Country music royalty Reba McEntire has announced she is to marry her beloved partner, actor Rex Linn, sending waves of excitement through her legion of fans. The multi-award-winning singer shared her joyous news during a recent appearance on stage, revealing the romantic details of the proposal.
The couple, who have been together for four years, got engaged in a deeply personal and intimate setting. McEntire recounted how Linn, best known for his role in CSI: Miami, proposed to her on a quiet, ordinary morning. "We were sitting in bed, I was scrolling through Instagram, and he said, 'What do you think?'" she shared, describing the beautifully understated moment.
Linn presented the country star with a stunning, custom-designed ring featuring a glittering yellow diamond. McEntire could not contain her happiness, stating, "I said, 'Yes! This is fantastic!'". She went on to gush about her fiancé, calling him a "great, great guy" and emphasising how their relationship is built on a foundation of laughter and mutual respect.
A Love That Bloomed During Lockdown
Their romance began under unique circumstances. They first met on the set of McEntire's television show Reba over two decades ago but reconnected in 2020. Their love story truly began to blossom during the global pandemic, a time they spent getting to know each other deeply while isolated together.
McEntire has been openly smitten with Linn, often referring to him by his nickname, "Sugar." She has frequently credited him for bringing immense joy and stability into her life following her previous divorce. This engagement marks the fourth for McEntire and the first for Linn.
Future Plans and Overwhelming Support
While the loved-up pair are reveling in their engagement bliss, details about the wedding are still under wraps. McEntire confirmed they are in no rush to plan the big day, preferring to simply enjoy this special chapter.
The announcement has been met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow celebrities alike, all thrilled to see the beloved singer so content in her personal life. This engagement solidifies one of the most cherished love stories in country music, proving that sometimes the best things are worth waiting for.
