Shania Twain Photo Sparks Wedding Rumors


This is the photo that has sparked a million rumors. Shania Twain is spotted holding hands with Frederic Thiébaud -- hands that sport silver bands on their respective wedding ring fingers.

In a story that sounds like it was plucked straight out of a soap opera, Shania and Frederic reportedly started dating just a few months after the two allegedly discovered their spouses were having an affair. Frederic's now ex-wife, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, was a close friend of the country superstar and her then-husband Mutt Lange, and worked as house manager of the couple's Swiss estate. Marie-Ann and Mutt were accused of having a romantic relationship, thus contributing to the demise of both of their marriages.

But does this dramatic story have a happy ending? Did an extramarital affair cosmically bring the jilted parties together, to live happily ever after? Not so fast.

"They are not engaged, and they are not married," a rep for Shania tells 'Extra.'

But there's no denying the two have been spending a lot of time together. In addition to holiday trips together last winter in the U.S. and Europe, Shania and Frederic have been recently photographed relaxing at Shania's lakeside estate with their children.

There's also no doubt Shania is in a happier place as she celebrates her 44th birthday today (Aug. 28). She has gushed in a letter to fans that she has been "experiencing and seeing new things every day, living life with a different and more optimistic attitude." She's also set to make her big television comeback, taking a seat alongside Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi at the 'American Idol' judges' table during auditions in Chicago this Sunday (Aug. 30) and Monday (Aug. 31).

UPDATE: Shania opens up about her relationship with Frederic.

I think there was some swinging going on between these two couples. Why else would she be going out with him? They must have had a relationship before.

Sounds to me like they just exchanged each others ex spouse. Shania is now banging Marie-Ann's ex and Mutt is banging Frederic's ex.

Leave her alone, you people have such mean things to say of someone you don't know.
Let her be happy and I for one wish her much success in her personal and professional life.

come on people, she didn't marry for connections and isn't dating for a better connection now. she had one of the few "real" marriages in this industry. she is the one that had connections and was doing fine on her own. after she married, she pretty much quit the music scene to be a wife and mom. she was extremely happy with that life until her idiot husband cheated on her. c'mon, who cheats on someone like shania? you all sound like bitter, jealous people. tell her to leave the country? tell her she needs someone better looking (superficial!). tell her her relationship wont' last (are a psychic?). leave the girl alone and let her be happy.

Why do you people even care what Shania does or for that matter any celebrity? Do you really care what anyone thinks of what you do? In other words, mind your own business and just take care of yourself.
