Twain met Thiébaud in Switzerland back in the '90s when the singer and her then-husband Lange hired Thiébaud's wife, Marie-Anne, to assist the family and help take care of their home. "Their two families would vacation and spend holidays together," a source told PEOPLE. "Shania considered Marie-Anne one of her best friends."
