Country singer LeAnn Rimes has separated from her husband, Dean Sheremet. Just hours after it was announced the couple were no longer together, Sheremet took to his Twitter page to express his appreciation for his supporters.

"Thanks to everyone for all the support through a very difficult time!" he tweeted. The message was only Sheremet's second since March 18, when he posted: "I love my wife!!!" The couple, who married in 2002, are no longer living together, and the split comes just four months after reports surfaced that Rimes and her co-star in the TV movie Northern Lights, Eddie Cibrian, were allegedly having an affair. A pal of the couple revealed: "LeAnn and Dean have been separated for quite some time now but they're continuing to try to work through their relationship." The news comes days after Cibrian's wife, Brandi Glanville, said she and the actor were splitting. Cibrian's manager said: "Eddie is a devoted and loving father first and foremost, and the speed bump he and Brandi are experiencing needs to be worked out privately for everyone's benefit." Cibrian, who is joining the cast of C.S.I. Miami, has denied he was having an affair with Rimes.
