She shared a family photo on Instagram, mentioning that she was with her "modern family. " Brandi and Eddie, who were married from 2001 to 2009, have two sons together: Mason, 21, and Jake, 17. They divorced after Eddie had an affair with LeAnn while they were still married.

"It might sound weird, but I'm proud of myself for putting my kids first, " she said. "As long as everyone is happy and having a good time, that's all that matters. " Brandi shared that she enjoys having both her ex and his wife there for the holidays. Despite the unusual situation, she feels that their co-parenting dynamic works well for their family.
