Shania Twain revealed the relationship status of a certain twosome.
On Monday’s episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast, the country music star was deep in conversation with host Dax Shepard when he finally asked a question that many Twain fans will surely be curious about.
About an hour and 10 minutes into the chat, a “nervous” Shepard asked if music producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, Twain’s ex-husband was still with Marie-Anne Thiebaud.
In 2008, “Man! I feel like a woman!” The singer was embroiled in a scandal when Lange left her after 14 years of marriage for Thiebaud, who was Twain’s best friend at the time.
In response to Shepard, Twain road sign she was no longer embarrassed by the betrayal and confirmed that Lange was still with Thiebaud.
The singer said that while she communicates with her ex about their 21-year-old son, she doesn’t tell the couple otherwise and “never has.”
“Mutt and I parent well together — with people who don’t talk to each other,” the Grammy winner explained. “We’ll just send messages. We both love our son so much, so we don’t play games like that.”
She added: “We have the same priority: sharing spaces for him. No nonsense there.
Twain also said in “Armchair Expert” that he had a hard time dealing with infidelity.
“I was uncontrollably fragile because of it, which I’ve never felt before, because I used to think I was stable,” said Twain, who opened up about his difficult childhood at the start of the episode. “I really thought, I’m safe.”
But there was one big branch for Twain amid the scandal. In 2011, Stshe ended up marrying Thiebaud’s ex-husband, Fred Thiebaud, and is still with him today.

Twain said she “didn’t know Fred very well” before Lange’s affair, but fell in love with him after seeing “how gracefully and graciously he bore the same pain.”
“Fred is so smart. This is one of the smartest people I know, [and] I did not know [about the affair] either,” said Twain. “That made me feel better.”
He added that “everyone gets what they deserve.”
“I got what I deserved,” Twain said. “I have the biggest man on the planet.”
As for Marie-Anne Thiebaud, the “You’re Still the One” singer has never shied away from expressing her dislike for her former bestie.
In 2015, when talk show host Andy Cohen asked if he had any words for his ex-girlfriend, Twain said: “I wish I never met you.”
He added: “That would be it. … I think there are some people in life to whom you would say, “I wish I had never met that person.”
But she changed her mind later in the interview, telling Cohen that she, too, grew from the experience.
“I can’t say I’m better because I think I’ve learned a lot from all of this. I have no regrets,” he said.
