Reba McEntire has announced her engagement to long-time partner Rex Linn. This revelation follows the recent passing of her stepson, Brandon Blackstock. The 70-year-old, known for her appearances on The Voice US alongside Niall Horan and Michael Buble, made the engagement public while attending the Emmy Awards with Linn.
During the event, Rex was introduced as Reba’s fiancé, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. While discussing their joint involvement in the sitcom “Happy’s Place,” Reba neither confirmed nor denied their engagement when conversing with Zuri Hall.
The couple’s relationship dates back to 1991 when they starred together in The Gambler, but it wasn’t until 2020, on the set of Young Sheldon, that their romantic connection blossomed. Reba has openly expressed her affection for Rex and her openness to marriage, despite having been married twice before.
Previously, Reba was married to Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015, with whom she shares ties to Brandon, who tragically passed away in early August after a battle with cancer. At the Emmy Awards, Reba performed a tribute to The Golden Girls alongside Karen Farechild and Kimberly Schlapman, culminating in presenting the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award.
Hannah Einbinder of Hacks claimed the award and utilized her acceptance speech to express support for her favorite sports team, criticize the American immigration enforcement agency, and advocate for a free Palestine.
