Shania Twain and Mutt Lange are kaput, according to published sources.

The 14-year marriage seems to have come unhinged after Twain claims to havediscovered her husband in an affair with the manager of the couple's Swiss chateau, Marie Ann Thiébaud.

Lange, however, claims those reports aren't so. According to People magazine, he says, "It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]. It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." He also says he he is not having an affair with Thiébaud: "I'm not, no," he said. "It's not true."

Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, married in 1993. They have a 6-year-old son, Eja (pronounced "Asia") D'Angelo. Twain is best known for her hits "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" and "You're Still the One." Lange produced three of Twain's albums: 1995's "The Woman in Me," 1997's "Come on Over" and 2002's "Up!"
