Is Shania Twain married?

Shania has been married twice.

Her first marriage to Mutt Lange broke down when he left her for her best friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud.

Speaking to The Sun she said: “I thought that marriage was forever. I really, really believed that. I thought, ‘I’m safe. This creative relationship is forever.' And I really counted on that.

“I never even considered that it would ever be different. I was committed and that would be the rest of my life. I was sure of that.

“So when that fell away, the marriage fell away, the friendship falls away with that, and every part of that falls away. And of course, the musical collaboration fell away.”

She and Lange have one son, Eja, who was born on August 12, 2001.

However, in an extraordinarily happy twist, Shania married Frederic Thiebaud who was the husband of the best friend who betrayed her, in 2011.

The divorce brought about ­independence, both in life and music for Shania.

She explained: “I think, for me, love is a gift. It’s a necessity. But you’re still lucky if you have it, so you can’t count on it.

“And I guess in that sense, that’s where my survival instincts come in.

“If I had never found love again, I’m not going to lay down and die. But I’m very lucky that I did.

“And that of course re-energizes all of the inspiration that any creative person needs. Falling in and out of love is always an inspiration to be creative, for me.”

What is Shania Twain's net worth?

Shania's net worth is estimated to be nearly $400million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The Queen of Country Pop was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2003 and later received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011.

She has won a total of five Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards and 27 BMI Songwriter awards.

What condition does Shania Twain have?

Shania was left unable to sing for several years after she was diagnosed with Lyme disease due to a bite from an infected tick while horseback riding in Norfolk, Virginia in 2003.

The infection caused nerve damage to her vocal cords which led to her losing her voice.

Over the years Shania has had several throat surgeries as well as taking time out from performing.

However, she is now able to sing again and had taken to the stage since.
