LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Country singer Shania Twain and her husband have split, a rep for Shania told People.

“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.”

Shania, 42, and Robert, 59, married on December 28, 1993. They have a six-year-old son named Eja.

The couple is known for famously isolating themselves from the media at their home Switzerland in-between Shania’s infrequent press appearances for her albums. He is extremely private and the couple has hardly ever been photographed together.
