The news broke like wildfire over the weekend: Reba McEntire is officially engaged! The country music icon — beloved for her powerhouse voice, down-to-earth humor, and timeless grace — confirmed that she’s saying “yes” to her longtime love, actor Rex Linn, after a heart-melting proposal that took place right at their Texas ranch.
According to sources close to the couple, the moment was as real and romantic as Reba herself. On a quiet evening walk across their property, surrounded by open fields and the soft glow of sunset, Rex stopped, took her hand, and said the words she never expected to hear again: “Will you marry me?”
Reba, visibly emotional, said yes through happy tears — and later laughed that she “almost dropped the ring in the grass.” The stunning piece, a vintage-style diamond ring chosen by Rex himself, has already become a symbol of their story: classic, honest, and full of light.
The announcement quickly swept across social media, with country stars from Dolly Parton to Carrie Underwood sending their love and congratulations. Fans flooded Reba’s pages with messages like “She deserves every bit of happiness!” and “A love story straight out of a country song.”
For Reba, this engagement represents more than romance — it’s renewal. After years of balancing an incredible career with heartbreak, loss, and reinvention, she’s found something beautifully steady. “Rex makes me laugh every day,” she recently told People. “He’s my best friend. He’s my partner. And he’s the calm in my storm.”
The couple first met decades ago on a film set, but reconnected during the pandemic, sharing long phone calls, home-cooked dinners, and a friendship that blossomed naturally into love. “We started with laughter,” Reba said. “And that’s still what keeps us together.”
Insiders hint that the pair are planning a small, private ceremony later this year, likely at the same ranch where he proposed. “No Hollywood glitz,” one friend said. “Just family, friends, and music under the Texas sky.”
As the world cheers this long-awaited moment, Reba’s fans agree on one thing: love looks beautiful on her.
Because after decades of giving her heart to the world through song, Reba McEntire has finally found the melody meant just for her.
