But in the caption, the "How Do I Live" singer hinted there were some "tense, heart-wrenching" things happening with family at home.
"It's been a different anniversary, one filled with tears and worry, but in between, there were moments of laughter and deep gratitude for this love of ours," she wrote.
She provided the meaning behind that message in her Substack newsletter published on May 12.
What Did LeAnn Rimes Say?
In her post, Rimes shared that she and her husband, Eddie Cibrian, "have a parent in rehab after going through a stroke a few weeks ago."
She added, "So the heaviness in our hearts around that has been hard, too. Eddie and I are both only children, which means a lot has fallen onto my sweet husband's shoulders. watching someone you love carry so much while you're barely able to carry yourself is its own kind of heartbreak."
The 9-1-1 Nashville star also said that seeing "your loved ones hurt while you're hurting yourself is just... a lot." She explains that the most difficult parts of this experience are "the helplessness, the vulnerability, the uncertainty."
Wait... Wasn't LeAnn Rimes Sick?
Rimes also gave readers an update on her health. Illness led her to cancel a show in Spokane, Washington, on April 30 and another in Seattle on May 1. The shows were eventually rescheduled for June.
The reason she had to pull out of those performances was because of "a diagnosis of covid leading to severe laryngitis."
The singer added that her illness has been "incredibly humbling."
"My throat still hurts, my voice is still healing, and the doctor is saying 'you need more time,'" she wrote. "And for someone whose voice has been her life, her outlet, her safety net, that kind of uncertainty feels terrifying."
She added, "So for now, i'm healing, feeling everything, letting myself be human. and, let me tell you... that little 13 year old version of me is jumping for joy, knowing that this 43 year old version is putting her first this time around."
