Dean Sheremet filed papers on Thursday to divorce LeAnn Rimes, UsMagazine.com has learned. In the petition for divorce, Sheremet asks for Rimes to pay spousal support plus all attorney fees and costs. His lawyer Stacy D. Phillips also requests the court not to grant spousal support to Rimes. The papers were made public on Friday.

Sheremet, now 29, married singer Rimes, now 27, in 2002. They separated in July 2009. Reports circulated that Rimes had filed in September to end her marriage, but no court records exist to support the rumor.

The singer did release a statement announcing their split. She said, "This decision was amicable and we remain committed and caring friends with great admiration for one another."

Hollywood homewreckers: look back on other scandals

Us Weekly first broke the story in March that Rimes was carrying on an affair with her former Lifetime movie costar, Eddie Cibrian. Cibrian, 36, was also married, with two children, to Brandi Glanville. His divorce from Glanville is ongoing. Cibrian and Rimes have stepped out together recently, attending events in Hollywood as a couple.

Remember these hot summer 2009 couples?

Sheremet is currently taking classes in Manhattan at the French Culinary Institute. In August, when asked about the extended Rimes-Cibrian affair that ended his marriage, he fought back tears and told Usmagazine.com, "It's bizarre. It's surreal. But I'm doing OK."

    He cries because he's losing her money and her fame. He has none of either. He has no pride demanding spousal support when there are no kids. Guess he forgot how to support himself.

    Think about it. If Dean was gay, why wouldn't Leann use that against him? It would be the perfect way to swing public sympathy to her. Of course, I don't know 100% that he isn't-no one of us posters does- but just because a guy isn't macho and is a house husband doesn't always equal gay! Do you think she would have put up with a sexless marriage for seven years? She's a vital young woman. Why would she need a sham marriage? Also I don't understand the posts slamming his looks (the beaver teeth comment especially)when he's an attractive man with a nice body. Baffling.

    Shelly, what does "write" after he spends her money mean? Are you trying to say "right" after he spends her money. Also the word "to" in the last sentence should be spelled "too."

    LeAnn is a grown up girl; how she spends what she has is her own business. She can decide what will be spent and what won't.

    If Eddie luvs Le Ann he won't cheat. If he luv Eddie he cheat.

    Come on people! This is all a joke. They play they pay. Leann is in for a rude awakening because Eddie will cheat on her to, write after he spends all her money.

    Stan, ToTeamRimes says thank you for the info. Are we starting a Spanish class? Has LeAnn ever said how she feels about having kids?

  • December 20, 2009 - 9:14pm ToTeamRimes

    Ya me parecia. Gracias por la informacion.

  • December 20, 2009 - 8:25pm What she should do...

    If I were LeAnn, I wouldn't get married again or have any kids, but if she and Eddie decided to get married, I wouldn't have any kids. She can be a stepmother to Eddie's two boys. That would be the ideal situation, IMO.

    I think Deane should be true to himself and start living the lifestyle he wants, and from what I've heard that doesn't involve a woman.

    Si hablo espanol? Y tu?

  • December 20, 2009 - 6:19pm ToTeamRimes

    Phishing? Habla espanol?

    Good for him, I hope he gets exactly what he wants. LeAnn's a TRAMP, they would still be married if she didn't cheap on him. If he's taking classes at a culinary institute, them I'm sure he will get a job. But, LeAnn need to pay if she wants to play...

    Dumb Theona...Eddie couldn't ask for something Brandi didn't have. Did you go to the "Two + Two = Three" school !!!??? It was an error. Get an education!

  • December 20, 2009 - 4:23pm cbme

    Why would Eddie as for spousal support when his ex wasn't even working? Theona, that is a nutty statement.

    Le use to be so beautiful. Life in Hollywood must be difficult. Wish she would come home.

  • December 20, 2009 - 3:44pm tjb

    Scheana Marie Jancan isn't penniless. She got her a big bag of money from Eddie.

  • December 20, 2009 - 3:24pm Theona

    In his original filing Eddie asked for spousal support but resubmitted after he was embarrassed into doing so!!!!

    Get rid of alimony altogether, This is for you. I have news for you; most of the women of divorce already have a job and get very little child support unless they are a celebrity. I never got alimony and child support never supports a child if you aren't a celebrity. I agree on the alimony. Let 'em get a job, but the child support is necessary.

    YEAH, ISAD IT, This is for you. Do you have a sore spot when you talk about cheating people? Read my post again; does it say anything about cheating of any kind? NO, it does not. I, in essence, said everyone is guilty of something. Since that means cheating on a spouse to you, I guess you must be guilty of that.
