The relationship between Brandi Glanville and Eddie Cibrian was a large topic of conversation while she was a cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Brandi and Eddie were never a couple during her time on the show, as they were already divorced by the time she joined the series. At the time, the former couple was not speaking very often, as Eddie was planning to marry his latest mistress, singer/songwriter LeAnn Rimes.
Viewers of the Bravo reality series witnessed the pain Brandi was going through following the aftermath of Eddie and LeAnn's affair. The reality star was lost after the love of her life and the father of her two sons left them to start a new life with a new woman. Since then, the couple seems to have made amends and are on speaking terms. Brandi has even spent the holidays with Eddie, LeeAnn, and their two sons. However, before Brandi ever knew about his multiple affairs and his relationship with LeeAnn, the former couple was very much in love.
Brandi and Eddie met at a club in Los Angeles in the early 90s. She had just moved back to the United States after living abroad for six years working as a model. Eddie was working as an actor appearing on shows such as The Young and The Restless and Baywatch. A few years after they met, Eddie proposed to Brandi on New Years' Eve 1999 with a three-carat diamond ring, according to Fame10.
After getting engaged two years prior, the couple tied the knot in 2001 surrounded by 200 friends and family. The ceremony was held at the beachfront of the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California. They welcomed their first son, Mason, together in 2003 and their second son, Jake, in 2007. Brandi and Eddie were living in New York prior to their marriage and moved to Los Angeles after becoming husband and wife.
In 2009, it was revealed Eddie was having multiple affairs with women behind Brandi's back for the last several years. His infidelities became public knowledge after US Weekly published a photo of Eddie and LeAnn together. Brandi was crushed by the news, as she thought she and Eddie were a solid couple. After eight years of marriage, the pair filed for divorce. However, Brandi did not make it easy on him. She prolonged the proceedings out of anger due to his public affair. In the end, she didn't get the divorce settlement she wanted and wound up with nothing.
Now that 12 years have passed, Brandi, Eddie, and LeeAnn are on much better terms. Recently, the three of them spent Christmas together, along with Eddie and Brandi's two sons. Brandi also congratulated LeAnn on her winning The Masked Singer last season. With time, they were able to come to terms with the situation and become a blended family.
