Shania’s husband asks for a divorce

According to People, Lange suddenly told Shania that he wanted a divorce in the summer of 2008, but didn’t give her a full reason for the end of their 14-year marriage.

Shania went to her best friend and assistant Marie-Anne for advice. “I said, ‘Marie-Anne, don’t you think my husband is acting strange?'” Twain told Oprah. “And she said, ‘No, I don’t see anything strange.'”

It turns out that Marie-Anne was not telling the truth. She was reportedly having an affair with Lange.

Although Lange denied it, telling People that the breakup was “literally just a growing apart,” Shania herself later confirmed the infidelity.
