Country music icon Reba McEntire has never been one to shy away from honesty—and in a stunning red carpet reveal, she opened up about what truly makes her relationship with longtime friend-turned-love Rex Linn work like magic. And let’s just say: it’s all about boots, cattle, and cowboy grit.
💬 “We love Longhorns. We love the cowboy way of life,” Reba told Fox News Digital ahead of hosting the 2025 ACM Awards. “He’s a better cook than I am… and we argue a lot—but we have fun doing that too!” she laughed.
But what really has fans in a frenzy is what came next. When asked if marriage is on the table, Reba didn’t hold back:
“You never know… Absolutely, hope so one day.”
Yes, you read that right. The Queen of Country might be headed for a real-life fairytale ending—cowboy-style.
Their love story goes back to 1991, but the spark didn’t ignite until 2020 when they reconnected virtually during the pandemic. What began as phone calls and text messages blossomed into an unbreakable bond that neither of them expected.
💬 “We didn’t get to see each other for months,” Reba shared. “But the distance helped us build intimacy… it was very special.”
Since then, the couple has been inseparable, even working together on Reba’s upcoming sitcom “Happy’s Place.” And with her career thriving, her heart full, and her cowboy by her side, Reba says she’s never felt stronger.
“Once you’re confident in your love life, your at-home life… then you can go out and conquer the world.”
With 32 albums, 3 Grammys, 16 ACM Awards, and a legacy as the Queen of Country, Reba McEntire just proved she’s still got one more love song to write—this time, in real life.
The cowboy love story we never saw coming… and it might just end with wedding bells. 💍🔥
Stay tuned—the 2025 ACM Awards air Thursday on Amazon Prime from Frisco, Texas. Don’t miss Reba owning the stage… and possibly stealing hearts too.
