Country music icon Reba McEntire is engaged to actor Rex Linn following a romantic journey that began in friendship decades ago and blossomed into love in recent years. The long-time couple confirmed the engagement during the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet, after five years of dating.
Reba and Rex first crossed paths in 1991 while working on the movie The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw. Their relationship deepened in 2020 after reconnecting during a difficult period following the passing of Reba’s mother. As they shared moments during the pandemic, the two grew inseparable.
The announcement came with subtle clarity: during a red carpet interview a reporter referred to Rex as Reba’s fiancé and the pair smiled in affirmation. No formal statement was immediately issued beyond that moment, though representatives later confirmed the news.
This new chapter comes amid Reba’s work on the sitcom Happy’s Place, in which Rex also appears. The two have shared professional and personal milestones while balancing individual careers. Their engagement points to a hopeful future built on years of closeness and mutual support.
