LeAnn Rimes Eddie Cibrian Affair, Singer Asks For God's Forgivness on Daily Basis [VIDEO]
LeAnn Rimes revealed in a Wednesday interview with Entertainment Tonight that she asks God to forgive her affair with Eddie Cibrian, who is now her husband.
Rimes appeared on the show to promote her new album Spitfire, and the conversation turned to her personal life. In 2009, Rimes went from a country sweetheart to "the other woman" when she had an affair with Cibrian after the two filmed a Lifetime movie. Rimes at the time was married to dancer Dean Sheremet for already eight years and Cibrian was wed to reality star Brandi Glanville, with whom he has two sons. Rimes and Cibrian wed in 2011.
Rimes told ET that she asked for forgiveness on a daily basis because of her actions.
"We are human beings who are going to sin and make mistakes and if you have that connection, for me, is something that I feel is bigger than me, it's not something that's unusual to do," she said.
The 30-year old said she was opening up like never before because there were too many lies being spread about her. She wanted to set the record straight through her music and in doing so, she bares her soul in her new album. Rimes said that her detractors would have to twist the truth now.
"I feel like so many people have written the story that they think will sell a magazine, or the story that they want to believe, but it's so 180 of what has been written," she said.
The country star also shared that the song Borrowed goes in depth about the pain she felt during the time of her affair, which ended two marriages. The How Do I Live singer does not spare her now husband either in her lyrics. The album, which is due June 4, has a song entitled You've Ruined Me, about how Rimes will never ever again feel for a man the way she does for her husband.
"It was written for [Eddie], and I actually called him after and said, 'Hey, I wrote this song about you and his first words were, 'Oh no,'" laughed Rimes. "I was like, 'Don't worry, it's all good."
The second part of Rimes' interview with ET will air Thursday.
