LeAnn Rimes is looking back at “all of the craziness” she went through when her affair with husband Eddie Cibrian became public.

The “How Do I Live” singer, 42, met Cibrian, 52, on the set of the 2009 Lifetime movie Northern Lights while they were both married to different partners. Rimes was married to professional dancer Dean Sheremet at the time, while Cibrian was married to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville.

“I realized very quickly that there are a lot of women who’ve been hurt,” Rimes shared with Flow Space in a recent interview, reflecting on the strong feelings people had about the affair.

She continued, “Like, I’ve been on both sides of that coin — I’ve been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling. But so many women don’t know what to do with that anger … I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier.”

Rimes said that “instead of taking it personally,” she realized, “This is not all my pain to carry. I know what I’m responsible for in the situation and making amends for that. But you know, the world’s pain is not mine to carry, and I think that really got thrown at me for a long time.”

Rimes and Cibrian married in 2011 in a ceremony attended by Cibrian and Glanville’s two sons, Mason, now 22, and Jake, 18. The couple have been going strong ever since.

Asked about the secret to their successful marriage, Cibrian joked with Flow Space, “Because we are in bed by 7:30!”

Over the years, Rimes, Cibrian and Glanville, 52, have reconciled and regularly put on a united front when it comes to the former couple’s sons.

“I think we both grown up quite a bit, and we both love Eddie’s parents,” Glanville said of her relationship with Rimes during a 2018 episode of the “Hollywood Raw” podcast. “We both love the kids, and 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. We’re like sister wives. It’s me and LeAnn and Eddie,” she added.

“I don’t know how we did it, all three of us, LeAnn, Eddie and myself,” Glanville later told Entertainment Tonight in 2019. “We, that’s a big thing for me to say, we. We have amazing children. … We’ll have a fight one week, and then we won’t. But that comes with parenting
