LeAnn Rimes' 15th Wedding Anniversary Marked by Emotional Struggles LeAnn Rimes opened up about her 15th wedding anniversary with husband Eddie Cibrian on April 23, 2026, describing the milestone as a time filled with "tears and worry" amid personal challenges. The country music icon, who has been married to the "Sunset Beach" actor since 2011, shared a candid Instagram post reflecting on the couple’s journey. She acknowledged the emotional weight of the occasion, while also expressing gratitude for their enduring bond. "Day by day, we walk hand in hand through the rollercoaster of life… and God, I'm so grateful that it's with each other," she wrote. Rimes and Cibrian’s relationship began in 2009 on the set of the Lifetime movie Northern Lights, where the pair developed feelings for each other despite both being married to others. At the time, Rimes was still wed to chef Dean Sheremet, her first husband, whom she married in 2002 and divorced in 2010. Cibrian, meanwhile, was married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville from 2001 to 2010. Their romance sparked widespread media attention and public scrutiny, with tabloids and online critics amplifying the drama of their situation. Rimes later described the scandal as "all of the craziness we went through," highlighting the emotional toll it took on her and Cibrian. In a July 2025 interview with Flow Space, Rimes reflected on the media’s role in shaping the narrative around their relationship. She admitted to feeling targeted by public criticism, stating, "I was a target that was just easily projected upon." She acknowledged her responsibility for the situation but emphasized that "the world's pain is not mine to carry," a sentiment she said was unfairly imposed on her for years.#leann_rimes #brandi_glanville #eddie_cibrian #sunset_beach #dean_sheremet
