We study a modified quantum Rabi model with a monochromatic bosonic mode and two qubits coupled via a spin-spin interaction. We focus on eigenstates of the model in two different regimes. Without qubit mixing, the Hilbert space can be divided into two symmetry sectors. It is found that the model can be reduced to the standard Rabi model, and therefore the eigenenergy can be obtained systematically through solving the so-called G-function. With the qubit mixing, we study the superradiant phase transition with the mean field and direct diagonalization method, both giving consistent results. It is found that the symmetry of the ground state is broken. We explore the symmetry breaking by varying system parameters. Using a variety of methods, we show the dependence of the symmetry breaking on the qubit mixing
