LeAnn Rimes turns swimwear model

The 28-year-old country singer - who is a fan of uploading pictures of herself in her bikini on Twitter - posed in a two-piece for an interview with Mikoh Swimwear, and gushed about her love for husband Eddie Cibrian.

“I have been blessed to have experienced so much in my short lifetime. I’ve worked very hard for everything I have and nothing has come easy.

“My biggest accomplishment though has been, to quote the Notebook… ’I’ve loved another with all my heart, and to me, this has always been enough’.

“What’s life without love? You can accomplish everything you want in life, but without anyone to share it with, what’s it really worth?'

The couple, who had an affair and ended their respective marriages to be together, hope to have a family ‘at some point’, but for now she said that she’s happy spending time with Cibrian’s sons from his previous marriage to Brandi Glanville.

'I love seeing my 'bonus boys' and my husband running around in total privacy and me taking photos,' she said. 'I love being with them in our little private cove [at Laguna Beach]. It's pure heaven!'
