LeAnn Rimes was 'almost intimidated' by the good looks of her husband

LeAnn Rimes found Eddie Cibrian's good looks "almost intimidating" when they fist met. The 40-year-old pop star met her now-husband in 2009 when they worked on movie ‘Northern Lights’ together and she recalled how many of her pals were envious when they found out they would be working together.

She said: “I remember when I found out I was doing this film with Eddie, all of my gay friends were like, ‘Oh my God, he’s so hot. ’ He’s pretty reserved until you get to know him, but he is so ridiculously good-looking it’s almost intimidating. ” However, the 'Can't Fight the Moonlight' hitmaker went on to explain that she and Eddie have given each other the "space to grow" since they tied the knot in 2011 and she has learned that you can "move apart" and "move together" in a marriage.

She said: “I was very co-dependent throughout my life until my early 30s but the more I started loving myself and stopped looking outside for validation, the more solid our relationship became because we were both given space to grow equally. : “[I’ve learnt] that you move apart, you move together, and that expansion and contradiction is just a moment in time.

It’s about learning to dance with the relationship dynamics. I’ve also learned to not always blame the other person and instead ask, ‘OK, what is it that I need to look at in myself?’ “ LeAnn added that her stepsons Mason, 19, and 15-year-old Jake – whose mother is former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Brandi Glanville – have grown up in a “safe” place because she herself had such an “abnormal” childhood.
