Behind their newlywed smiles, Shania and husband Frederic Thiebaud are hiding their painful struggle with infertility.
Now that Shania Twain, 45, has a fresh start with Frederic Thiebaud, 40 — after their spouses, Mutt Lange and Marie-Anne Thiebaud, embarked on a heartbreaking affair together — the country songstress is hoping to have a baby with her new husband. But their baby dreams have been shattered by a hidden battle with infertility. 

There’s a baby secret behind Shania and Frederic’s surprise New Year’s wedding. The couple can’t wait to add a new addition to their family!
Country songstress Shania Twain and her new husband Frederic Thiebaud are eager to have a baby very soon! Pals of the couple, who exchanged vows in Rincon, Puerto Rico on New Year’s Day, say they are ready to start their own family! “Shania feels that having a baby with Frederic will make their new life complete,” a friend tells the National Enquirer. “Ideally, she’d like to carry the child herself, but due to her age she hasn’t ruled out having a surrogate or adopting.”

The singer, who was dumped by her husband two-and-a-half years ago, has finally rebounded from heartbreak, and her son is at least partially responsible for her new love.
Shania Twain had a pretty public heartbreak back in May 2008, when her husband of 14 years, music producer Mutt Lange, reportedly left her for another woman. Even worse, it was rumored that the woman was Shania’s best friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud. Suddenly single, Shania turned to Marie-Anne’s likewise spurned husband, Frédéric Thiébaud, for support. Flashforward to today, and the pair are engaged, and pals say their children brought them closer together!
