Love is in the air for one of country music’s biggest icons. Reba McEntire and her longtime beau Rex Linn are officially engaged after five years of dating, and they couldn’t have picked a more Hollywood way to let the world know. The couple hit the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards when a fan called them “fiancés,” and sure enough, PEOPLE confirmed that there’s a wedding on the horizon.
Reba, 70, and Rex, 68, go way back. They first met in the ‘90s but reconnected in 2020 during the pandemic. After Reba lost her mom, she and Rex grew close, spending hours talking, laughing, and leaning on each other through tough times. From there, the friendship blossomed into a love story that’s still going strong.
These days, they’re not just partners in life, they’re co-stars on the sitcom Happy’s Place. Reba has said they “get along in every aspect,” though she’ll admit Rex has her beat in the kitchen. She also gushes about how much fun they have together whether it’s being silly, sharing their love of the cowboy life, or just enjoying each other’s company.
For fans, it’s sweet to see Reba find joy and partnership again, and it’s even sweeter knowing that her love story proves it’s never too late for happily ever after. Congrats to the future Mr. and Mrs. from all of us here in Texas!
