Surprising no one, Dean Sheremet has filed for divorce from his estranged wife LeAnn Rimes. When asked for a comment, LeAnn stopped grinding on Eddie Cibrian for ten full seconds to say “meh.” Not really. LeAnn and Dean separated back in July, just three days after Eddie and his wife Brandi Glanville formally filed separation papers. While Brandi has been speaking about Eddie and LeAnn to anyone who will listen, Dean has been keeping a very low profile, only appearing a few times in the past few months, after he moved out of the home he shared with LeAnn and moving to New York. Oh, and Dean mentions in the divorce papers that he wants LeAnn to pay spousal support and all of his lawyer’s fees. Which I kind of think it fair.

Dean Sheremet filed papers on Thursday to divorce LeAnn Rimes, UsMagazine.com has learned. In the petition for divorce, Sheremet asks for Rimes to pay spousal support plus all attorney fees and costs. His lawyer Stacy D. Phillips also requests the court not to grant spousal support to Rimes. The papers were made public on Friday.

Sheremet, now 29, married singer Rimes, now 27, in 2002. They separated in July 2009. Reports circulated that Rimes had filed in September to end her marriage, but no court records exist to support the rumor.

The singer did release a statement announcing their split. She said, “This decision was amicable and we remain committed and caring friends with great admiration for one another.”

Us Weekly first broke the story in March that Rimes was carrying on an affair with her former Lifetime movie costar, Eddie Cibrian. Cibrian, 36, was also married, with two children, to Brandi Glanville. His divorce from Glanville is ongoing. Cibrian and Rimes have stepped out together recently, attending events in Hollywood as a couple.

Sheremet is currently taking classes in Manhattan at the French Culinary Institute. In August, when asked about the extended Rimes-Cibrian affair that ended his marriage, he fought back tears and told Usmagazine.com, “It’s bizarre. It’s surreal. But I’m doing OK.”

I give Dean a lot of credit for the way he’s handled the LeAnn situation. Perhaps it was just about the money for him, or maybe he and LeAnn just handled their split with more maturity than most because they really do care about each other, and just didn’t want to be married anymore.

Oh, and now that I’m looking at these older photos of LeAnn Rimes, I’m getting more convinced that she’s had something done to her nose. It used to be bigger – I don’t think it’s just a shadow.
