Personal Life
Glanville began dating actor Eddie Cibrian in the fall of 1998. They married in 2001 and have two sons, Mason (born in 2003) and Jake (born in 2007).
Glanville was embroiled in a dramatic scandal involving her now ex-husband.

Glanville divorced Cibrian in 2010. By 2018, she was on good terms with her ex and Rimes.
After her divorce, Brandi revealed in her memoir that she went through a really bad time. She wrote: "I'll let you on a little secret: I…hate being alone. I think putting on a front was a way to help me get through the days and nights when I was so depressed and pathetically sad. I am, in fact, a hopeless romantic. I want someone to wake up with each morning, to take out the trash on garbage day, and to care deeply about me. I wanted my date on New Year's Eve to be the same man who took me out on Valentine's Day."
Glanville was the Celebrity Grand Marshal at Sacramento Pride in June 2013.
In spring 2020, rumors circulated that Brandi had an affair with actress Denise Richards. According to RHOBH Erika Jayne, Denise Richards sent cease and desist letters to show producers and cast to stop Brandi Glanville's affair talk. Jayne believes Brandi, however, and doesn't think she would just make up a story like this. For what it's worth, Richards reportedly thought it was 'disgusting' that her costars and crew would help spread the cheating allegations.
