LeAnn’s professional life has become somewhat eclipsed by her private affairs. In 2009, while married to her first husband Dean Sheremet, the country and pop singer began an affair with Eddie Cibrian, whose wife at the time was Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality star Brandi Glanville. Eddie and LeAnn wed two years later after divorce and scandal. Still, says LeAnn, “I feel better than I ever have. There was a lot more pressure when I was 14—a lot more was expected of me.”

LeAnn recently released her latest album Spitfire in June 2013.
