Brandi Glanville’s Boyfriend and Family Life
Brandi was married to actor Eddie Cibrian from 2001 to 2010. After a few years after their first encounter, Eddie proposed to Brandi on New Year’s Eve in 1999 with a three-carat diamond ring. The two would wed 2 years after their engagement.
The couple wedded in 2001 while surrounded by 200 of their friends and family at the beachfront of the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, California. In 2003, they welcomed their eldest son, Mason Cibrian, and in 2007, their second son, Jake Cibrian was born.
The couple was living a happy married life in Los Angeles, California until 2009 when reports about Eddie’s affair with different women surfaced. One of the most popular affairs that he had was with country singer LeAnn Rimes. The two met after working together in the movie Northern Lights. The public affair angered Brandi which resulted in her prolonging the divorce proceedings. Brandi and Eddie finalized their divorce on September 23, 2010.
Now, eleven years after the divorce, Brandi, Eddie, and LeAnn are on better terms. The trio even celebrated Mother’s Day and Christmas together, along with Mason and Jake. (3)
As of 2025, Brandi remains legally divorced from Eddie, and there are no reliable public reports indicating she is in a committed long-term relationship. Multiple recent reports describe her as single.
Meanwhile, Brandi had been open about battling a serious medical issue involving her face — what she previously described as a suspected “parasite” or facial infection/angioedema.
In December 2025, she announced that doctors finally provided a diagnosis for her facial disfigurement — bringing some long-awaited resolution after a prolonged and difficult ordeal.
Brandi Glanville’s Career
Before becoming a big television personality, Brandi Glanville was a model. She was only 16 years old when her modeling career started. When she was 16, Brandi left the United States to move to Paris, France for her modeling career. Her talent management was the Elite Model Management. Because she was an international model, she worked in various parts of the world such as Hamburg, Munich, Los Angeles, New York, and Tokyo. As a model, she walked in various runway shows in Paris, and she has also appeared in various magazines such as Glamour, Cosmopolitan, NW, and Beverly Hills Lifestyle Magazine.
As a television personality, she has appeared in television series such as “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,” “Celebrity Apprentice,” “Famously Single,” “My Kitchen Rules,” “Celebrity Big Brother UK,” “Celebrity Big Brother U.S.,” “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Family Edition,” together with her father.
In 2013, she co-hosted an episode of CNN with Anderson Cooper in his talk show Anderson. In February of the same year, she worked as a fashion correspondent and hosted the Academy Awards for ABC’s On the Red Carpet. It was also in this year that she appeared in one of the episodes of The CW’s teen drama series 90210 and in Lifetime’s television film Missing at 17. In 2014, she portrayed Housewife Veronica in the comedy film The Hungover Games, and in 2016 she was Tech Whitley in Syfy’s disaster television film Sharknado: The 4th Awakens.
Brandi is also an author. In February 2013, she, together with Leslie Bruce released a book called Drinking and Tweeting: And other Brandi Blunders, which became a #1 New York Times Bestseller. It was such a hit that they had to publish book 2 called Drinking and Dating: P.S. Social Media Is Ruining Romance.
Brandi’s long, public health ordeal (facial disfigurement, medical bills, stress) had a major impact on her physical appearance, mental health, finances — now that she has a diagnosis and is recovering, she appears focused on healing and stability.
While she has hinted at new projects (TV, YouTube), none are publicly confirmed yet — so we don’t know what shape her “comeback” might take.
