After being left heartbroken by her husband of 14 years, Shania Twain has finally found love again but in very unusual circumstances.
The country music singer’s ex-husband, producer Mutt Lange, left her for her best friend in 2008. Now 45-year-old Shania has announced her engagement to that best friend’s ex-husband, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
The real-life wife swap, which sounds like a Jerry Springer episode, saw Shania and 40-year-old Frederic Thiebaud become secretly engaged two months ago in Switzerland.
Despite the unusual situation, Shania is said to be “happier than she’s ever been” to be engaged to 40-year-old Frederic Thiebaud.
Following the breakdown of her first marriage following rumours of her husband and best friend’s affair, Shania turned to Thiebaud for support sparking a friendship.
“We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other. We’ve become closer and stronger through it all,” Shania wrote about their relationship last year.
Thiebaud popped the question with a three-carat, emerald-cut diamond ring worth an estimated $100,000, which he designed.
