LeAnn Rimes has shared more details about her current family situation and her own health following a cryptic anniversary post she shared on social media last month.
The 9-1-1: Nashville star had fans worried in April when she shared an Instagram post marking her 15th wedding anniversary to Eddie Cibrian. In the post’s caption, Rimes said her anniversary had been “filled with tears and worry,” noting that there were some “very tense, heart wrenching things happening at home with family.”
Rimes provided an update on Tuesday (May 12), revealing on her Substack that she and Cibrian “have a parent in rehab after going through a stroke a few weeks ago.”
“So the heaviness in our hearts around that has been hard, too,” she wrote, per People. “Eddie and I are both only children, which means a lot has fallen onto my sweet husband’s shoulders. Watching someone you love carry so much while you’re barely able to carry yourself is its own kind of heartbreak.”
The “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” singer added that watching “your loved ones hurt while you’re hurting yourself is just… a lot.” She also expressed how the “hardest parts” are “the helplessness, the vulnerability, the uncertainty.”
Rimes also touched on her own health, revealing how the experience has been “incredibly humbling.” On April 30, the actress announced she had to cancel shows in Spokane and Seattle due to “severe illness,” telling her fans she was “truly heartbroken” to have to reschedule.
She didn’t elaborate on her illness in her Substack post, but did reveal she is still feeling the effects despite needing to be performance-ready soon. “My throat still hurts, my voice is still healing, and the doctor is saying ‘you need more time,'” Rimes wrote. “And for someone whose voice has been her life, her outlet, her safety net, that kind of uncertainty feels terrifying.”
Rimes also added that having to cancel and change shows around has been one of her “toughest decisions and hardest inner battles,” but she’s realized that her health comes before anything else.
“For years, I’ve overridden my body and mind, performing at times when I knew I shouldn’t, out of fear of disappointing my fans, who mean so much to me. And the guilt has always weighed heavily, which doesn’t help my healing one bit,” she stated before noting she now has “clarity about what’s important… health has to come first.”
