Actress, singer, and The Voice coach, Reba McEntire, is officially engaged to her boyfriend of five years, Rex Linn. The two star together on NBC’s hit series, Happy’s Place, and began their romance in 2020. So, when did this all happen? Keep reading for more details.
Reba McEntire Engaged To Rex Linn After 5 Years
It has been a long time coming, and fans have wondered if Reba McEntire will marry Rex Linn. The two have been together since 2020 and are very happy. Moreover, they share the screen on NBC’s Happy’s Place, which will return for Season 2. Their characters are being set up for a possible romance, so it is life imitating art. Reba has been immensely busy as a coach on The Voice, plus commercials and her singing career. Yet, she and Rex have long been rumored to be getting married. Now, that rumor is a reality as the two stars are officially engaged.
They had long been friends, for decades in fact, but nothing was romantic until five years ago. She had been married to Charles Battles from 1976 to 1987. Reba then moved on with Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015. Together, Reba and Narvel had one son, plus she was the stepmother to his late son, Brandon, who was married to Kelly Clarkson. However, timing was everything when Rex and Reba started a romance, and at the 2025 Emmy Awards, they were officially referred to as “fiances.” This occurred on September 14th, 2025, but the details of the engagement are still private.
Rex Linn was there for Reba McEntire when her mother passed away, and that helped them connect romantically. She has noted how they never left each other’s sides after that, and now, they are able to work together on a regular basis. Happy’s Place became an overnight sensation for NBC, and it has only made their love stronger. She is also an on-and-off coach on The Voice, where she is a fan favorite.
A Happy Celebration
Fans of Reba McEntire are thrilled that she is getting her happy ending. They have seen her highs and lows, and she always praises Rex Linn for being there. Finally, she will get to walk to the aisle with this incredible person, and her followers could not be happier:
- Congrats to the happy couple.
- Congratulations!!🎈🍾🎊 You are an amazing couple! Love you both so much!
- They are precious
Now, some fans did not see a ring on Reba’s finger, so they are still suspicious about whether this is true or not. Regardless, it is great to see them going strong. A new season of Happy’s Place premieres on November 7th, so maybe an announcement will be made then.
