The “That Don\u2019t Impress Me Much” singer offered a glimpse into her complex feelings towards her ex-husband and her challenging past.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite his high-profile work with artists like Celine Dion and AC\/DC, Robert has kept a low profile since their 2008 divorce. Reflecting on the betrayal, Shania revealed she doesn\u2019t harbor hatred towards Robert, 75.<\/span><\/p>\n Shania emphasized that forgiveness for her is about letting go and understanding the other person, even if their actions were wrong. “Forgiveness is in the family of letting go.

No.\u00a0It’s his mistake, not my mistake,” she explained. “So sad for him that he made such a great mistake that he has to live with. And I don\u2019t know what that is, but it\u2019s not\u2026 That\u2019s not my weight.”<\/span><\/p>\n Shania\u2019s personal life took another twist when she married Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Thi\u00e9baud, Marie-Anne’s ex-husband, in 2011.
