Country music legend Reba McEntire, 70, and actor Rex Linn, 68, subtly announced their engagement at the 2025 Emmy Awards. E! News referred to them as fiancés during an interview, to which the couple, dating since 2020, nodded in confirmation. Their relationship blossomed after Linn's support during a difficult time for McEntire in 2020. The happy news follows McEntire's recent grieving of her former stepson, Brandon Blackstock, who passed away in August. McEntire and Linn, co-stars on NBC's Happy's Place, have expressed their deep affection and friendship.
