Shania Twain Gets Married in Puerto Rico

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 1st 2011 11:04PM

Shania Twain's New Year's resolution? Marriage. The 'Come on Over' country star and Swiss Nestle executive Frederic Thiebaud tied the knot on day one of 2011 in sunny Puerto Rico, her spokesperson tells PEOPLE. "They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends," the rep says.

No other details for the nuptials have been released. The couple became engaged two months ago after dating for over a year.

Twain, 45, announced the engagement on her website in December, telling fans, "I'm in love! Frederic Nicolas Thiebaud has been a true gift to me as a compassionate, understanding friend and over time, an amazing love has blossomed from this precious friendship."

The love affair "blossomed" after Twain's ex-husband, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, left her in 2008 for the singer's best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud. Both Lange and Thiébaud denied committing adultery, but the heartache brought Twain and Frederic Thiebaud closer together.

The two came clean about their new romance in August 2009 after they were spotted vacationing together in Canada, New York City and Florida.

Twain, a five-time Grammy winner, has been on hiatus since the release of her 2002 album, 'Up!'. Before starting her long break, the Canada native struck pop-country gold over and over and over again with hits like 'You're Still the One,' 'From This Moment On' and 'Any Man of Mine,' along with a string of exclamation point-using gems like 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,' 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good!' and 'Up!'.

So, she marries the husband of her ex-best friend who cheated with her ex-husband? And people think this rebound marriage really has a chance? I know, I know, people are thinking, "How can you be so negative?" I bet they're not together January 2, 2012.

Friend of mine went thru same type scenario. The couple who got dumped are still married after over 20 years, the cheating pair did not last as a couple. I wish this couple a long happy marriage.

she married the man who was married to the woman "mutts" with now talk about a bimbo she is one and talk about regifting

By Cris

Best wishes to Shania and Frederic and happiness forever. His ex and her ex were two sneaky horndogs and treated both of them shabbily...and he is a foxy fine gentleman wherein Mutt, well--the name fits the person. I wish them all the joy and love they can get as they are living proof that living well is ultimately the best revenge...

By barger

Marriage is like taking a bath ,after you been in it awhile it ain't so hot! Nowdays I take showers.

By Sue

Barger: All depends on what you make that bathing experience. personally candles, music, nice scents...makes for a lovely experience. Doubt if you had the imagination to make your experience red hot.

By mommymoon

She is another.... thats all about the money.
She has been a big let down to her fans.
The fans that bought all her music that made her money.
She doesn't even sing now does she?
ONE big cd then dumps everyone for Switzerland.

By Dean

USA not good enough for this skank to get married in?

Sue, you're a romantic. That's nice, but the odds aren't with these people. Most of them are spoiled celebrities who get their way 99% of the time. They aren't like your friends. They'll tire of each other. Their relationship is based on rebound and maybe even revenge. They'll be together less than a year, let alone 20.

By rayne

Well, the weirdest situations can bring people together through their pain of being cheated on they might have something special. Good for them.

By suspicious
