Canadian-born music superstar Shania Twain, 42, leads a relatively press-free lifestyle. She lives in the French area of Switzerland and in New Zealand, and only occasionally pops up in the states for an event. She hasn’t released an album in nearly four years, since her Greatest Hits came out in 2004. Considering how ubiquitous her songs are, she probably doesn’t need to work for some time, but she’s about to come back into the spotlight. She is quoted at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May, 2007, as saying that she was doing a “lot of soul searching” and “indulging in the writing [of new music].” She said she hopes to have an album out sometime in the following year, which would be around now. [Details from Wikipedia]
Maybe Twain was hinting at issues in her 14 year marriage when she said she was doing some soul searching. Her rep has announced that she is separating from her producer husband, Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, 59, after 14 years of marriage. They have a six year old son together, Eja D’Angelo.
People Magazine notes that Shania also has a new perfume coming out this year. She is quoted saying that she struggled with her fame, which is thought to be why she moved to Switzerland in 2000. Maybe it was time for her to let go of a troubled relationship or maybe it’s been over for some time and since she’s about to make a comeback it was time to announce it.
Shania and Robert produced her 1998 hit song “You’re Still The One” together. It is thought to be aimed at critics of their relationship when they first started dating in the mid 90s. Robert is 17 years older than Shania and their relationship was met with skepticism.
Shania Twain is shown on 5/15/07 at the Academy of Country Music Awards, Thanks to WENN.

the critics made comments about her marriage? She married a music producer. HE is the reason we know who she is…he renamed her, packaged her etc. Her real name is Eileen.
It is sad that they have decided to end their marriage, as they have a child. 14 years is a substantial marriage but she married the man who would help her career.
It happens all the time

So sad !

Is she still famous?
Gotta love the internet. Turning hasbeens into somebodies.

Maybe he dumped her because he wasn’t getting laid? Or they had a deal that he could get some on the side and that fell apart? Supposedly she belongs to an odd religion that only believes is having sex when the intent is to procreate.
Some guys are extremely undersexed, so he could be fine with it–just tossing out a suggestion.

she doesnt release any new music b/c she doesnt have to — she/them are freaking crazy rich in their castle and horses and $$$$ in the bank.

Every marriage is a mystery - some more than others.

Yeah, they’re pretty loaded. Mutt Lange has been a top producer for decades. Neither probably has to work at all if they don’t want to.
-
They probably just got sick of each other since he’s a recluse and they were probably either holed up in their chateau in Switzerland or at the ranch in New Zealand. Plus he’s going to be 60 on his next birthday and she’s only 42. That’s a huge age difference.

Lovely woman, love that dress too. But she helped undermine country music and turned it into psuedo-pop music, according to my dad. He hates Garth Brooks for the same reason.
So can we anticipate an Alanis Morrisette style pissed off album out of this ?

have you seen mutt? he is one of the ugliest people on earth. Why are people surprised about this break up. me for one, thought when they first got married that there was no way in hell the merrage would last more than 3 years. She is so damn fine, and he is just so, well rich.

Very sad… They seemed like such a great couple :o(

Meh. She’ll be fine. Don’t know about the kid. Probably fine too. My bet is she’ll go back to that guy she was seeing before Lange got too clingy. Twain’s always struck me as a pretty tough, doesn’t put up with a lot of crap kind of gal. I wouldn’t be surprised if she even called the shots in arranging the marriage as a business arrangement. I’m not surprised it’s come to this. I will be surprised if she can make it work with a regular guy. Good luck to her.

What about BJs and anal? Are they allowed? If not forget that!

she made a name for herself before she met him, if you knew anything about her you would know that
