LeAnn Rimes got her start as a finalist on Star Search and singing the national anthem at Dallas Cowboys football games, where she was discovered at the tender age of 13. By the age of 25, she already had two Grammys, three Academy of Country Music honors, 12 Billboard Awards and had sold 37 million albums. After releasing her follow-up album and appearing in Coyote Ugly, LeAnn married dancer Dean Sherement in 2002. Their happy family was torn apart a few years later when an affair between LeAnn and Eddie Cibrian, who was married with two children, hit the news in 2009. A year later the couple becomes engaged and are married in 2011.
