The Other Woman In Shania Split: First Photo

As Shania Twain copes with her sudden split with the support of family and friends in her native Canada, sources close to the singer say she is reeling from a double betrayal - not only by her husband of 14 years, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, but by a woman she considered a close friend.

Lange's relationship with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, a longtime secretary and house manager at Twain and Lange's estate in Switzerland, was behind the breakup, say several sources familiar with the situation.

"Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source, adding that the Swiss employee was a fixture in the household Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, shared with their son, 6-year-old Eja D'Angelo.

"Their two families would vacation and spend holidays together," says the source. "Shania considered Marie-Anne one of her best friends."

WOW, Mr Lange's name is very fitting I think-

Oh my goodness! Quite a trade down.

It's easy to label Twain's husband a brainless idiot for leaving his talented and beautiful wife.

Perhaps the person deserving the greatest scorn is Twain herself, who would attach herself to such a loser. She certainly deserves better.

Spitzer's wife is a knockout, as is Shania. However, there's a lot we don't know- the connections unravelled. Maybe their husbands turned them off after awhile. Maybe the men are idiots. We're looking for simple answers to complex situations. Shania's rival looks like her mother, not her sister. But maybe she makes better music with Mutt now. You can't form an opinion or an analysis by simply looking at a photograph, though.

With millions of people out there in the world to choose from if you are not happy with your spouse, choosing her best friend as your lover takes a world-class asshole. Same with his new squeeze.

Low-life frickin scum.

how can we listen to "still the one" now, especially that it starts out with "looks like we made it."

[CoulterIsASuccubus]

You can't sing country music without angst. This will be good for her.

[sparkey]

It looks like Mutt went after someone who looks a whole lot like Shania. In fact, she looks like Shania's sister. Maybe it was his way to keep it in the family.

At least Shania won't be left without admirers. Here's Cledus T. Judd's video, "If Shania Were Mine."

Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a man who's tired of her.

........I would imagine being married to someone like Shania.........beautiful,talented,rich,successful......would be difficult indeed........it seems once people attain some noteriety they forget those who helped them to the top.......but Mutt was already successful when she met him....so maybe they forgot each other.....
........in marriage...if you dont take care of whats at home....it will wait a while...but not forever.... ....it goes out and finds what it needs......no matter WHAT your social staus.........this type thing happens in the real world every day.......so why do we marvel when it happens to people we all KNEW weren't going to stay together in the first place......

[HatingTheGame]

Oops, look like they didn't make it.

[houseofglass]

dang, mutt messes UP!

[nikto]

Mutt now can join the "cheat on my gorgeous wife with an ordinary-looking
other-woman" club (Eliot Spitzer is already a member).

But, as an ordinary-looking guy, I can say for sure that ordinary-looking women
are often startlingly-incredible lovers.

I guess looks aren't everything.

I know for me they aren't.

But then, I'm not married to Shania Twain or Silda Spitzer.

Maybe if I were, I'd understand.

[Brasco06]

You just lost all credibility.

[strifeknot]

Please, Spitzer's wench on the side is so much more lovely than his wife. But Twain is definitely prettier than this other lady.

[MyThought]

Why don't people just leave her alone ..... People magazine is becoming just another trash magazine.

It's no one's business and why should anyone care.
