Just 12 days after announcing their engagement, Shania Twain and Frédéric Thiébaud have married in the Caribbean. The 45-year-old Canadian country singer wed the 40-year-old Swiss businessman in an intimate ceremony on the island of Puerto Rico on New Year's Day. The star's representative confirmed to People magazine: "They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends."

Their wedding comes two and a half years after they discovered their respective ex-spouses were allegedly having an affair. Twain was devastated to discover her first husband Robert 'Mutt' Lange got together with the singer's best friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud — the ex-wife of Thiébaud. After initially consoling each other in the aftermath of the marriage breakdowns, Twain and Thiébaud's friendship developed into love, with the country star revealing their engagement on December 21. When she announced their engagement on her personal website, an ecstatic Twain wrote: "I am excited to share some personal news with you; I'm in love! Frederic Nicolas Thiébaud has been a true gift to me as a compassionate, understanding friend and over time, an amazing love has blossomed from this precious friendship. Fred and I are happy to announce our engagement!" Friends of the couple claim they got engaged in Switzerland — where they both live — in October, but kept it secret until last month. The couple were photographed together in New York two weeks ago, with Twain showing off a US$100,000 three-carat, emerald-cut diamond engagement ring.

In the real-life wife-swap story, Lange is still living with Marie-Anne and both couples have a friendly relationship for the sake of their children. Shania and her ex-husband, who finalised their divorce in June, share custody of their son Eja, nine, and the Thiébauds have a daughter, also nine.

Christina Aguilera and her new boyfriend share a very public lunch date at paparazzi hot spot

Perhaps they WANTED to be seen. If not, Christina Aguilera and her new boyfriend chose the wrong restaurant for a lunch date. The 30-year-old Burlesque star walked hand-in-hand with Matthew Rutler as they left the Ivy in West Hollywood yesterday. Christina kept her head down as her burly bodyguard pushed through the throng of photographers, who gather daily outside the Hollywood hot spot. After filing for divorce from her husband earlier this year, she has been adjusting to life as a single mom. But that might not be for too much longer as Christina has introduced her new man to her two-year-old son Max, which could suggest things are getting serious for the new couple. The group enjoyed some quality family time together at The Petersen Automotive Museum.

Christina, who married Bratman in 2005, filed for divorce, blaming her first feature film Burlesque for driving the couple apart. And although the singer met her current beau on the set of the film where he worked as her assistant, she insists that they only started dating after she filed for divorce. "Matthew is a special person, we had a really strong friendship on the movie. Once I filed for divorce, we started dating," she told People magazine.
