Rimes, a 43-year-old singer and actress, shared a carousel of images capturing moments from their 15 years together. In her touching tribute, she reflected on the journey they have had, stating, “15 years of loving you. 15 years of making memories. Your love is such a gift.” The selection of photos included both candid selfies from recent times as well as nostalgic throwbacks from the early days of their romance.
In a light-hearted manner, Rimes added, “And, with all that’s taken place this year, I have new vows… in perimenopause and in health with teeth and without… 😂 here’s to you catching up and me returning the favour 🦷.” This candidness showcased the couple’s ability to maintain a sense of humour amidst life’s challenges. She ended her post with a sweet wish for her husband, saying, “Happy 15th anniversary.”
Amongst the congratulatory messages, Rimes’ co-stars expressed their admiration for the couple. Hunter McVey, who stars alongside her, commented, “Goals all around 🙌❤️ Happy Anniversary to the most beautiful couple inside and out 🫶.” Similarly, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who plays a role in the same series, shared her affection with, “Happy anniversary cuties!!❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥.” Williams-Paisley has her own cause for celebration, having also marked her 23rd wedding anniversary recently.
Rimes also showcased Cibrian’s equally affectionate anniversary message, which featured a compilation video set to Foy Vance’s song “She Burns.” In his post, the 52-year-old actor, known for his role in *CSI: Miami*, wrote, “Still burning after 15 years 🔥,” highlighting the enduring passion within their relationship.
The couple first connected on the set of *Northern Lights*, a Lifetime television film, in 2008, while both were married to different partners at the time. After some initial denials about their blossoming romance, they ultimately parted ways with their respective spouses and began dating in 2009. Their engagement followed in 2010, culminating in their marriage the next year.
Rimes has taken on the role of stepmother to Cibrian’s two sons, Mason and Jake, whom he shares with ex-wife Brandi Glanville. Reflecting upon their family dynamic, Rimes remarked on the significant transition in their lives. “We’ve evolved so much. We’ve been through so much together,” she shared with E! News. “Now our boys, my stepsons are 22 and 18. They’re grown boys. And to help raise his sons — we have a very calm life, which is wonderful.”
The couple’s relationship appears to have matured beautifully over the years. “It didn’t start out that way at all, but now, we’ve really grown into — we just love each other. We love being around each other. We laugh a lot,” Rimes noted about their harmonious life.
Looking back at their 15-year journey, Rimes expressed amazement at how swiftly time has passed. “Fifteen years is wild to think about,” she said. “But so far, so good.” Their commitment to one another appears to be built on a foundation of mutual respect and support.
In a past interview, Rimes shared what she perceived to be the secret to their sustained happiness as a couple. “It just works. We respect each other; respect is a big deal, and once you lose that, you’ve kind of lost everything,” she stated. Describing Cibrian, she added, “He’s a wonderful father and a really good man. He’s kind to me, and I reciprocate.”
As Rimes and Cibrian mark this 15-year milestone, their journey together serves as a testament to the power of love, respect, and shared laughter in cultivating a long-lasting relationship. Fans and admirers alike look forward to seeing what the future holds for this beloved couple.
