That's the one positive I take away from it because the rest freaking sucks."Scroll through for a look at Glanville and Cibrian’s relationship over the years:

The duo got engaged on New Year’s Eve after one year of dating.

Glanville and Cibrian tied the knot in Laguna Niguel, California, in April.

The television personality and the actor became parents for the first time, welcoming their son Mason.

Glanville and Cibrian expanded their brood with the birth of their son Jake. “My kids are my life so don't get it twisted, the reason I breathe and work so hard to take care of them,” the Bravolebrity captioned a photo of her boys in December 2015.

Us broke the news in March that Cibrian was having an affair with the Blue musician. Glanville filed for divorce five months later.

"The reason it is so bad is she was pretending to be my friend as well," the bestselling author said of Rimes during a September 2012 appearance on The Jeff Probst Show. "It would have been better had I not known her and they were just having an affair. We're sitting there and she's pretending they're pals — and she's sleeping with my husband."

The exes finalized their divorce in October.

During a January interview with Glamour, Glanville recalled slashing Cibrian’s motorcycle tires when she first found out about his affair. She claimed that Rimes felt no guilt over the situation.

“Marriages break up all the time. People have affairs. Happens every day. It matters how you handle yourself after and if you're actually remorseful. I've never found LeAnn to be remorseful. I found her to be like, ‘Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, I got your family,’” she alleged.

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip alum dished on her ex-husband’s infidelity in her book Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders. In the bestseller, she quipped that getting vagin*l rejuvenation surgery helped her get over the former 3Deep member.

“Later that night, over a glass of sauvignon blanc, it occurred to me: a brand-new vagin* would be an Eddie-free vagin*. It would be something completely unknown to him and would offer me the fresh start I so desperately deserved,” she wrote.

Glanville officially buried the hatchet with her ex and Rimes in April after years of tension.

“The three of us sat and talked for hours, hashed everything out and the feud with @leannrimes, Eddie and I is over,” she wrote via Twitter at the time. “They will not be getting rid of me on any holidays #modernfamily.”

The former couple celebrated Easter together with their sons and the “How Do I Live” singer.

“Happy Easter, loves! Our awkward family Easter photo/Christmas card?! Lol,” Rimes captioned an Instagram snap of the crew.

Glanville briefly reignited the feud during the coronavirus lockdown in March.

“It’s very crazy that I’ve been alone for this entire week and I can’t be with my children because it happens not to be my week in our divorce settlement,” she wrote via Twitter at the time. “I think that this is a time with special circ*mstances and I should be able to be with them.”

Two days later, the Famously Single alum shared a slightly shady update. “I got the boys back today. I still will never understand why we all don’t stay together in [their] mansion with me in the guest house so we can both be with our kids. Guess I’m just further involved or removed,” she wrote.

The exes both attended a family dinner celebrating their oldest son as he turned 18 in June.

“Happy Birthday Mason! You may legally be an adult now but you’ll always be my baby boy💗💗. I love you so much,” Glanville wrote via Instagram at the time.

The former model claimed that Cibrian had an affair with Piper Perabo during their marriage.

“They did a movie together and Mason was 1 year old,” Glanville told Page Six in December. “And I went to the set and it was in another country — Romania, I think. And [Piper] was a horrible c–t to me.”

The Celebrity Apprentice alum also alleged that crew members on the film in question, 2005's The Cave, told her “that Piper and Eddie were f—king.”

Cibrian, for his part, quickly shut down his ex-wife's claims.

“I’m sad I have to address this, I really believed that we had come a long way, but this was untrue 19 years ago and it’s untrue now,” the But I’m a Cheerleader actor told Us in a statement. “Just because someone thinks something might be true does not make it true. This is all so unnecessary.”
