LeAnn Rimes Details “Craziness” of Affair With Eddie Cibrian

How does LeAnn Rimes live without the public’s ire? 

As it turns out, it took some time for the singer to get to a point where she unburdened herself of criticism surrounding her and husband Eddie Cibrian’s relationship, which began around 2008 amid their respective marriages to Dean Sheremet and Brandi Glanville.

“So many women don’t know what to do with that anger,” LeAnn told Flow Space in an interview published July 7. “I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier.”

While the 42-year-old noted that she empathized with being cheated on and understands the “women who’ve been hurt,” she recognized she could relieve herself of their ache.

“Instead of taking it so personally, it’s like, look: This is not all my pain to carry,” she continued. “I know what I’m responsible for in the situation and making amends for that. But the world’s pain is not mine to carry, and I think that really got thrown at me for a long time.” 

Having risen to fame at age 13, LeAnn’s decades-long experience living under the spotlighth helped her learn to not live in fear.

"If I want to live a fulfilling life, I’ve got to learn how to let that guard down,” she explained. “To me, it was either I was going to die, or I had to confront it."

She added, “I felt very alone in this world for a long time. I don’t necessarily feel that way anymore. I don’t feel like I’m ever in hiding.”

In fact, LeAnn is doing much more than not concealing herself.

"I think I’ve gone from survival to thriving to—if there is a level up from thriving—to truly living,” she shared. “I think that’s where I’m headed."
