Twain's Heartbreaking Split

0528twain.jpg

Shania Twain is heartbroken as more details emerge about her recent split with husband Robert "Mutt" Lange. Reports say that Marie-Anne ThiƩbaud, a caretaker for the couple's Swiss home allegedly had an affair with Mutt, causing the billion-dollar breakup.

ThiƩbaud became one of Twain's best friends during her time with the pair, and she and Lange both deny accusations of a relationship, reports People magazine. The "Still the One" singer and her son Eja, 6, have returned to their secluded cottage in Huntsville, Ontario -- which along with the Swiss chateau and a 60,000 acre spread in New Zealand -- is just part of a huge fortune set to be divided.

Lange -- the man behind Def Leppard, Nickelback -- and Shania's success -- has made $500 million as one of the most successful music producers in history. Twain, having sold 60 million albums, has her own $450 million fortune.

Sources close to Shania say that her legendary warmth and spirit will help her bounce back from this painful break.

It’s sad that it took a shakeup in her personal life to bring Shania out of hiding. When are we going to hear some new music from her? It’s long overdue.

An OLD LEFT OVER HIPPIE DRUG ADDICT? I don’t think so. The man never did drugs and hasn’t had alcohol in 35 years not even on his wedding night. Mutt’s drug is music and that seems to interfere with his relationships. It’s too bad now that he is a father thanks to Shania convincing him after the women before failed to. I know Shania wanted more children and luckily she at least has Eja. He’ll help her keep smiling. Shania is a sweet woman.

This split is a bit surprising. Maybe Mutt was as controling in life as he is in the studio. It made him possibly the world’s greatest hit-making producer. He did NOT produce Nickleback, but he was behind the success of AC/DC’s biggest hits, as well as those of Def Leppard, The Cars, Foreigner, Bryan Adams and many more. I hope the world gets music from both Mutt and Shania in the future.

It’s still sad and shocking to see one of the greatest duos in music end up like this. They were unstoppable and seemed to beat the odds. If Mutt did what he did and claims they were growing apart, shame on him. I don’t know how much more a guy could ask for in a strong family woman, caring, nurturing, beautiful, talented, smart, and classy and dignified lady such as Shania. Commitment is a foreign word to some people. Why ruin something so right? Shania I look forward to your return and I know you will build from this and come back better than ever. It could be for the better and the normal life you enjoy will present itself again. No more isolation. You can do it girl. We fully support you. Just don’t worry, you did what you could, I hope you aren’t beating yourself up over this situation and circumstance. God bless.

I don’t know what Mutt was thinking when he wanted to end his marriage to Shania, but I wish her and her son all the best in this difficult time and know all her fans are behind her and love her very much and hope she comes back stronger than ever with some new music!!!!

It’s so sad to see what she is going through and it must be as equally as unsettling for her son.

However, if Mutt is innocent and did not cheat on her as sources suggest, then I think the media have treated him very cruel, because it has caused a lot of Shania fans to turn against him.

And if he was unfaithful, then it would seriously damage the respect he gained. In that case I hope Shania spreads her wings as she’s better off without him.

Hopefully Shania will continue to write/record and be more active with her career and keep us smelling sweet.

Shania is great and will get through this.
Her fans are waiting for her and want to see her back soon.
Making music will get her mind off of this other garbage.

Shania will be back better than ever.
Maybe she won’t be so reclusive anymore and be more happy and make music again instead of wasting her time living a hermit life in Europe.
Her fans love her and want to hear new music from her very soon.

Can’t wait for Shania’s new album and for her to re invent herself like all icons do.
Mutt is quite dumb for ruining such a good thing.

I feel sorry for her and her child. I do not understand how Mutt could do it. Shania is beautiful and talented. YOu wnat to risk your marriage of 14 years down the drain. It is a sad time and I hope she can take it easy and know that her child is her main priority.
