The Hollywood love story of Shania Twain and her husband Frédéric Thiébaud actually took place largely in Switzerland.
The handsome executive and the stunning country crooner met when they were each married to other people—Twain to Robert “Mutt” Lange and Frédéric to Twain’s BFF and assistant Marie-Anne Thiébaud. Lange and Marie-Anne allegedly had an affair, leaving Twain and Frédéric to console one another as their own respective marriages crumbled. It was from this moment (see what we did there?) that their love was born.
