LEANN RIMES' EX SEEKS COMFORT

LeAnn Rimes' estranged husband Dean Sheremet has become friends with the heartbroken wife of Eddie Cibrian - the man LeAnn is now dating.

LeAnn Rimes' estranged husband has befriended Eddie Cibrian's heartbroken wife.

The singer-and-actress' spouse Dean Sheremet - who split from the 27-year-old star following her romance with her married 'Northern Lights' co-star - is being comforted by Brandi Glanville as the two cope with their heartache together.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "They have been supporting each other. They've put the pieces together about the last few months, and they're developing a good friendship through this."

Dean and Brandi were first introduced by their spouses on the set of the TV movie last autumn.

They have had to deal with public heartache as rumours of LeAnn and Eddie's affair became more frequent over recent months.

Earlier this week, LeAnn confirmed she is getting a divorce just days after returning from a romantic trip in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Eddie for her 27th birthday.

Dean admits he is heartbroken and shocked by the "surreal" situation.

The former dancer said: "I don't really know what to say. It's bizarre. It's surreal. But I'm doing OK."

Eddie's wife Brandi Glanville filed for divorce last month, revealing she had split from her spouse because he had been unfaithful.

She said: "Eddie and LeAnn deserve each other."
