Country superstar Shania Twain and her husband, producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, have split after almost a decade of marriage, her rep has confirmed.
"Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage," spokesman Jason Owen said in a statement. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, married in 1993 just six months after meeting. They have a 6-year-old son, Eja D'Angelo.
In 2002, Twain told People magazine that she and Lange's relationship "has always been based on friendship and compatibility", adding, "we are very different."
In the December 2007 issue of Redbook magazine, Twain admitted that she struggles with being in the public eye.
"I struggled a lot internally with my fame, and coping with it has been very difficult," she said. "I'm not naturally a spotlight person... [but] I don't mind being the center of attention in a controlled, comfortable environment."
After a few years out of the public eye, Twain is set to re-launch her career with a new album to be released this year, and a new perfume, she said.
