A close friend of Shania’s told People magazine that Twain is “devastated. This came out of left field … She loved him.”

Longtime friends close to the situation say that Marie Ann Thiébaud, a longtime secretary and manager of the couple’s chateau outside Geneva, Switzerland, was at the center of the break-up.

“It’s absolutely not the reason for the separation,” famously reclusive producer Mutt Lange said when asked about the alleged affair. He also denied that he was in a romantic relationship with Thiébaud: “I’m not, no,” he said. “It’s not true.”

“Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship,” another source told People.
