Report: Husband's Affair Caused Shania Twain Split

What caused the sudden breakup of Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, after 14 years of marriage? His relationship with another woman, say several sources.

Reached by PEOPLE after the separation was announced in a statement, Lange called the split "an unfortunate thing." He added, "It's literally just a growing apart, that's all."

But sources close to the situation say a third party was involved: Marie Ann Thiebaud, a longtime secretary and manager of the couple's chateau in Switzerland. "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source.

Monogamy is not an natural condition within any of the species including man-kind. Sexual experiences with another person usually have nothing to do with actually loving that person nor does it necessarily indicate a lack of love for a person's partner. However after centuries of cultural conditioning and guilt trips from various religions we are stuck in a belief system that is destined to create sexual frustration in relationships and resentment between couples born from feelings of being held back and pent up.

I think rich people have more temptations than normal people. I hope they all survive this mess.

It seems that these gents with tons of money are vulnerable to one "disease" or midlife affliction. Midlife Crises.......when men in their 50's and 60's start thinking with the head in their pants. It always gets them into trouble.

[sklfcats]

All men cheat ladies!

[DrJimmy]

Because wives give up on their husbands

[LeeLoosMultiPass]

It's not how Shania looks. It's the routine of marriage - and the fact that men (and women) will take what they can when bored. Also, sometimes it's simply pure ego gratification. Shania had laughed at all his jokes. He found someone who hadn't even heard them. And so on and forth.....ad nauseum.

I was wondering why they settled in Switzerland anyhow. Now we know. He had that manager
all that time on the side. Good writtens to him. He is ugly anyways. Shania can do better.
It's time for her to come home to the good ol' USA.

[yesyesyes]

Well, I was wondering. Now I can sleep. Thanks for keeping me up to date on the News.

OK, I'm not a member of the hetero community, but if a guy has a wife that is as beautiful as Shania, WTF is he doing using his willie as a divining rod looking for other women?

I just don't get these people. And it's gay marriage that is the threat to the traditional family?????

Horseshit.

[lisakaz2]

I hear ya on both points. Hetero men can't be trusted as far as you can throw 'em. Hope you're doing better.

I wish I were gay sometimes. Then I just remember why I like my cat more than most ppl. As least she's more or less transparent when she wants something.

[dadw5boys]

Love the high life did he then she is around the house all the time they grow apart.

Sounds like a lot of women when the husband retires and is at home a lot.

[AurigaRa]

yawn

[GenRom]

Who cares? I suppose she'll move back to the U.S. and try to make a comeback. Thanks alot, Mutt!

[ibivi]

You are so right. I'm seeing Shania videos again on the country stations. Just when I thought we could go back to listening to real country, she's baaaack!

[vandegrasse]

Breaking up is like a like a little taste of death.

On a happier note

I was going to write a few days ago that Mutt traded Shania in for a younger woman, as a joke, but it looks like it's true. :(

Men are pigs, and they can get away with it...thank god the laws favor women

[DrJimmy]

Right men are pigs.....and after marriage women are dead from the neck down

[SharonB]

Hey, I like men. The term "JERK" fits annoying creeps from either gender.

I have women friends and men friends, I can trulthfully say that there is not a "pig" among them.

But, then I didn't go looking for my friends in a barn yard.

[bmermaid]

He's obviously nuts! Some people just never know when they have a good thing going on.

[wm1066]

Its amazing, why anyone would cheat on this beautiful smart talented woman.
When Tom Cruise threw away Nicole I thought he was an idiot too.
I hope she comes out with a big hit soon....living well is the best revenge.

[DrJimmy]

So there is now way she did anything wrong....interesting

[bac]

I hope so too. She is just too beautiful and nice a person to go through this kind of thing!
