Robert “Mutt” Lange and Marie-Anne Thiébaud are still together.
Shania Twain confirmed her ex-husband’s current relationship status with her former best friend 15 years after the couple’s affair broke up the country superstar’s marriage.
“Armchair Expert” co-hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman admitted in Monday’s episode of their podcast that they were “really nervous” to bring up Lange’s infidelity while interviewing Twain, but the “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer reassured them that she is not “embarrass[ed]” by the 2008 scandal.
Twain, 57, noted that she and Lange, 74, who were married for 14 years before their split, now only keep in touch in reference to their 21-year-old son, Eja.
“Mutt and I parent well together — for people who don’t talk to each other,” the Grammy winner explained. “We’ll just text.
“We both love our son so much, so we don’t play any games like that,” she continued. “We have the same priority; we share spaces for him. No nonsense there.”
Twain has been married to Thiébaud ex-husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, since 2011, with Shepard, 48, joking that the former couple played “musical chairs.”
Twain clarified that she “didn’t really know Fréd very well” before his ex-wife cheated with her husband.
After the betrayal, “it was a beautiful surprise” for the “Come on Over” songstress to see “how gracefully and graciously he was dealing with navigating the same pain.”
While Twain felt “fragile” over the duplicity, the businessman, 52, seemed “thoughtful.”
She noted, “Fréd’s so smart. This is one of the smartest people I know, [and] he didn’t know [about the affair] either. That helped me feel better.”
Adding that “everyone gets what they deserve,” Twain gushed, “I got what I deserve. I got the greatest man on the planet.”
Although Twain has remained mostly tight-lipped about her scandalous divorce over the years, she did give some rare insight in her July 2022 documentary, “Not Just a Girl.”
The “Waking Up Dreaming” performer compared her breakup to the “similarly intense” pain of losing her parents in the Netflix release.
Twain once ran into Marie-Anne later in life, which she told Andy Cohen gave her a “total panic attack.”
She recalled in the 2015 interview, “I just told her that she was a bad person. That’s all I could get out!”
