Introduction
In a recent interview on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Shania Twain, now 58, opened up about her personal life, particularly how she has learned to deal with forgiveness. When asked about her past—specifically her ex-husband Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who had an affair with her close friend—Shania responded with remarkable grace.
She explained that everyone makes mistakes, and emphasized that while his actions were painful, she does not carry anger or resentment. “Do I hate my ex-husband for his mistake? No,” she said. “It’s his mistake, not mine.” She added that it’s something he has to live with, but she chooses not to carry that burden herself. Her words were filled with empathy and strength, providing a message of emotional maturity and personal healing for listeners who may struggle with similar situations.
Though the clip is short, Shania’s attitude speaks volumes about her character. It also reflects the resilience that has carried her through both personal and professional hardships—and serves as inspiration to others facing betrayal or emotional challenges.
