Eddie Cibrian Denies Affair with LeAnn Rimes

"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," Eddie, who's married to model Brandi Glanville and has two young sons, said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Still, a friend close to LeAnn says there is something going on between her and the actor. "There are some feelings there but it's too early to tell if it's going to develop and if she's done with her marriage," the source told People.com.

Apparently the country singer and her husband, Dean Sheremet, were having problems way before Eddie came into the picture.

"[LeAnn and Dean] are figuring it out," says the friend. "They have a lot of mutual respect for one another."

"The situation that she's grappling with right now is not the cause for her marriage troubles," the friend continues. "There have been issues brewing for months prior to meeting Eddie on set."

That being said, I'm still thinking that LeAnn and Eddie are together -- they just haven't figured out if they want to leave their spouses for each other yet.
