Shania Twain rang in the new year with a seaside wedding!
The singer married Frédéric Thiébaud in Puerto Rico on
New Year's Day!

The couple, who just confirmed their engagement two
weeks ago, tied the note in front of 40 friends and family,
Shania's rep confirmed.

"Love, peace and happiness is taking me in to 2011,"
Shania told fans last month. "I'm feeling refreshed and
optimistic about the future."

As reported, Frédéric, a businessman and triathlete,
became Shania's closest confidante and companion when
both their marriages ended amid reports that their
respective spouses, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange
and Marie-Anne Thiébaud, were having an affair. The
couples had long been friends, spending holidays and
vacations together, and Marie
Anne, was employed by the Shania as a manager and secretary. (Mutt and Marie-Anne denied
they had an affair.)

Shania added, "In the last two and a half years of adjusting to life after separation and divorce, I
needed to lean on others more often than I was accustomed to. These people have been gifts,
and I am fortunate to have so many of these beautiful people — friends, family and beloved fans,
who's support I cherish more deeply with each day that passes."
