Dean Sheremet

Sheremet married singer/actress Rimes in 2002, when they were 21 and 20 years old. They separated in July 2009, amidst rumors (later substantiated) that Rimes had an extramarital affair with actor Eddie Cibrian. Cibrian and his wife are also divorcing. Rimes and Cibrian have since gone public with their relationship.

Sheremet is represented by Los Angeles divorce attorney Stacy Phillips. Phillips previously represented Britney Spears, Bobby Brown and Tori Spelling’s first husband, Charlie Shahnaian.

Sheremet was a backup dancer when he met Rimes and reportedly worked a bit as a choreographer during the marriage. (He is now taking classes at the French Culinary Institute in New York City.) His income though is almost positively negligible compared to that of Rimes during the same time period.

It is unknown whether or not the couple has a prenuptial agreement – although it certainly would have been smart of Rimes to do so, as she has been a successful recording artist since age 13. If they did enter into a prenup, Rimes could protect her premarital property by clearly identifying it at the time of marriage, eliminating any future argument that certain property was marital in nature. She could also have obtained an agreement that royalties and other income based on work she performed prior to the marriage be denominated at her separate property. It seems likely as well that she would probably have much of her musical income set aside as her separate property – with a provisional settlement to Sheremet upon divorce.

At the time, all parties involved denied any extramarital affair and both couples seemed to go out of their way to put on a happy face for the media. Then, Rimes and her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, put their Nashville mansion on the market in May. Even after that news, Rimes still denied that a divorce was in the works.

Finally, in July, Cibrian and Glanville announced their separation. Glanville took immediately to the media, accusing Rimes of stalking Cibrian. Sources then told the tabloids that Rimes and Sheremet had, in fact, been separated for “quite some time”. Just last week, Rimes and Cibrian appeared together in public on a golf outing – apparently now confirming their relationship.

Both marriages occurred after the famous spouse achieved some degree of fame but it is unknown whether there are prenuptial agreements in place. In modern day America, it is unlikely that either Cibrian or Glanville will be “punished” financially in family court for their indiscretions.  While “no-fault divorce” officially refers to the legal grounds for divorce, most family courts look to divide marital property equally or close to equally, even where there has been adultery by one party.

Glanville and Cibrian have two sons: Mason, 6, and Jake, 2. Rimes and Sheremet have no children.

UPDATE:  Cibrian is represented in the divorce by noted L.A. family law attorney Neal Hersh. Hersh previously represented Kim Basinger and Brad Pitt in their divorces.
