All those gratuitous TwitPics paid off!

LeAnn Rimes scored a gig as a swimsuit model for Mikoh Swimwear. The 28-year-old showed off her taut body in a tiny bikini on their website, plus opened up about planning for a family and her relationship with hubby Eddie Cibrian.

"I have been blessed to have experienced so much in my short lifetime," the singer-actress said in the interview published Thursday. But her greatest accomplishment so far? She answered that with a quote from the movie The Notebook: "I've loved another with all my heart, and to me, this has always been enough."

"What's life without love?" she mused. "You can accomplish everything you want in life, but without anyone to share it with, what's it really worth?"

Rimes, who married Cibrian, 38, in April, admitted it's difficult to plan for the future "[because] our lives change daily," but added, "I plan on music, film, family... Mostly family at some point."

For now, the newfound swimsuit model is enjoying quality time with Cibrian and his two sons with ex-wife Brandi Glanville. "I love seeing my 'bonus boys' and my husband running around in total privacy and me taking photos," she gushed. "I love being with them in our little private cove [at Laguna Beach]. It's pure heaven!"

Cibrian is also pretty smitten with his fitness-loving wife; earlier this month he told Extra that in his eyes, Rimes had a "perfect" body. "She is very healthy," he added.

In the past, Rimes has come under fire for being too thin. "I'm just lean," she tweeted in May in defense of a scary skinny bikini shot. "Thanks for your concern, but no need to be."
