Last month, Eddie Cibrian formally filed for divorce from his wife, Brandi Glanville, after months of speculation and a very public affair with LeAnn Rimes. Last week, Brandi Glanville joined the divorce petition, citing “irreconcilable differences”. Brandi is also seeking spousal support and physical custody of their two sons, while allowing Eddie visitation rights. After spending a significant amount of time calling Eddie and LeAnn “liars” and “homewreckers”, Brandi seems in a much better place. A source close to her told People that Brandi and Eddie hope to “divorce amicably”.
Although his relationship with LeAnn Rimes played out under a media glare, Eddie Cibrian’s divorce from his wife Brandi Glanville promises to be less explosive. “Both sides are hoping to settle their divorce amicably,” a Glanville source tells PEOPLE.
Los Angeles Superior Court records show that Glanville, citing irreconcilable differences, is seeking spousal support from the CSI: Miami star as well as physical custody of their sons Mason, 6, and Jake, 2, with visitation for Cibrian. The actor filed for divorce last month and is also seeking shared custody.
Earlier this month, Rimes announced on her Web site that she and husband Dean Sheremet were divorcing following months of rumors of her affair with Cibrian.
Cibrian, 36, and Rimes, 27, met while filming the Lifetime movie Northern Lights last fall.

There’s further evidence that Brandi and Eddie are steadily maturing too. Over the weekend, they both attended (separately) their son Mason’s soccer game, and they were even photographed standing near each other and hanging out (photos here). Us Weekly notes that Eddie brought the folding chairs and umbrella, while Brandi brought her parents. No word on whether Eddie’s mom really is pissed at him for dumping Brandi, but it’s always nice to see a divorcing couple bury the hatchet for the sake of their children. Perhaps I’m just a dirty gossip (true story) but I think Brandi’s about-face on the whole “I hate Eddie, he’s a douche” thing is very interesting. My theory is that Brandi is looking for a way to drive a wedge between Eddie and LeAnn, and she figures that it will piss LeAnn off if Eddie is now getting along with his ex-wife. Brandi’s probably right.

At least LeAnn didn’t have kids. Run, LeAnn, run. He’s trouble with a capital T.
“and she figures that it will piss LeAnn off if Eddie is now getting along with his ex-wife. Brandi’s probably right.”
absolutely correct. the simple fact that Cibrian will have to “deal with” Glanville regarding the kids lives is probably getting to LeMANN. And if they do it amicably, there will always be that (however small) chance that they’ll reconcile, at least in LeMANN’s eyes.
now, where is LeMANN’s publicist? I’m sure she’ll be on here shortly…
gawd I can’t help it.. those dimples make me swooooooooon!
Who’s the CSI:Miami star? Eddie? Cause i had to look him up on IMDB and he was on one episode, hardly a “star”.
Ellen Ellen Ellen….the difference between Eddie and Dean is Eddie is a known cheat and a liar you know it and so does the rest of the world. Oh it will bother Leann alright if Eddie and Brandi remain “friends”. The manic photo ops
prove it. Did she lay low after the soccer game nope she sure didn’t.
Deb – don’t forget that LeAnn is a “known” cheater too.
Does this EC ex appear to be clingy? Why would she even consider taking him back? Get a life, lady, like the rest of us that this has happened to. PLEASE! Stop with the crawling around his neck and get your own life. Many of us have been through this same thing and we are still kicking. JOIN THE CLUB, already.
Kaiser is 100% correct. If Brandi is a total bitch to him, it just pushes him closer to Leann. He’ll tire of her and start looking at his hot ex-wife and there will be regrettin’ goin’ on! And hopefully Brandi will bone him just for the sake of playing around and give him and Leann a taste of their own medicine. Then once that relationship dies she can reinstate a “just friends” policy. Come on Brandi! Make our day!
Interesting theory, Kaiser. I agree. There is no better way to get under the skin of the new girlfriend (and to look good) than for a divorcing woman to act sane, nice and agreeable. That will drive LeAnn crazy and it will perhaps give Eddie second thoughts about the divorce.
On the other hand, there is no better way for a soon-to-be-ex-wife to look worse than to act crazy, bitter and mean. And it reinforces the husband’s decision to get a divorce – I have heard several men say “see, this is exactly why I am divorcing her” when confronted with bitterness and spite during a divorce.
I think Brandi has an excellant legal team guiding her through this difficult journey. The papers filed on her behalf asking foe sole custody and only visitation for EC point to this. I find it interesting that EC buys all that stuff for his ex-wife and in-laws at the soccer game. This must have made Stalker girl a little angry and betcha she pulled leash tighter when he got home. Also find the recent stories about them renting a house in B.Hills ridiculous, she was photographed Sunday at her Brentwood home. LR’s people are working OT spewing the fairy tale love stories for certain mags. Usually Celebitchy and US don’t do the gloat pieces. At some point LR will be exposed for how she orchestrated this whole sorrid affair…and the smirk and the jerk will be history.
Shame Eddie Cibrian is such a douche, cause I couldn’t help but drool over him on CSI last night. I felt dirty afterward though 🙁
I hope Brandi hits this one out of the park… she deserves to have her own show after the crap Leann and Eddie dished out.
Those of you hoping she would fade into obscurity….SURPRISE LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!! She will now in one form or another be in Leann’s face more often than not. I guarantee you she will be in demand, there is a curiosity about her and for the most part in a positive light.
Leann MEH not so much.
Eddie looks like a douche if he only gets visitation. Remember he’s a “loving and devoted” father
Ok “Ellen the Leann obsessed poster” is baaaaaaaack. My God woman, put the keyboard dowwwwwwn.
Jessica Biel is now single Eddie.
Ellen why do I get the feeling you would love it if it wasn’t a go. Anything to steal Leann’s “limelight” won’t do now will it. I knew Brandi had connections I for one am behind her 100%. I am not however one bit supportive of Leann and there are plenty of us out there who feel the same way. She’s cooked her goose pretty well in this one.
Well then Ellen, Leann and Eddie are in for a boat load of bad Karma. People aren’t soon to forget the cruel way these 2 played this out.
As for Leann being a mom, good luck with that. Sure won’t keep Eddie home. Its only a matter of time before he cheats.
I think Brandi will be just fine she did shed 190lbs of idiot.
As usual great observations Deb. Support Brandi and hope she finds inner peace and strength as she raises her son’s. As far as LR and EC, whether they marry as rumored in Oct/Nov or not, there will be no fairy tail ending. He will stay as long as it is financially and/ or sexually beneficial and move on. It is obvious children will not make him fully committ. Yeah one day, hopefully sooner than later, Smirk girl will be getting a taste of her own medicine. Karma, Karma…..
disagree. i think that Leann opened her pocketbook and paid Brandi to STFU. money talks. or buys silence. yowz~!
When dealing with two selfish, stupid self-centered arseholes like Leanne and Eddie, soeone usually ends up having to suck it up and be the better person. So Ellen, you moron, let’s just be clear that the SPOUSES of these two WORTHLESS LYING CHEATERS are the better people, and these two aren’t worth pond scum.
IF and thats a big IF Leann paid Brandi off, then Brandi must have a whole lot of stuff she needed to STFU about.
Methinks Brandi has a whole lot of dirt to dish about. Can’t wait for her new show. Love that crazy gal Jennifer from VH1 Sober house.
I’m cynical. Unless your name is Demi Moore or Bruce Willis, then there just is no such thing as an amicable divorce in Hollywood.
I agree WOW. Personally I think Brandi has Eddie by the short hairs. I mean look @ all the stupid things he has said and done publicly.
Also, the whole soccer game pics are strange. He goes and buys all this stuff for the comfort of his soon to be ex-wife and in-laws? He didn’t show that much consideration for any of their feelings while he was sleeping with 3 women at the same time. We know LR will do what ever she has to in order to get that wedding ring on her finger. Maybe EC is getting cold feet and that noose is getting way to tight. This is starting to get interesting. TEAM Brandi!
Wait, what? A show? For real? WHY?
What was the pitch line? “The premise is that it’s about a single mom. With only two kids, and a very wealthy ex. So it’s not like “We Hate Kate” because there’s not that many kids. And it’s not like, say, Denise Richards. Because she’s a somebody. Maybe a D-lister, but a name that people know.”
WTF is the point?
Those were Eddies parents not mine. Although I do love them like my own. I don’t want Eddie back in any way shape or form. Yes he is pretty on the outside but toxic on the inside. I hope this divorce makes him a better father and that is all. thanks bc
ohhh, you mean like saying Eddie is an adulterous douche banging a married woman! Because that is the truth, you know. The truth is a perfect defense.
Moron
I, too, am a victim of Eddie’s dimples. As reprehensible as his behavior is, damn, those dimples.
They were eddie parents at the soccer game I promise. This show was in the works well before the end of marriage or Eddie would have put out a statement otherwise.. The kids are not in the show. Originally they were going to be along side with Eddie’s parents but with everything going on they were all taken off the table by mom (me) The person who files for divorce first pays all the filing fees and Eddie cut off all of the credit lines so he was in control of everything.
Brandi, stay strong and all good blessings for a happy and healthy future. Take the high road, and you will always look down at the The Jerk and The Smirk.
