LeAnn Rimes is a newcomer coach on The Voice, but she’s a veteran in the music industry. Her career began at the tender age of 13, with the Grammy-winning cover of country classic Blue.
And it didn’t stop there. LeAnn went on to dominate the charts with How Do I Live in the ‘90s and Can’t Fight the Moonlight in 2000, which was used in the box-office smash Coyote Ugly.
Since, the country-turned-pop-turned-contemporary-Christian singer has released 18 albums, with her latest God’s Work out in 2023.
Throughout the last dozen or so years of her career, her husband Eddie Cibrian has been by her side. The two met on the set of the Lifetime television movie Northern Lights in 2008, and immediately hit it off – much to the dismay of their then-partners.
LeAnn and Eddie were both married at the time to other people. Just a year later in 2009, with affair rumours rife, the singer and CSI: Miami actor broke off their marriages and began dating.
And despite the rocky start to their relationship, the two have found a forever kind of love with each other. They got engaged on Christmas Eve in 2010 and went on to tie the knot in April 2011.
While they don’t have any children together, LeAnn is now a stepmother to Eddie’s two sons Mason and Jake. And together, it seems they have a family plucked straight from a Hallmark movie.
In an interview on The Ellen Degeneres Show, LeAnn opened up to the comedian host about her marriage, saying: “[…] We’re happy, and we’re married. I think we have both come to a really good place in our lives. And right now, I’m really at peace.”
Here, we look at the sweetest moments from LeAnn and Eddie’s love story in photos.
