It was a weekend full of joy and surprise for country music fans everywhere—Reba McEntire is officially engaged! The legendary singer shared the heartwarming news that she and longtime boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, are tying the knot. And in true Reba fashion, the proposal was nothing short of charming: a quiet, emotional moment right on their beloved ranch in Texas, a place they call their peaceful escape from the spotlight.
At 70, Reba is still every bit the powerhouse—graceful, resilient, and real. After more than 40 years in the music industry and two previous marriages, she had never hinted at walking down the aisle again. But love works in mysterious ways. Since their relationship quietly took root in early 2020, Reba and Rex’s story has become one of the most genuine and admired in Hollywood.
According to close friends, Rex popped the question during a sunset horseback ride—yes, really! Talk about a country fairytale. He got down on one knee right there on the trail. Reba later gave fans a peek at her stunning engagement ring on Instagram—a cushion-cut diamond that’s rumored to be worth over half a million dollars. The post quickly filled with love from fellow country stars like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, and Trisha Yearwood, showing just how beloved Reba truly is.
Interestingly, Reba and Rex have known each other since the ’90s, but it wasn’t until the pandemic that they reconnected—and this time, something just clicked. Reba has called Rex “the one who makes me feel the most like me,” and Rex? He’s been all in, proudly telling reporters, “I’ve loved her for a long, long time. Now I love her in the deepest way.”
While they haven’t shared a wedding date just yet, sources say it’s likely to be an intimate, ranch-side celebration filled with family, nature, and heartfelt moments—just like their love story.
Here’s to Reba and Rex—proof that it’s never too late to find the one who truly gets you.
