Shania Twain doesn’t  »regret » her husband cheating on her with her friend.

Asked what she would say if she ran into Marie Anne, Shania – who is now married to Marie-Anne’s ex-husband Frédéric – said:  »I’d say, ‘I wish I’d never met you’.

 »I think there are just some people in life you would say, ‘I wish I hadn’t met this person or I would have been better off not ever knowing that person’.

 »But I can’t say I would be better off because I think I learned a lot from all of that. I don’t regret it. »

The 49-year-old singer recalled having a panic attack when she first saw her friend after the affair was exposed and admitted she didn’t know what to do.

Speaking on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, she said:  »You know, you panic in those situations. I didn’t know what to do. »

The 49-year-old singer completed a two-year Las Vegas residency in December 2014 and admitted it was a  »hill » she needed to get through to boost her confidence before considering working on a new album as it would be her first music without her producer ex-husband on board.

She said:  »I needed to get over a different hill in my career without him before tackling an album.

 »Now that I’m through Vegas and that was success, I built a lot of confidence. »
