At the height of their relationship spectacle, LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, who officially met while working on “Northern Lights,” took up stock in nearly every entertainment publication. Between outlets keeping track of every messy tweet between the estranged exes, and speculating that Rimes could be pregnant (spoiler: she wasn’t), the couple couldn’t breathe without their every move being turned into headlines. However, by the time “LeAnn & Eddie” premiered in July 2014, it seems that audiences had lost interest — possibly due to how the couple decided to approach sharing their love story.
Despite their decisions leading to two families being torn apart, Rimes and Cibrian made light of their divorces. “We were both married to other people when we fell in love,” Cibrian shared during an episode. “And I know most of you think my wife is a homewrecker and a stalker,” he continued, referencing Rimes’ stalking accusations, per The Washington Post. Rimes then sarcastically interjected: “You’re forgetting alcoholic, pill popper and children stealer!” As for Cibrian, Rimes asserted, “And you’re also a moocher, you have no job, and you married me for my money.”

The couple also used the show to hit back at outspoken Brandi Glanville, who had by then joined “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and released her tell-all memoir about the dissolution of her marriage, despite Cibrian’s previous assertion to Extra that their show was “completely different in tone” to “RHOBH.”
