LeAnn Rimes Shares Steamy Photo With Eddie Cibrian From Romantic Trip

An Official Hard Launch

Though Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes' origin story is, in a word, complicated, the pair we're asking, how do I live with you once they met on the 2009 Lifetime movie Northern Lights.  

Months after Us Weekly reported that March that the two were having an affair, Cibrian filed to end his marriage to Brandi Glanville while Rimes and dancer Dean Sheremet announced they'd ended their union as well. 

With the legal paperwork underway, the duo began stepping out in public, attending an August 2009 Kings of Leon concert in L.A., vacationing in Mexico the following March and attending the April 2010 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. 

Happy Birthday to Her

What happened in Vegas for Rimes' 28th birthday in September 2010, "Eddie gave me some rose gold bangles which were beautiful," she told People. "It was very sweet."

The singer also opened up about having Cibrian—plus his sons Mason and Jake—living in her L.A. pad. "It's quite chaotic," she acknowledged. "I went from being by myself to having two kids in the house. It's really amazing. They're really incredible."

Beach Babes

After marrying in an intimate ceremony at a private L.A. home in April 2011, the couple (enjoying a beach day for his 40th birthday in June 2013) moved into a larger, six-bedroom spread and started talking about filling it up. 

"It took my mom 12 years to have me. I hope I don't have that [issue] but if I do, then a surrogate is something I've thought about," Rimes detailed. "Eddie and I have also talked about adopting. My capacity to love a child doesn't stop at my own eggs, obviously!"

Falling Hard

Regrets, she has a few. But falling for Cibrian (joining her for a November 2013 sky diving adventure) isn't one of them. 

"What happened is not who I am, period," she stressed in a 2010 interview with Robin Roberts. "I do know how much I love him. So, I've always said I don't live my life with regret. I can't."

The way she sees it, Rimes continued, "You had two couples whose marriages didn't work who really stumbled upon each other and fell in love."

Getting in on the Action

Three years after Rimes (flaunting some PDA at a January 2014 event) insisted she and Cibrian would never do a reality TV show, the duo launched their VH1 series LeAnn & Eddie. 

"People are always wanting to make it a story of me being a homewrecker and trying to take someone's kids," she explained to People. "They take the love I have for my family and twist it around in some weird, sick way."

Santa, Baby

Yes, there were ongoing tensions between the duo and his ex Glanville, but Rimes remains proud of how they worked through it.

"We have gone through hell and back to be together and blend a family," she told OK! in 2014. "Those sort of things are not easy. It takes a commitment. We've gone to therapy to learn how to communicate better because we don't want to screw with the kids. It has made us better and our marriage stronger."

All She Wants for Christmas

"Yesterday was wonderful," Rimes wrote in a Dec. 26, 2014 Instagram snap, adding how much she loved "our family." 

Secrets to Their Success

Strong Teammates

Family First

Glanville credits her sons for helping pave the way for a strong co-parenting relationship with Cibrian and Rimes (in July 2019). 

"I think we both grew up a lot because obviously, it was a decade of fighting," she explained on the Hollywood Raw podcast in 2021. "I think our kids had a lot to do with it because the kids love when we're all together, and it's so obvious. They're so happy. They're giddy little creatures."

Date Night

Crystal Anniversary

Celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary with an April 2026 trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Rimes reflected on all that they'd learned. 

"We love being around each other," she shared with E! News. "We laugh a lot. And he's just a good guy. He really is. So, 15 years is wild to think about that it's been that long. But so far, so good."
