Shania Twain and her husband, producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, have split, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert 'Mutt' Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage," spokesman Jason Owen says in a statement. "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."
Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, married in 1993, just six months after meeting. They are parents to a 6-year-old son, Eja D'Angelo.
In 2002, Twain told PEOPLE of her and Lange's relationship, "Our love has always been based on friendship and compatibility," though, she added, "we are very different."
In early 2000, press reports surfaced that their then seven-year marriage was in trouble, but the couple remained together. Around the same time, Twain all but disappeared from public life, retreating to Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland. "I needed a break, physically and mentally," she explained of her move. "I needed to leave behind the whole 'Shania' thing and be myself."
In the December 2007 issue of Redbook, Twain told the magazine: "I struggled a lot internally with my fame, and coping with it has been very difficult."
As for getting back into the public eye with a new perfume and album to be released this year, she says, "I'm not naturally a spotlight person ... [But] I don't mind being the center of attention in a controlled, comfortable environment."

the other divorced 30 years ago.
my mom and step-dad are getting divorced. that was his 5th marriage. his grandkids have like three grandmas.
but everyone in my family has been married for years & happy so I'm hopeful
its a lot of work but you can make it work :)
my grandparents divorced in 1968 (mom's parents) and 1972 (dad's parents) :(
my parents divorced in 1994
my future husband's parents divorced in 1981
it blows
yet my grandpa and his new wife were married from 1972 until his death this year so i still have some hope.
Insult to injury, so are my parents... who eloped after their first date.
I don't know how I ended up so jaded, m'self. @_o
I think it's better to take the chance (once you've through everything through) and take the risk than to just shun marriage. Then you could miss out.
But tons of people do get divorced, so just make sure you protect your assets beforehand~*~
I'll never marry. I just don't have the desire so it's hard for me to understand those that do.
But I think people rush into marriage way too quickly. I don't think that before the age of 25 people are mentally ready to make a commitment like that. And I don't think that marrying someone after knowing/being with them for short period of time is ever a good idea.
There are tons of people that I know that are married but they only remain so because it's easier than divorcing. They're comfortable in their predictable lives so they're willing to sacrifice ever being really happy.
It's all so sad.
And I see my parents together, but so unhappy about it, and my best friend's dad and step-mom only together because it's too financially difficult to go through the divorce, and I nearly tell my boyfriend that I'll live with him forever, but fuck it if I'm ever getting married.
it's depressing, but that's still half that make it - and you have to think that all the vegas marriages/elizabeth taylors of the world are skewing it a bit.
Santa ClausRene.)That'll never cease to make me shudder.
I'm half serious.
bc the only pic the press literally has of her husband he looks like the beast
ring hollow right now.
Suck it, haters. That song is hot.
This.
<3 the song.
All I know is I'd kill for her home in Switzerland
So which one of them cheated? My money is on Mutt. Everytime he tries to get some action, I imagine her saying "No Shania for you"
and who is it in your icon
