No one was more blindsided by LeAnn Rimes' affair than her own husband.

In a new interview, Dean Sheremet revealed that Rimes called him on the phone to admit she was cheating on him with her married Northern Lights costar, Eddie Cibrian.

"I never saw it coming," the dancer-turned-chef, who divorced the country singer in 2009, told Access Hollywood on Thursday. "You have that assumption that the person that you're with would never do something like that," he said.

Sheremet, 32, revealed that Rimes called to tell him a magazine "may or may not have a picture of me and Eddie kissing."

He was shocked and asked, "What do you mean, 'May or may not have a picture?' What does that mean?" he said. "It unfolded from there."

Sheremet moved on and married photographer Sarah Silver, 37, in August 2011, four months after Rimes and Cibrian tied the knot.

He revealed that he hasn't kept in touch with his ex.

"We don't really talk that much," he said. "There's not really a need to. I don't really know what we would talk about."
