LeAnn Rimes says her decision to have an affair with Eddie Cibrian is complicated - and that people shouldn't rush to judgment.
"What happened is not who I am, period," she says on In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: All Access Nashville, airing Wednesday at 10 p.m. (EST) on ABC. "But I do know how much I love him. So I've always said I don't live my life with regret. I can't."
Us Weekly first broke the news that she and Cibrian, 37, had an off-camera fling last year while shooting the Lifetime flick, Northern Lights. At the time, Rimes, now 28, was wed to dancer Deane Sheremet; Cibrian was raising two children with his wife, model Brandi Glanville.
"It happens every day to so many people," Rimes says of the affair. "And if I take away my album sales, my words ... you have just another couple. You had two couples whose marriages didn't work who really stumbled upon each other and fell in love. I can't change [critics'] minds. Nothing I'm going to say is going to change it. I do know that and I have accepted that."
Cibrian also chimes in, opening up for the first time about falling for Rimes.
"The truth is that we're human beings," he says. "We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we're human. We fell in love.
"We're talking about something that's over a year, year and-a-half old, really, and we're still together, and we're madly in love," he goes on. "And I think people are finally seeing that, but it doesn't mean that people will accept it or the tabloids will stop trying to print lies and try to tear us apart or tear us down."
Adds Rimes, "We're really happy in what we feel privately. We hope [that] one day, I think people will feel publicly."
Contrary to Internet reports, Rimes doesn't break down in tears talking about the affair. She cries when asked about her book, What I Cannot Change, in which she writes that there was once a time when, if she wasn't doing a show, she didn't know what do with herself.
"That was my life!" she says, crying.
"I'm learning who I am without it and that's the coolest thing about my life right now, that I have all of these incredible things happening, and I have family and -- and I'm learning who I am without it."
These days, Rimes says music isn't the burden that it used to be.
"There's been a lot thrust on my shoulders at a very young age," she says. "I -- thank God. I don't know how I could have handled it, but I have and I'm still here. And that's -- that's saying a lot, you know?"

Karma is a bitch! Did she once think about his kids? Just because a marriage is in "trouble" does not mean for you to run in p***y in hand!!! I so disgusted with celebrities trying to romanticize the fact that they are homewrecking whores. Its not your place to interfere in someone elses marriage LeAnn!
Guess what? The COMMITTED party was a willing participant. I get sick of women being blamed for men leaving their women. HE was the one who was supposed to be loyal to the wife. The majority of the responsibility lay on HIM. Yes, LeAnn played a part in it but no one can force a grown man to do anything he doesn't want to do.
^^^So true. They are both to blame.
two people who have an affair do not need any judgment from us. listen. learn. reflect. Are you taking care of home as you should? Are you in a relationship Are you scared to committ from fear of backlash? JUDGE NOT. AS YE WILL BE JUDGED FIRST.
* con't form previous post*
are you in a relationship that is volatile?
Thank you 0843 (((AMEN))). You know most people know when their marriage or relationships are going down hill, it's just that most people play ignorant to the facts and or "tale-tail signs"--ThatBKChick
i am so tired of people taking scripture out of context. do you even know where "judge not LEST ye be judged" comes from? what Jesus was saying is that the same standard that you judge someone else by will also be used to judge you. i'm not a married woman sleeping with a married man that is not my husband, therefore, i can denounce what leann rimes has done. both of them are dead wrong. and i would not be surprised if one of them steps out on the other.
and i'm through.
I don't wanna be an asshole and not finish reading her bs but I stopped at 'You had two couples whose marriages didn't work' .... Remember that when he's walking away with the next great love of his life. No really, don't yell, feel hurt, or even write a song about it. Make him a sack lunch for the road and put it in a picnic basket.

She said "It happens everyday to so many people".
We have some weak minded people out here why are we such followers? That is never a good reason to do anything. Everyone should have boundaries and not everything or everybody in this world is meant for you to have just because you want it. She has no consideration for the women and the family that she hurt but now wants so much consideration for herself. It does happen everyday only because people allow it and have no decency other then there own self wants, but to each it own because nothing just happens and there is always a follow up scenario to every situation depending on what you choose. People love to talk about Jesus and the bible about not judging but God himself said that adultery is wrong is his eyes and he himself is casting the judgment to us on what not to do.

Just another callous whore making money off of other people's misery.
What are they going to tell the kids when they get older? They are the true victims.
How you got them is how you will lose them. A relationship built on deceit never last. It will be filled with drama and insecurities.
She said neither marriage was working...so, why did they stay? Were they just waiting until something better came along? I'm really not understanding this at all...
Ho please..... you always tounging the man in front of his kids - you're a whore and I can't wait till he dumps you to screw your sister....
JUDGE NOT. AS YE WILL BE JUDGED FIRST
You just ad libbed the hell out of that. And it's mostly a bullshit saying anyway as humans make judgments about EVERYTHING EVERY MOMENT of their lives. It's practically the equivalent of saying: THINK NOT.
ALL she's doing is trying to justify why she had an affair and make excuses for it. That's all I see. From what I read her husband was devastated and didn't want a divorce, but she wanted another man's dick and that was that. The choices u make dictate the life u lead. When dude leaves her for another woman and he will, she need not say 1 damn thing, cos in her words 'it happens every day'...ummm okay.
Figured she was trying to sell something. These celebrities sell their souls to sell books, albums!

So true it funny how we twists things. I do think that one can be too over critical at times but if we didn't judge where would we people as people, and individuals having the ability to make critical thought?
Here is a bible verse on the flip of do not judge and God has giving so many more commandments then just that one but that one verse is all that most people seems to see: Man will grow to be cold only being lovers of themselves and we have arrive at this moment and in this time set.
i love you 11:55pm. i get so tired of people taking that section out of context as well. people are quick to quote that (improperly) but they forget that God also gave us the power of discernment... to JUDGE what is right and what is wrong.
