There’s no denying that LeAnn Rimes is now considerably thinner than she was, say, a year ago. After months of speculation that she may be too thin to still be healthy, husband Eddie Cibrian also chimes in the conversation.

The actor, who met and fell in love with LeAnn while also working on a movie, when they were both married to other people, says there’s nothing about his wife that he’d change.

Cibrian is now promoting “The Playboy Club,” a new dramedy that’s scheduled to premiere this fall. He talked with Extra a bit about it and, as it happens, the topic of LeAnn’s weight also came up.

In response to all those who go online to say that Rimes is not healthy, that she’d lost too much weight or even that she’s starving herself to be this skinny, Eddie has this to say, as the video below will confirm: “she is healthy.”

“I think she looks wonderful. She is very healthy, and to me – perfect,” Cibrian told Extra, clearly proud of his new wife.

He also explains her current weight by hinting that she’s somewhat of a gym freak, thus, she works out a lot – or, at least, more than he does.

He knows this because they hit the gym together regularly.

“She really loves to work out. If I had my preference, I’d rather go outside and play basketball or golf,” the actor tells Extra.

Whereas Eddie focuses on the positive, LeAnn said a while back that she couldn’t help but be affected by all this talk about her figure, who, she also stressed, was very healthy.

In fact, it was precisely this (the fact that she was healthy and working so hard to stay in shape) that made it impossible for her to hear that some people believed she wasn’t taking care of herself and sacrificed her health for a Hollywood-type of body.

“For someone like me who is healthy, who works hard for my body, it’s very frustrating. I work out and take care of myself, and not in an over-obsessive way,” she said, as we also reported at the time.

Whatever she’s doing, her husband Eddie seems to appreciate it. Check out the video below.
