LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian News: Country Star Announces Her Upcoming Christmas Tour

Rimes and Cibrian will be documenting their behind-the-scenes life in their new VH1 reality show, LeAnn & Eddie later this week, where the couple will most likely discuss their feud with Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville and Rimes' infertility issues.

Cibrian told reporters during the 2014 Summer TCA Press Tour, "We wanted to do a show and I think that this format and this genre, unscripted, gave us an opportunity to do something fun and work together."

He added, "What's really real about the show is our relationship juxtaposed by everything the public reads and is fed by the tabloids... ultimately, this is a comedy and that's how we go about our life as well, is we laugh and it really helps."

Cibrian insists though that he and Rimes are not using the show as a platform to bash anyone from their past and that they've also discusses the show with his two children from his marriage with Glanville, Mason and Jake.

"This show is not an opportunity to fire back at anybody," Cibrian explained.

Rimes chimed in, "If anything it's very much a satire and you'll see that. We do talk about the kids in the show. We do discuss Eddie's ex-wife when it needed to be discussed... you can't really do a show without talking about that."

LeAnn & Eddie debuts at 10 p.m. EST/PST on July 17th on VH1.
