter that custody battle will be.

And Shania is coming back out this year with a new album and a signature perfume. That’s great and all, but this just makes me sad that there aren’t any famous couples staying together for long anymore.

    Sad =( Hopefully they don’t put the kid in the middle like the Baldwin/Bassinger ordeal!

    That’s to bad. I hope it isn’t going to hard on their son. If she has a new album and perfume coming out I hope it isn’t a way for her to get publicity.
