The Beginning of Reba and Rex’s Connection
The sweet love story of Reba McEntire and Rex Linn sprouted long before they officially became a couple. Their first encounter dates back to 1991 when they co-starred in the film “The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw.” At that time, Reba was married to Narvel Blackstock, with whom she shares her son, Shelby.
Years passed, and after the ending of Reba’s marriage in 2015, fate had a splendid plan for the two. In 2020, their paths crossed again over a casual dinner, and it quickly blossomed into something extraordinary. Rex even shared their delightful reunion on Instagram, marking the beginning of their delightful venture as a couple. From that moment, they became inseparable, sharing their love openly both online and in real life.
Their relationship isn’t confined to just their private lives; Reba and Rex have joined forces professionally as well. They have teamed up for NBC’s “Happy’s Place,” where Reba stars as Bonnie and Rex takes on the role of Emmett. Their partnership continues to grow both romantically and professionally, showing their wonderful chemistry on screen and off.
As Reba and Rex mark their fifth anniversary, fans are filled with joy and admiration, eager to follow their journey filled with love, laughter, and perhaps even more “tater tots.” For this charming couple, the journey has just begun, and there are undoubtedly many beautiful chapters ahead.
