Brandi Glanville Recalled the Day She Found Out About the Affair
Glanville shared what it was like to learn Cibrian had been cheating on her.
Brandi Glanville, who was married to Eddie Cibrian from 2001 to 2009, wrote an op-ed for The Sun in which she talked about the warning signs that he was cheating on her with LeAnn Rimes. Cibrian also had an affair with Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Shay.
Referencing photos of Cibrian and Rimes taken while they were filming Northern Lights in 2009, Glanville, 51, wrote: "There was video footage of them kissing over the table. It was devastating. I went straight home, passed out in my closet, cried and cried.
"He tried to convince me it wasn't real but I knew it was over. They were sucking on each other's fingers in the footage yet he was telling me nothing was happening."
She continued: "It was insane. I asked him if he loved LeAnn. He said he didn't — he wanted to be with me for ever and for us to go for counseling."
Eddie Cibrian Continued Cheating on Her
Glanville filed for divorce in 2010.
Following the news about the affair, Glanville and Cibrian went through counseling for months. However, it did not stop her estranged husband from seeing Rimes.
She continued: "One time, I even recorded him saying how he loved me and that he didn't love LeAnn — and I sent it to her. I wanted her to know what he was saying."
The move, however, reportedly failed to prevent the infidelity from occurring.
Years after they split, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared how their fallout affected her.
Glanville confessed: "Eddie and I still squabble, but it's like the three of us are doing the parenting — it's nice to have a third person and she's usually on my side. But I will always have trust issues because of what happened."
Brandi Glanville Supported Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes
Glanville said 'Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other' before filing for divorce.
Before she filed for divorce in 2010, Glanville opened up about her status with her then-husband in her 2009 statement to Us Weekly.
She said: "Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart. I want to do what is best for our children [Mason and Jake]. Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other."
Brandi Glanville Predicted Eddie Cibrian's Divorce From LeAnn Rimes
She also predicted her ex and Rimes would divorce after a few years.
In 2017, Glanville renewed their feud when she said Cibrian and Rimes would divorce after a few years following their issues.
She told the Daily Pop: "I think when the 10-year mark [of their marriage] comes and he leaves her and takes half her stuff, we'll all be good together because they won't even be related.
"If she doesn't have a kid with him, then we don't ever have to see her again."
The Trio Finally Reached Good Terms
Glanville confirmed she and Cibrian made peace amid her feud with Rimes.

Despite their failed marriage, Glanville shared her close connection to Cibrian and his current wife during her appearance in an episode of the Hollywood Raw podcast.
She disclosed: "Eddie's going to be in my life for the rest of my life. We bicker still like we're married when we're not... It's me and LeAnn and Eddie."
Eddie Cibrian Changed After the Divorce
Glanville said Cibrian had become a 'better father through divorce.'
In a September 2013 episode of Bethenny, Glanville told Bethenny Frankel how Cibrian had changed positively since their split.
She said at the time: "You know, I think he's actually become a much better father through divorce. Because when we were together, he wasn't home a lot, he didn't spend a ton of time with the kids, and now he's really present.
"That's the one positive I take away from it because the rest freaking sucks."
