In a stunning turn of events that has country music fans and Hollywood insiders buzzing, Reba McEntire and Rex Linn have officially tied the knot — and they did it in true Reba fashion: quietly, beautifully, and straight from the heart.
Sources close to the couple confirm that the beloved country icon and her longtime partner exchanged vows during an intimate sunset ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, surrounded by close family and a handful of lifelong friends. The ceremony, described as “simple but breathtaking,” took place on a private villa terrace overlooking the still waters of the lake — a setting straight out of a country love song.
Reba, 70, wore an elegant ivory gown with lace detailing, while Rex, her “Sugar Tot,” as she affectionately calls him, kept things classic in a tailored black suit. But the most emotional moment came midway through the ceremony — when Reba paused before reading her vows and whispered, “I didn’t think I’d find love like this again.”
According to guests, there wasn’t a dry eye in sight. “It was quiet, sacred — you could feel every word she said,” one attendee shared. “It wasn’t about fame or spotlight. It was about grace, gratitude, and second chances.”
After the ceremony, the newlyweds shared their first dance to Reba’s timeless ballad “Forever Love.” As the song played, the evening sky turned gold, and a small choir began to hum softly along the lakeside — a surprise planned by Rex himself.
When the music ended, Rex leaned in and whispered something that made Reba laugh through her tears: “Looks like you’ve got a new duet partner for life.”
Friends say the couple plans to host a small celebration back home in Texas later this year, but for now, they’re simply enjoying the peace and joy of newlywed life. “Reba has never looked happier,” said one close friend. “After all she’s given to the world — her music, her kindness, her heart — it’s beautiful to see her get that same love back.”
As news of the secret wedding spread, fans flooded social media with messages of love and admiration, calling it “the most heartwarming news of the year.”
And maybe it is. Because for Reba McEntire, the Queen of Country who has sung about heartbreak, hope, and home for half a century — this chapter feels like the perfect encore.
Not a grand finale.
But a new beginning — written under the Italian sun, sealed with forever love.
