Looks like they made it!
Country superstar Shania Twain is engaged to Frederic Thiebaud, her rep confirms exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly, out Tuesday.
Twain, 45, stepped out with Thiebaud, 40, for a PDA-packed lunch at Serafina's Fabulous Grill in NYC on Thursday with an enormous engagement ring.
PHOTOS: How Shania and Frederic fell in love
"I've never seen Shania so happy," a pal tells Us of the singer. Swiss-born Thiebaud, a Nestle business executive, popped the question about two months ago in Switzerland.
The couple's road to matrimony was an exceptionally complicated one. Thiebaud is the ex-husband of Twain's former best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud -- the woman Robert "Mutt" Lange, Twain's husband of 14 years, abruptly left her for in May 2008. (Both Lange and Marie-Anne denied the affair.)

Twain and Frederic reached out to one another in the wake of the stunning double betrayal, and were spotted vacationing together in Canada, New York City and Florida.
Finally, in August 2009, Twain -- who has a 9-year-old son, Eja, with Lange -- came clean about their new romance.

Writing on her official website, she called Frederic "a dear friend and true gentleman...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."
Adds the Twain pal: "She has ended up with the love of her life."

They're cuties together! So here's the sitch: I wrote a book called Running of the Bride. It's pretty good. And I want to publish it. But, as any writer knows, it's uber difficult to catch an editor's attention unless you have a) a platform, meaning a group of people who already know about and support your work or b) a sex tape. In lieu of losing 10 pounds to prepare for the latter, I'm hoping to build traction by strong-arming innocent people into "liking" my Facebook page. Help a sister out, please! http://tiny.cc/fygi3

Congrats...I think???
To John Merritt: Do you have any proof of these allegations? And if so, are you willing to share that proof? Because until you do, your words mean absolutely nothing other than the fact that they are a pack of lies.
Looks like she traded one ugly guy for another. Wonder how long this one will last?
Hey Jeanie--why do you care if they switched spouses? It's no skin off your @ss. I wish them both the best of luck.
Great job, girl! What a good looking guy!Hope your ugly ex eats his heart out *lol*
People ever hear of "wife swapping"? Um Hum.
I wish Shania all the best to her marriage much much much better than it the first has been. Shania´s son Eja i wish a good substitute daddy and myself that Shania has finally released a new album
You'd think she would have learned a lesson from her first divorce, I mean, didn't her husband of so many years cheat on her for one of her good friends? Men are pigs, trust me.
Is Mutt still with that highly unattractive woman that contributed to the end of his marriage?
My job is officially over but before I go.........Shania Twain has been one of the BIGGEST FRAUDS perpetrated on the music industry and fans worldwide. She has been likened to Jezebel and to blame Robert John solely for their breakup does not tell the whole story. She bleeds mercy from her fans and sulks for two years, writes a tell-all book and creates a new TV show. Meanwhile Mutt goes about his business, says nothing about Eileen (Shania). Why? Because he has more class in his little finger than she does her entire body. What happened to her music career? She can't sing. She has used 2-3 different people (girl look alikes) for her video's, including lip synching throughout her career. It has been reported that these 'body doubles' have also performed at her concerts in place of her, also lip synching. If this is true, she has 'stolen' the hearts and money of many of her fans. Thus, if this is true there are criminal and civil codes and statutes she has violated. If this is true, she can be held accountable for fraud, deception and misrepresentation. If this is true.......Milli Vanilli was ridden out of train on a rail for one bad episode. Shania has an entire career she has to explain......If this is true. Best wishes Shania and Fred and my condolensces to Eja ......if this is true.
good for her...! "mutt" proved to be just that, and then some; let's hope this one is a keeper!
LoL, Wife Swap ... Hope she is truly happy with this one :o)
