The love remains strong between Shania Twain and Frédéric Thiébaud, who are constantly supportive of each other through their many globe-trotting adventures.

Recently, the two were seen together celebrating the last show of the first leg of the Queen of Me global tour, plus outfits galore, which concluded its first run of North American shows in New Orleans last month.

The singer-songwriter, 57, has been raking in attendees in the thousands on her tour, and a latest achievement was spotlighted by Frédéric on social media.

The couple had a whirlwind romance – they got engaged in December 2010 and tied the knot just one month later on New Year's Day in a sunset beach celebration in Puerto Rico.

In an interview with The Guardian in January ahead of the release of Queen of Me, she acknowledged the impact her ex-husband's work had on her sound as an artist.

"I really recognize him as one of the greats," she said. "With or without the personal life, there's nothing bad to say about the incredible music that was created. He was an important part of the story – not as an ex-husband, as an ex-music collaborator."
