Shania Twain is starting off the new year as a newlywed!

PHOTOS: Shania and Frederic's road to romance

The singer, 45, wed Frederic Thiebaud, 40, on New Year's Day in Puerto Rico, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. "They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends."

Us Weekly first broke the news of her engagement in December. Twain, who began dating Thiebaud in 2009, split from her husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange in May 2008 after he had an affair with her longtime best friend, Thiebaud's ex-wife, Marie Anne, who also managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland. In the wake of the betrayal, Twain and Frederic leaned on one another, and a romance developed.

Guess no time for an engagement party, bridal luncheon, bridal shower or a bachelorette party huh? Wish them well.

My comment disappeared! I said it is "Wife Swapping" and people did that a lot in the '60's. Mutt was ridiculed for what he did, but she is blessed? Funny the way things turn out.

Yep! It's called "Wife Swapping". Lots of people did it in the 60's.

Boy, Shania certainlt doesn't let any grass grow under her feet. I heard she was having a difficult time finding content for her new show. I can honestly state Shania was one in a million, now she is just one of a billion. Five years tops.
