Brandi Glanville Embraces Unique Family Dynamics

Former reality star Brandi Glanville is embracing her unique family dynamic without hesitation. During a recent episode of her podcast, "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered," she elaborated on her choice to celebrate Christmas alongside her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his current wife, LeAnn Rimes, emphasizing the importance of putting her children first.

Prioritizing Her Children

"When it comes to my beloved boys Mason and Jake, what else was I going to do?" Glanville questioned. "Stay home alone during the holidays or join my family and in-laws, who I genuinely adore?"

This decision, which some might find surprising or even "ridiculous," showcased Glanville’s commitment to maintaining a happy environment for her children. She explained, "I sometimes pat myself on the back for making these choices for my boys. It can be really challenging for kids to navigate separate holidays."

Navigating Past Tensions

Brandi, who shares Mason, 21, and Jake, 17, with Cibrian, acknowledged that her decision might raise eyebrows as Cibrian's relationship with Rimes began while he was still married to her. "I recognize that it might be viewed differently if I were the one who had cheated," she candidly noted.

A Lovely Christmas Celebration

Despite any tensions from the past, Glanville described their Christmas celebration as "lovely." She expressed, “As long as everyone’s happy and there’s good food, who cares?"

Sharing a group photo from the festive gathering on Instagram, she humorously noted, “Happy Christmas❤️ not my favorite look for my face," a reference to her ongoing struggle with a facial disfigurement reportedly caused by a parasite. Glanville received plenty of love and support from her blended family, noting the special bond that has formed. "Thank you, Eddie & @leannrimes, @masoncibrian, @jakecibrian, and all our friends and family ❤️❤️❤️."

A Bit About Their Past

Brandi and Eddie were married for eight years, from 2001 to 2009, before splitting, while Cibrian went on to marry Rimes in 2011 after meeting her on the set of "Northern Lights."

Navigating Single Life

Interestingly, since their split, Glanville has dated on and off but is currently single. She recently opened up about her struggles with her health, mentioning she has not been intimate with anyone in over a year due to her condition. "I have places to go, people to make out with, but I haven't kissed or made out with anyone," she shared on the podcast, revealing her hopes for a healthier future.

Conclusion

As Glanville continues to navigate life as a single mother and public figure, her priority remains clear: Creating joyful experiences for her children—no matter what it takes.
