Shania Twain's New Year's resolution? Marriage. The 'Come on Over' country star and Swiss Nestle executive Frederic Thiebaud tied the knot on day one of 2011 in sunny Puerto Rico, her spokesperson tells PEOPLE. "They were married at sunset in Rincon, Puerto Rico, in front of 40 of their closest family and friends," the rep says.
No other details for the nuptials have been released. The couple became engaged two months ago after dating for over a year.
Twain, 45, announced the engagement on her website in December, telling fans, "I'm in love! Frederic Nicolas Thiebaud has been a true gift to me as a compassionate, understanding friend and over time, an amazing love has blossomed from this precious friendship."
The love affair "blossomed" after Twain's ex-husband, music producer Robert "Mutt" Lange, left her in 2008 for the singer's best friend Marie-Anne Thiebaud. Both Lange and ThiƩbaud denied committing adultery, but the heartache brought Twain and Frederic Thiebaud closer together.
The two came clean about their new romance in August 2009 after they were spotted vacationing together in Canada, New York City and Florida.
Twain, a five-time Grammy winner, has been on hiatus since the release of her 2002 album, 'Up!'. Before starting her long break, the Canada native struck pop-country gold over and over and over again with hits like 'You're Still the One,' 'From This Moment On' and 'Any Man of Mine,' along with a string of exclamation point-using gems like 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman!,' 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good!' and 'Up!'.
