Eddie Cibrian is suing Life & Style magazine after an article claimed that he is cheating on LeAnn Rimes.

Cibrian and Rimes caused controversy earlier this year when they left their spouses and started dating. However, the Life & Style article claimed that Cibrian has also been dating aspiring actress Scheana Marie Jancan for three years.

Gossip Cop reports that the story is untrue and that Cibrian is now planning to sue the magazine.

In a statement, his representative said: "Unfortunately, Life & Style magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales, but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others. This is irresponsible and reckless journalism.

"Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It's a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding."
