In September 2025, fans around the world erupted with joy when it was officially confirmed that Reba McEntire and Rex Linn are engaged after five wonderful years together. But the real surprise? Rex had already proposed nine months earlier — and the couple managed to keep it completely under wraps until now.
According to sources close to the pair, Rex popped the question during a quiet evening at their Tennessee ranch — no cameras, no crowds, just the two of them, a homemade dinner, and a simple ring that spoke louder than any spotlight ever could.
“It wasn’t about making headlines,” a close friend revealed. “It was about making a promise — in their own time, in their own way.”
The country music icon and the actor, who first met decades ago but rekindled their relationship in 2020, have been inseparable ever since. Fans have adored their humor, warmth, and unmistakable chemistry — both on and off screen.
Reba, who has always cherished her privacy despite her global fame, reportedly wanted to keep the engagement quiet so she and Rex could savor the moment before the world found out.
“They’ve built something real,” another insider shared. “After everything Reba’s been through, this feels like the beginning of her happiest chapter yet.”
Though the date for the wedding hasn’t been announced, one thing is certain — for Reba McEntire, love has finally found its forever stage.
And this time, the spotlight feels exactly where it belongs — not on the fame, but on the heart.
