Welp.
Last week, LeAnn Rimes told In Touch Weekly that “life is fine as it is” with husband Eddie Cibrian and his two sons, Mason and Jake.
“I have two kids in my house half the time, so I know what it takes to be a parent.”
It may have been an attempt to deflect speculation, because according to Star Magazine, Rimes is pregnant with the couple’s first child.
“It’s early, so there’s no bump,” a source close to the couple told the magazine.
“But the buzz is she’s pregnant.”
The report claims that Rimes and Cibrian underwent IVF after trying to conceive on their own.
“The baby-making escapade has been traumatic,” the source said. “LeAnn had to convince Eddie to go for IVF, and that’s stressful.
“Eddie’s already a dad, so for him not having another baby isn’t the end of the world. But for LeAnn, it’s almost the only thing she thinks about.”
They allegedly prefer to keep the news to themselves until Rimes is four months along.
“She’s had positive pregnancy tests in the past,” the source continued. “But it hasn’t resulted in the happily-ever-after she so desperately wants. She couldn’t handle the heartache of letting people know she’s miscarried.
“Raising the baby will be the easy part after everything they’ve gone through to get there,” said the source helpfully.
If the report is true, then mazel to them both.
