I don’t know whether I’d be more gutted if my husband left me for a man or another woman, but Leann Rimes might be finding out the perils of the former amid rumours that he hubby is gay.
The country singer isn’t taking the media bait though and has laughed off allegations that her husband is gay after a woman claiming to be a family member 'outed' the backing dancer.
One of Dean Sheremet's supposed cousins, calling herself Pebbles, called in to Michigan's Mojo In The Morning radio show on Friday to comment on reports suggesting Rimes has been cheating on her husband with married actor Eddie Cibrian.
The alleged relative revealed Sheremet's family is more shocked that the couple's marriage has lasted seven years than by allegations of infidelity - which have been denied by Rimes - insisting the dancer is gay.
Pebbles told the morning show, "The family literally used to take bets on what age he would come out, and then all of the sudden he got married!"
But Rimes' spokesperson has laughed off the claims, telling Usmagazine.com: "Although Dean and LeAnn never knew they had a cousin named Pebbles, they are glad to hear that she has come out of the woodwork. Dean and LeAnn are also interested in connecting with their other long lost family members: Fred, Wilma, Barney and Bamm-Bamm. So Pebbles, please let us know if you have spoken to them, too."
Rimes and Sheremet, who married in February 2002, renewed their wedding vows last August.
