The country singer LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are taking the next step in their relationship and they are moving in.A source tells People, “It just made sense for them. Eddie’s lease was up and LeAnn’s home was bigger and already familiar to Eddie’s sons.”

“It’s somewhere the kids know how and it allows Mason to stay in the same school district, which was important to them, that there’s continuity for him. They take [moving in with the kids] with a lot of responsibility. They want to make sure that it was done in the right way.”

The move to San Fernando Valley, the gated community in Los Angeles wont “be an overnight thing,” but it will happen over the course of the next month.

LeAnn Rimes’s spokesperson bears out the news telling PEOPLE, “they’re excited for this happy new journey.”
