Posted December 5, 200816 yr http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/news/081215/shania_twain.jpg Shania Twain Arrives in New York with Surprising Companion Three weeks after getting a standing ovation for her surprise appearance at the CMA Awards, Shania Twain turned up in Manhattan Thursday with a number of friends from Switzerland, Nashville and Virginia for a weekend of Christmas shopping. Among her group of pals? Frederic Thiébaud, the ex-husband of Twain's former best friend who sources say broke up the country star's marriage to Robert "Mutt" Lange. Twain and Thiébaud were photographed arriving from Switzerland at JFK airport together. Back in May, Twain, 43, split from her producer husband Lange, 60. Though Lange denied having an affair to PEOPLE, sources close to the situation told PEOPLE that he was involved with Marie-Anne Thiébaud, a close friend and manager of the couple's chateau in Switzerland. The two couples had socialized together for years. Twain – who has been staying strong after the split – came to New York City to "hang and shop," says a source close to her. Among her group of pals is Thiébaud, whom the singer has considered a friend since the days when their families were close. Adds the source: "She loves NYC during the holidays." Source According to People magazine, the pair are just friends. It looks to me like Star are jumping to conclusions and for all the wrong reasons. Oh, how things work out! Shania Twain smiled radiantly after touching down at New York's JFK Airport on Thursday following a flight from Switzerland. Perhaps her pearly-white grin was a result of her hunky traveling companion? Sources tell Star that get this the fella is the husband of the woman who allegedly had an affair with Shania's husband. If you remember, when Shania and her music producer hubby, Robert "Mutt" Lange, announced the end of their marriage, it was alleged that they split because he was having an affair with Marie-Anne Thiebaud, who was the longtime secretary and house manager at Shania and Mutt's Switzerland estate. Marie-Anne and her businessman husband, triathlete Frédéric Thiebaud, were close friends and often their two families would vacation and spend holidays together. Close indeed. Last month, Shania made her first public appearance since the split by appearing at the Country Music Awards in Nashville. The audience greeted her with a rousing ovation, and Kenny Chesney, whom she presented with an award, remarked on how great the post-split star looked. Perhaps the true secret to how great she looks is her hot new romance. Do you think Shania and Frédéric make a handsome couple? Think they're a good match or would you like her to date someone outside of the Twain-Lange/Thiebaud romantic quagmire?
December 5, 200816 yr Author Shania Twain Love Quadrancle Normally one of the most private stars around, Shania Twain caused a bit of commotion yesterday at JFK Airport when she hopped off a plane from Switzerland with a hunky companion. The twist? Her new tall, dark and handsome is apparently the husband of the woman who split her marriage apart. Follow that? Back in May, the country mega-star separated from her husband of 14 years, Robert Mutt Lange, who described their falling out as just a growing apart, thats all. But word later leaked that the private pair apparently called it quits over Mutts wandering eye, which allegedly landed on none other than the couples trusted secretary and manager of their Swiss mansion, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, who later denied the affair. Her husband,businessman Frederic Thiébaud, has been identified as Shanias traveling companion. Graeme Massie of Splash News was at JFK when the pair emerged together off a flight from Geneva. They were walking side by side, he told Scandalist. But as soon as they saw photographers they looked at each other and laughed, and he dropped back. He also revealed that Shania and Frederic stood apart while waiting for their limo, then looked relaxed once inside the ride. Could it be because Shanias finally gettin some love from a pure-breed stud and not a Mutt? Source
