It’s been about two or so weeks since we broke news describing the affair and subsequent divorce of the country movie star, Shania Twain, and her husband of 14 years, Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange.

Since then, Shania has been pretty quiet about what happened, but today she wrote a personal message on her website thanking her fans for their support.

In one part of the letter she says she will be back on top after she has “some time to heal this broken heart.”

Wow…so sad.

Here is what Shania wrote:

To my beloved fans:

As I am sure you have seen or heard; I am going through a rough time personally in my life. I wanted you all to know that I could not be getting through this without you. Your letters, emails and words of encouragement give me strength. Your overwhelming support reminds me to smile, no matter how deep the pain and to always be grateful for all the beautiful blessings in my life.

I have so much to say but I know the best way for me to speak is through my music. This is my therapy, my passion, and my love. I look forward to sharing it with all of you as I begin this new journey.

I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever.

Thank you my friends, from the bottom of my heart.

Love,
Shania

What a difficult time this must be, especially since all her personal business is in the spotlight. I really hope this doesn’t get ugly for the sake of their son.

It’s never right to cheat, people. You will break someone’s heart.

And then they might write a #1 song about it!

…Which is what we are all expecting her to do.

Can’t wait to hear it!!

Last week we reported that country music superstar, Shania Twain and her husband of 14 years, Robert “Mutt” Lange, were getting a divorce.

At the time, all the sources were calling it an amicable split. But now it looks like it was something else that tore them apart.

It’s another case of infidelity with the hired help. I can’t help but thinking about when this happened to Jude Law and Sienna Miller.

What I don’t get is that these men are dating/married to some of the hottest women in the world… but they still can’t seem to remain faithful!

The reason behind the split has surfaced and is being reported by People. According to their source, Mr. Mutt (what an appropriate name for him now) was having an affair with the hired help.

Marie Ann Thiébaud is an employee who has been the long time secretary and manager at the couple’s Swiss chateau.

It is also being reported that she and Lange have both left their respective spouses and inorder to continue to be in a relationship.

It’s always sad when a couple breaks up, but when it’s infidelity- that’s the worst…

In this case it even looks like the other woman was a close friend of the couple!

What a backstabber!

Of course, when contacted, Lange lied right through his teeth, denying any wrongdoing:

“It’s absolutely not the reason [for the separation].” Adding that he was not in romantic relationship with Thiebaud. “I’m not, no,” he said. “It’s not true.”

And Thiébaud could not be reached for any comments. Probably because she knows everyone loves Shania!

In the meantime, the singer is said to be terribly upset and devastated. Luckily, she is being surrounded and supported by a circle of close-knit family and friends. Let’s hope she bounces back from this stronger than ever.

Maybe we will hear exactly how she feels when she writes a new song about it! Hey, it could happen…

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.
