LeAnn Rimes' next album is inspired by her marriage split.

The 27-year-old singer - who is getting divorced from Dean Sheremet following her affair with her 'Northern Lights' co-star Eddie Cibrian - has poured her heartbreak into her new material, which is due to be released in the spring.

LeAnn Rimes is looking for a love nest. The singer-and-actress - who is dating her "Northern Lights" co-star Eddie Cibrian - went house hunting alone in Los Angeles last Saturday.

LeAnn - who announced she is divorcing Dean Sheremet last week - was in "great spirits, smiling and very upbeat" as she visited a secluded two-storey property in Beverly Hills.

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."

LeAnn Rimes has announced she is getting a divorce. The singer-and-actress - who is romancing her "Northern Lights" co-star Eddie Cibrian - confirmed she has split from her husband-of-seven-years Dean Sheremet.

She said on her official website: "After much thoughtful mutual consideration, Dean and I have agreed to move forward with dissolving our marriage. This decision was amicable and we remain committed and caring friends with great admiration for one another. Thank you so much for all of your continued love and support - it is deeply appreciated."

LeAnn Rimes' boyfriend has filed for divorce from his wife. Eddie Cibrian - who is thought to have begun an affair with the singer in March when they were both still married - has started legal proceedings to end his eight-year marriage to Brandi Glanville.

Brandi revealed: "He filed on Monday and I accepted it. We're getting a divorce. We talked to each other yesterday."
