LeAnn Rimes’ next album is inspired by her marriage split.

The 27-year-old singer – who is getting divorced from Dean Sheremet following her affair with her 'Northern Lights' co-star Eddie Cibrian – has poured her heartbreak into her new material, which is due to be released in the spring.

 

She told People magazine: “Most of the stuff I've written myself, so it's definitely my life. The subjects of the tunes are down the middle between heartbreak and love.”

 

LeAnn has found writing new material helped her come to terms with the changes in her personal life.

 

She explained: “Part of my therapy is to write. I write with a lot of my best friends, so most of our meetings are therapy sessions that turn into songs.

 

“I'm great. I'm really happy and I am enjoying being back between Los Angeles and Nashville. With work and my personal life, everything's good. It really is.”

 

Despite their split, LeAnn and Dean – who were married for seven years – remain friends.

 

Dean recently said he still speaks to LeAnn, adding he is “pretty good” at the moment.

 

LeAnn and Eddies relationship was first exposed in March, although she initially denied it.

 

Although she has not publicly confirmed the reports, LeAnn announced she was divorcing Dean in September – shortly after Eddies wife Brandi Glanville announced she was seeking a divorce.
