Amid reports that he is sleeping with LeAnn Rimes, his married Northern Lights co-star, the married Eddie Cibrian issued a statement to clear the air.
"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," the recent Ugly Betty guest star said (ironically, his character, Coach Diaz, was also having an affair on the show).
A friend of LeAnn Rimes also says that the country star, 26, and Cibrian, 35 – who is married to model Brandi Glanville and has two sons, Mason, 5, and Jake, almost 2 – aren't in a relationship. Rimes is married to songwriter Dean Sheremet.
Rimes didn't confirm, but certainly didn't deny an affair in a statement issued on her website yesterday. So what gives? Are they hooking up or not?
Well, Us Weekly, which first broke the story, has posted a video of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian kissing, holding hands and sucking on each other's fingers.
All during a March 7 date at Mosun and Club M in Laguna Beach, Calif.
Twenty-two seconds into the clip, Cibrian arrives and the restaurant and they walk in hand-in-hand. Then they're seated - as seen in the center left of the frame - and proceed to hold hands (36 seconds) and kiss (1:47).
At the 2:10 mark, LeAnn Rimes suggestively sucks on Eddie Cibrian's finger. Yowza. They leave together shortly after. Us claims to have the $95 receipt for their dinner, which was paid for by Cibrian on his credit card and signed by him.
Ouch, Eddie! Follow the jump to see the video for yourself ...
BUSTED: Despite his denials, the married Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes appear to be more than friends. How will their respective spouses respond to this story?

I AM SHOCKED!...
Shocked that Cibrian's wife let him off his choke-chain long enough for a trip to the bathroom, much less time enough for an affair. I've never seen a picture of him where she hasn't been GLUEDtohisside, posing and carrying on like the photographers were there for HER.
Maybe being around Rimes made Cibrian long for someone REAL? Hopefully, Rimes' fans will understand a woman can only be her husband's beard for so long, particularly when faced with a new man's overwhelming HOTNESS! Go on, girrrrl.

LeAnn should get out of this sham of a marriage. She apparently isn't getting what needs at home. Instead she should get herself a “real man” that she is “single”. Unfortunately she made a mistake, she is human, she married very young and didn’t know any better.
The real DOG here is Eddie Cirbian; he took advantage of her vulnerability. He has a wife and 2 toddlers. He is way older than LeAnn. He knows the deal. He is the Real Culprit here.

What idiots?! Have they not heard of a video camera in a restaurant?!?! I mean, come on guys. Like they really thought they wouldn't get caught. Or maybe just maybe, they didn't care.

things happen sometimes, the bad thing is, it happened when they're already married...but nobody can stop people to act and think foolish. Let's see what's next.
