Reba McEntire and Rex Linn’s love story began in 2020 when they reconnected after knowing each other for years. They met on the set of Kenny Rogers’ movie, forming a friendship. Their romance blossomed in January 2020 when they went out to dinner during Reba’s visit to film Young Sheldon. COVID-19 kept them apart temporarily, but they reconnected in summer 2020 and have been inseparable since.
They have cute nicknames for each other: “Tater Tot” and “Sugar Tot.” Rex bestowed Reba’s nickname after a memorable dinner moment. They’ve acted together in projects like Big Sky and The Hammer, expressing joy in working together.
Marriage talk isn’t off the table. Reba, who’s been married twice before, leaves the decision to Rex, who’s never been married. They’ve discussed it and even joked about holding multiple ceremonies due to their extensive social circle. Whether they wed or not, their love is evident, with Reba calling Rex “the love of my life.”
