Noted South African singer and record producer Mutt Lange is arguably equally famous for being Shania Twain’s ex-husband. The two married way back in 1993, and divorced in 2010, but not before collaborating on a range of projects which Lange himself oversaw. While things did not work out between the two, it appears that Twain has finally come to terms with the controversial way in which their marriage broke down.
Mutt Lange was reportedly involved in an affair with Shania Twain’s close friend, Marie-Anne Thiébaud, which ultimately led to their divorce in 2010. In a May 28 episode of Great Company with Jaime Laing podcast, Twain claimed that she had finally forgiven her former partner, and understood the guilt he must feel.
"Do I hate my ex-husband for making a mistake? No. It's his mistake. Not my mistake..So sad for him that he made such a great mistake that he has to live with. And I don't know what that is, but it's not ... That's not my weight," she continued.
Regardless, being a successful music producer and songwriter, Mutt Lange himself boasts of a massive net worth, presently estimated to be around $225 million by Celebrity Net Worth.
