The heart never forgets.
Despite a quick vacation to celebrate her 15th wedding anniversary with Eddie Cibrian, LeAnn Rimes alluded to personal issues weighing heavy on their minds.
âWe got to step away for 3 days amidst work and some very tense, heart wrenching things happening at home with family,â the Grammy winner wrote via Instagram on Thursday alongside footage from their Cabo getaway. âItâs been a different anniversary, one filled with tears and worry, but in between, there were moments of laughter and deep gratitude for this love of ours.â
Rimes didnât specify on her and Cibrianâs at-home struggles â but did reflect on walking âhand in hand through the rollercoaster of lifeâ with Cibrian.
âiâm so grateful that itâs with each other. weâve been through so much in our 15 years as husband and wife,â she continued. âWe know how to ride the waves đ, hold each other in times of need, mend what needs mending. iâm so proud of what we have created together. 15 years is just the beginning.â
Cibrian, meanwhile, shared a montage of their life together on his page, captioning the sweet video: âStill burning after 15 years đ„.â
Despite now being together for over a decade, the road to marriage was a rocky one for the couple.
Rimes and Cibrian had an affair in 2008 while they were filming the Lifetime movie âNorthern Lights.â
At the time, the artist had been married to chef Dean Sheremet for six years, while the âCSI: Miamiâ star was married to âReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsâ alum Brandi Glanville.
Rumors of an affair began to swirl in 2009 with the âThird Watchâ actor initially denying the allegations.
âIt is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship,â Cibrian told âAccess Hollywoodâ in a statement at the time.
But by July 2009, news of Rimes and Cibrianâs respective separations broke just days apart.
The âTake Twoâ starâs manager released a statement at the time, expressing, âEddie is a devoted and loving father first and foremost, and the speed bump he and Brandi are experiencing needs to be worked out privately for everyoneâs benefit.â
In August of that year, Cibrian and Rimes stepped out as a couple for the first time â with the actor going forward with filing for divorce from Glanville.
Cibrian and Glanville were married from 2001 to 2010 and share sons Mason, 22, and Jake, 19.
Rimes officially divorced Sheremet in December 2009.
The âNorthern Lightsâ co-stars were engaged a year later before tying the knot in 2011.Â
Despite Glanville admitting that she once threatened to âmurderâ Rimes when she found out about her relationship with her then-husband, the women have since found common ground.
In July, Rimes reflected on âall of the crazinessâ she and Cibrian went through when the news of their affair became public.
The âI Need Youâ crooner noted she felt like a âtargetâ but ârealized very quickly that there are a lot of women whoâve been hurt.â
Rimes told Flow Space, âIâve been on both sides of that coin â Iâve been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling. But so many women donât know what to do with that anger. ⊠I was a target that was just easily projected upon.â
âThis is not all my pain to carry. I know what Iâm responsible for in the situation and making amends for that,â she added.
