Frédéric Thiébaud Praises Shania Twain Ahead of Vegas Birthday Bash

Shania Twain can now add another feat to her impressive resumé — TV star! The country-pop singer is officially set to make an appearance in a brand new TV series.

Ryan Murphy’s upcoming ABC drama, “Doctor Odyssey,” has dropped its new trailer, revealing that Shania herself will appear as a guest star, presumably in the pilot episode. The series is set to premiere on September 26.

Joshua Jackson, Phillipa Soo, Sean Teale, and Don Johnson star in the upcoming ABC medical procedural. Set on a luxury cruise liner, Shania’s special appearance is already being teased to fans. A shot of her from the trailer was shared on the show’s official social media page, with the caption: “This luxury cruise liner is an oasis for legendary guests. We can’t wait to see you on The Odyssey, @shaniatwain!”

Of course, no one felt more of a surge of pride for the singer than her husband Frédéric Thiébaud, who took to his own Instagram Stories with the same photo and expressed his joy: “So proud once again!”

An official description for the series reads: “Max is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship where the staff works hard and plays harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore.”

Frédéric has always been his wife’s biggest cheerleader, ever since they embarked on a relationship between 2009 and 2010, after discovering that their respective spouses at the time were having an affair with each other.

They tied the knot in 2011, and since then, the Nestlé executive has frequently accompanied the “You’re Still the One” singer on tour and her biggest concerts. He’s even acted as an unofficial stage photographer, capturing the show’s best moments.

The couple are currently living on their Las Vegas farm while Shania helms her “Come On Over” residency. The residency will pause tomorrow, August 28, for the singer’s 59th birthday. She’ll return on Thursday and once again on Saturday to close out the month.

Frédéric was by Shania’s side when she flew to the United Kingdom and Ireland for a slate of sold-out shows, including acclaimed performances at Glastonbury (headlining the Sunday Legends slot) and BST Hyde Park. He also paid tribute to her on social media.

After her Glastonbury set, he penned: “EXTREMELY PROUD of this amazing woman @shaniatwain for her amazing Glastonbury performance. You are the absolute BEST!!!!! So much work went into this and so much talent!!! Congrats to the whole team around her – you are all exceptional people!!!!”

He continued to shower her with praise after her Hyde Park show, writing: “No words to say how proud I am of this wonderful lady @shaniatwain for another legendary show @bsthydepark Sunday night. The crowd was one of the best ever. These past few weeks have been totally amazing. Thank you UK, Ireland for such an amazing time!”
