A rep for actor Eddie Cibrian has denied rumours that Leann Rimes’ stint in rehab is down to fears that her husband was having an affair.

The country star checked into a treatment facility on Thursday to help her overcome problems relating to stress and anxiety. But several gossip sites have since reported that her actions were triggered by suspicions that the former Sunset Beach star may be cheating on her.

However, a spokesperson for Cibrian has now told Gossip Cop: “"There is absolutely no truth to that story whatsoever.”

The 39-year-old issued a statement himself following Rimes’ admission, declaring how proud he was of his wife for seeking help:

“My wife is the most remarkable and courageous woman I know. I am so proud of her for having the strength to finally take some time for herself. I will be with her every step of the way."
