Shania Twain Man I Feel Like a Woman Dress

The couple began officially dating in 2009 and got engaged in December 2010. Just one month later — on New Year's Day 2011 — Twain and Thiébaud were married in a small sunset ceremony in Rincon, Puerto Rico.

The Grammy winner and Swiss businessman famously fell in love after Twain split from her husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange, who allegedly had an affair with Thiébaud's then-wife Marie-Anne — Twain's close friend at the time.

"[He] has been the most constant companion and support," Twain explained in 2010. "We leaned on one another through the ups and downs, taking turns holding each other up. We've become stronger and closer through it all, as have our children, Eja and Johanna."

In fact, watching the way Thiébauld dealt with his heartbreak is what made Twain so enamored by him.

"I got to observe Fred going through the same thing I was and I admired how he handled it," Twain said. "That is where I fell in love with him, because he was so exemplary in every way."
