LEANN RIMES said she will not comment about allegations she has been having an affair.
The singer has been at the centre of rumours that she has been seeing Eddie Cibrian, the co-star of her TV movie Northern Lights.
But she said she is keeping tight-lipped about the reports and said she'd rather "let people believe" what they read.
The pair sparked rumours they were cheating on their spouses last month after leaked CCTV footage showed them enjoying an intimate dinner together in California.
As well as holding hands, the pair were also seen kissing.
Rimes and Cibrian have both dismissed reports they are romantically linked and she said she is tired of defending herself against claims she has been cheating on her husband of seven years, dancer Dean Sheremet.
She said: "It's something that I hate going back and forth in the press about. I'm not going to do it because it hurts my loved ones, it hurts me, and I'm just not discussing it.
"I've been around long enough... Let people believe what they're going to believe."
