"They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends." Us Weekly first broke the news of their engagement in December.
Twain began dating Thiebaud in 2009.
She had split from her husband Robert "Mutt" Lange in May 2008 after she discovered that Lange had an affair with her longtime best friend and Thiebaud's ex-wife, Marie Anne, who managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland.

In the wake of the betrayal, Twain and Frederic leaned on one another, and a romance bloomed.
