US Weekly has got its hand on an exclusive revelation made by Eddie Cibrian's wife Brandi Glanville that she has left the actor over affair. "Eddie and I have decided to take some time apart," she says in a statement before then adding, "I want to do what is best for our children. Eddie and LeAnn [Rimes] deserve each other."

Glanville's confirmation comes hot on the heels of the magazine's report that Cibrian and Rimes were snapped together again in the early afternoon of July 17. The alleged lovers were said to have been seen outside the Malibu home of Jeff Berger, a longtime friend of the singer and her husband, Dean Sheremet.

Cibrian has been married to Glanville since 2001. The pair has two sons; Mason Edward and Jake Austin. No single comment has been made just yet by Cibrian of his wife's claim. Rimes also hasn't addressed the matter.

Talks of Eddie Cibrian having an affair with LeAnn Rimes sparked in March this year after US Weekly made public a footage showing them holding hands and kissing at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, California. The "Northern Lights" co-stars have denied the claim though.

"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," Cibrian insisted. As for Rimes, notwithstanding the affair rumors she's been snapped putting a united front with husband Dean Sheremet.

US Weekly has all the details regarding Cibrian and Rimes' affair on its latest issue, which hits the newsstands Wednesday, July 22.
