Shania Twain: I need time to heal my broken heart

But singer tells fans she will be back

Shania Twain is heartbroken over her split from husband Robert 'Mutt' Lange.

The couple, who have son Eja D'Angelo, 6, announced in May that their 14 year marriage was over.

And Shania, 42, is finding it hard to deal with the break up.

‘As I am sure you have seen or heard; I am going through a rough time personally in my life,’ Shania writes on her official site.

‘I have so much to say but I know the best way for me to speak is through my music.

'I need some time to heal this broken heart but make no mistake; I will be back and hopefully stronger than ever.’

It was rumoured Robert, 59, was having an affair with Marie Anne Thiébaud, a former secretary who worked for the couple.

But they have both strongly denied the claims.

Shania Twain & husband separate

Shania Twain is the latest celebrity whose relationship has not worked out. She and her husband Robert "Mutt" Lange, a producer, have been married since 1993.

"Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage," the singer's spokesman, Jason Owen, said in a statement. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The 42-year-old singer and her 59-year-old husband have a six-year-old son, Eja D'Angelo.

"Our love has always been based on friendship and compatibility," Twain told People in 2002. But she added, "we are very different."

In 2007, she told Redbook: "I struggled a lot internally with my fame, and coping with it has been very difficult."

In other celebrity relationship news, on-again, off-again couple Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson have called it quits again. The duo had been facing rumors of an engagement, but their two month renewed relationship reportedly ran its course.

"It was a pretty bad breakup," a friend of Wilson said. "Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."
