Shania Twain's Letter to Fans: 'I'm Enjoying Life'
Originally posted 06/12/2009 01:00PM
It's been over a year since country star Shania Twain, who split from her husband producer Robert "Mutt" Lange in May 2008 following his affair with her best friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 38, a longtime secretary and manager of the couple's chateau in Switzerland.
And she's telling fans she's doing just fine.
"[I'm] managing very well, in fact," writes Twain in a letter to her fan club on her Web site. "I'm enjoying my child, friends and family like I haven't in years, and it's great . . . I've been experiencing and seeing new things every day, living life with a different and more optimistic attitude."
The singer's last public appearances included her triumphant return to the CMA Awards in November and a Manhattan shopping spree and a fun-filled Florida vacation in December with Thiebaud's ex-husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, 39.

Shania Twain Is Singing the Blues

Two months after her split from producer-songwriter husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange, Shania Twain has found strength in the two things that mean the most to her – her 6-year-old son, Eja D'Angelo, and her music.
"She's spending as much time with Eja as possible and hasn't put down her guitar since the split," a source close to singer tells PEOPLE. "The songs are pouring out of her."
No doubt some of them – like many great country songs – are inspired by heartache. Twain, 42, announced her separation from Lange, 59, in May, after she found out about his alleged affair with one of her best friends.

First Photo of Alleged Other Woman in Shania Twain Split
Originally posted 05/22/2008 06:15AM
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.
