- Twain says she’d rather be alone with her guitar during marital issues. Her husband has a different approach. (businessinsider.com)
Shania Twain credits open communication as a cornerstone of her marriage to Fred Thiébaud, highlighting how his willingness to express emotions has strengthened their bond.
In a recent interview with People, the country music star shared that her husband’s commitment to addressing issues head-on has been instrumental in maintaining a healthy relationship. “He’s really good at reminding both of us that we have to keep communication open,” Twain said. She described Thiébaud as “the greatest talker” who isn’t hesitant to share his feelings, a quality she deeply values.
While Twain considers herself a good communicator, she tends to process marital challenges by reflecting alone-often meditating or playing her guitar. Thiébaud, on the other hand, prefers to work through difficulties together.
“Fred wants to talk about it. He wants to talk it through, and he wants to fix it,” she explained.
“And that’s the best advice. I mean, he’s not wrong.”
The couple’s story is notably unique, as they found love after their previous spouses were involved in an affair with each other. Married since 2011, Twain describes Thiébaud as her “forever true love,” emphasizing that finding the right partner can sometimes take years. She cherishes the deep gratitude and enduring romance in their relationship.
Twain joins a growing number of celebrities who openly discuss the keys to lasting relationships. For instance, basketball star Stephen Curry has spoken about confronting tension together rather than avoiding it, while actor Seth Rogen credits evolving together as a couple to maintaining compatibility over time.
Together, these insights underscore the importance of communication, mutual growth, and commitment in sustaining strong partnerships.
