Everything We Know About Shania Twain’s Son Eja Lange

In 2001, Shania Twain, the legendary queen of country pop, welcomed her one and only son Eja Lange with her then-husband Robert “Mutt” Lange. In an interview on CBC, Twain described her son’s arrival as a life-changing one. Her priorities shifted, and he became her focus every single day. And there wasn’t any single hint of regret for the singer because, according to her, Eja brought so much more love into her life. 

And now, twenty years later, where is Shania Twain’s son? There was very little that his mom shared on her Instagram about him, just a few birthday messages over the years. And Eja has been off the social media grid too – quite unheard of for someone with a celebrity mom and a Gen Z at that.

Let’s take a look at what we’ve managed to find out about him. 

Growing up

Eja (pronounced ‘Asia’) D’Angelo Lange was born on August 12, 2001, to parents Shania Twain and Robert Lange. Eja grew up in Switzerland, where his mom felt she would be able to provide a normal upbringing for him and where he could be ‘well-rounded, humble, and honest.’ According to Twain, she and her then-husband never kept their son inside a bubble, and they always went out of their way to try and keep him appreciative. 

At six years old, Eja formed a bond with food. Twain shared in an interview that he liked cooking and always loved to help out in the kitchen. And on his birthdays, his mom would bake him a cake as a gift. 

When Eja turned 7, his parents separated after his dad cheated on his mom with his mom’s friend Marie-Anne Thiébaud. While it was a painful time for both of them, it definitely brought them closer. Twain focused her energy on Eja and made sure that he was healthy and happy in every way. Then three years later, Eja found a father in Frederic Thiébaud, the ex-husband of Marie Anne and his mom’s new husband. In an interview with the singer, Frederic had been a constant companion for her and her son. And having gone through the same suffering, he understood her better than anyone. Aside from a father, Eja also gained a sibling named Johanna. 

Following the musical footsteps 

It isn’t surprising that Eja has grown to be musically inclined, just like his parents. His mom is a singer with five Grammy awards for songwriting and performance, while his record producer dad also has five in songwriting and production. It’s in his genes

Back in 2017, Twain shared with Sounds Like Nashville that Eja had been passionately making his own music for already a few years at the time. He is definitely into EDM but has a broad spectrum in terms of taste and listens to different kinds of music. Twain added, “Hans Zimmer is one of his biggest heroes.”

Unlike his mom, though, Eja isn’t interested in performing. He is more of a behind-the-scenes guy, creating and arranging music and writing lyrics, which ventures more into his dad’s realm of creativity. And honestly speaking, the singer preferred it to be that way. She expressed that Eja has a quiet sense of confidence, and he doesn’t have that extroverted personality, so being a creator definitely suited him better. 

Enjoying music together

Now that Shania Twain’s son Eja Lange has grown into a musician with his own color and voice, he and his mom have been having collaboration sessions. In 2021, when Twain appeared on Live with Kelly and Ryan, she shared that they would get into the studio together and send each other ideas every once in a while.

Though she pointed out that they work on different systems – she on Pro Tool and guitars and Eja on Logic and synthesizers – so things can get a little complicated. Nevertheless, they work on sending music back and forth. She even teased that maybe someday they would come up with something really great. 

But what Twain is most thankful for her son is inspiring her to get treatment. She was on her long sabbatical following her Lyme disease diagnosis, and Eja growing up and becoming more independent, she started thinking about her life with an empty nest. That was when she decided to refocus on her voice and just put all her energy into it. And then, when she found a glimpse of hope, she didn’t hesitate and ran with it. Twain underwent open-throat surgery and is now back on stage. She even released an album earlier this year titled ‘Queen of Me.’

Eja Lange Today

Eja Lange spends most of his time nowadays away from home. That was why Twain had to get herself another little baby, a dog named Camper, to keep her company. 

Aside from music, it looks like he is also interested in real estate. In 2020, Dirt revealed that the young musician bought a starter house – a 1961 mid-century home – in Tinseltown, on the East side of Los Feliz for $1.8 million. The 2,300-square-foot estate was extensively renovated in 2014. As of 2022, he has an estimated net worth of $550,000. 

Eja Lange and his mother, Shania Twain, have been through a lot together. But with every up and down, they were there for each other. And now, they are enjoying a life full of love, happiness, and music. Hopefully, we’ll get a song from both of them in the years to come.
