LeAnn Rimes Talks About Affair With Eddie Cibrian

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 15th 2010 08:05PM

LeAnn Rimes knows she didn't handle the end of her marriage to Dean Sheremet very well--and she reveals why in the October issue of Shape magazine. Rimes, who graces the Shape cover in a red string bikini, opens up about the end of her marriage and what she's learned.

"I understand why people are disappointed in me, especially since I grew up as America's sweetheart. I think any relationship is hard to get out of, and I don't think the way I did it was right," she reveals.

"It wasn't a fulfilling marriage for either of us," she tells the magazine. "As we got older, we grew apart."

Rimes and Sheremet's marriage began to fully unravel amidst rumors she was secretly dating actor Eddie Cibrian, who was also married.

Back in 2009, Cibrian tried to fight back against claims that he was having an affair with Rimes after they were caught on film from the restaurant's security cameras. The images show the pair kissing during a date at a Laguna Beach, California restaurant.

Later Rimes admitted she and Cibrian became friends while shooting the made-for-TV movie 'Northern Lights,' and it wasn't until many months later that their relationship "tipped over."

"It was very emotionally driven," Rimes told PEOPLE in June. "I never once thought what I was doing was okay."

Sheremet and Rimes attempted to fix their marriage after news of her affair broke, but the pair finally concluded, "It wasn't a marriage that fulfilled either one of us." Rimes and Sheremet ended their 7-year marriage and the divorce was finalized in December 2009.

Cibrian was also married at the time; he and model Brandi Glanville married in 2002 and have two sons together. They too filed for divorce last year.

"I take responsibility for everything I've done," LeAnn told PEOPLE. "I hate that people got hurt. But I don't regret the outcome.

Rimes and Cibrian are currently in a committed relationship and currently live together in Los Angeles.

"I feel like I'm just now finding myself," Rimes continued. "I've always been one of those people who takes care of everyone else--and their needs--first. This past year, for the first time ever, I put me first. I'm sure some people are thinking that I was totally selfish, but the truth is, there are times in your life when you have to be selfish in order to find out what truly makes you happy."

Though the infidelity drama is in her past, she realizes "there are lessons in it for me to learn" and that the "most important thing" is "cultivating strength from rough situations." As she tells Shape, "After going through this, I know I can face anything."

So, when a man cheats, he's a worthless pig who thinks with his johnson...but when a woman does it, it's because she's "confused" or because daddy molested her or some other lame excuse. She is trash, nothing more.

No one is right when they cheat however it does happen and sometimes it is for the best. Not everyone marries a gay man.

.......couples get married today in shorter time than most men and women buy a new pair of shoes. There needs to be a way to sort out feelings and attitudes before you get married.

By cuoguomjd

oh great article ,What is this chick thinking??? She already went through her selfish phase when she cheated. How do you get any more selfish than that? And it will catch up with you, whatever the reasons...And no excuse is a good excuse!My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c' oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it

I agree. Why is it that women can justify it?
As for these two, who were both married, it's adultry, plain and simple. If your not happy in your relationship or marriage, then get the heck out, then go screw around.
It is very hurtfull to the partners of these two to do what they did.
And your right, but they are both trash.

By J.B.

I couldn't agree with you more. She and Cibian are both just adulterous trash who care about no one but themselves. I'll never purchase or listen to her music again. She is a homewrecker.

If they cheat with you, they'll cheat on you. Once a cheat always a cheat.

I could not possibly agree with you more, tesoro! How dam hypocritical after she sings "Maybe he'll think before he cheats" ohhh this is going to get me steamed, burning hot and mad... oh. This kind of stuff is EXACTLY WHY I avoid pursuing "girls" my own age (I'm 28) for relationships and prefer women not quite but arguably almost old enough to have been my parent. Rhymes makes me so mad and isn't acting like someone as old as she's gotta be. :C

I love The I-nterracial R-o-m-ance! It is so nice. My boyfriend and i both think so. He is a s-e-x-y black man,lol. I know him via *** (Black w hite Cupid)* .*{C00M} *** a nice place for black white singles, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love. . …@love it

★★★★★★ ;)

It is impossible to fall out of love. Love is such a powerful emotion, that once it envelops you it does not depart. True love is eternal. If you think that you were once in love, but fell out of it, then it wasn't love you were in. There are no 'exit' signs in love, there is only an 'on' ramp.

Lots of my friends found their lovers through the service. You may have a try... ;)
