Reba McEntire is blissfully in love with her boyfriend, Rex Linn.
The happy couple have been dating for years but still seem very much in the honeymoon phase.
They often talk about their mutual admiration for one another and share glimpses into their private life.
The pair obviously doesn’t need expensive dates or elaborate trips to have fun.
They enjoy simple things such as self-care days and fried food.
Linn often pampers his girlfriend with a drink, back rubs, and conversations when she returns home.
She calls him Sugar Tot.
They’re “The Tots.”
Naturally, the next stage in their relationship might be marriage.
Linn and McEntire Met Decades Before Dating
McEntire knew that her new accessory would cause some buzz.
The ET interviewer then brought up her own upcoming nuptials.
“You know I’m planning a wedding… am I still the only one planning a wedding?”
McEntire jovially responded, “Yes, you are.”
They became friends and saw each other throughout the years.
However, things didn’t turn romantic until 2020.
They’ve “been inseparable ever since,” McEntire proclaimed on “Watch What Happens Live.”
A look at their social media activity confirms this.
They often share photos as they hang out, go on dates, and take vacations together.
Though McEntire is very much in love, she’s in no rush to tie the knot.
The ball is firmly in Linn’s court.
“I told him if he wanted to get married, that’s up to him totally.
He doesn’t seem pressured one way or the other.
We get along so well.
We have fun,” she explained.
However, McEntire understands the stress and pressure that comes with that level of commitment.
She married her first husband, Charlie Battles, in 1976.
Their marriage officially ended in 1987.
McEntire met Battles, a competitive steer wrestling champion, when she was still a teenager.
Battles was 10 years older and married when they met in the rodeo scene.
He eventually divorced his first wife and began romancing McEntire.
He became hostile as she rose to stardom.
Battles also made McEntire’s work life difficult.
She married her second husband, Narvel Blackstock, in 1989.
They met in 1980 when Blackstock was the steel guitarist in McEntire’s band.
Their work relationship grew into friendship, which later developed into romance.
Blackstock eventually became her manager.
Blackstock and McEntire still work together.
