At 70 years old, Reba McEntire is proving once again that she doesn’t follow trends — she sets them. The country legend and her fiancé, actor Rex Linn, just opened up about their long-awaited wedding plans, and to everyone’s surprise, it’s the anti-Hollywood wedding that fans didn’t see coming.
While most celebrity couples plan lavish ceremonies filled with designer gowns, A-list guests, and choreographed moments, Reba and Rex are doing the exact opposite. “We don’t want anything big or fancy,” Reba admitted with a laugh. “We just want it to be ours — simple, honest, and full of love.”
Instead of a glitzy venue, the couple revealed they plan to exchange vows somewhere deeply personal — likely on their Tennessee property, surrounded by the quiet beauty of the countryside. No red carpet, no orchestra, no camera crews — just the sound of the wind through the trees and the people who mean the most to them.
Rex, known for his roles in CSI: Miami and Young Sheldon, said the goal is to keep the day as real as possible. “We’re not doing a production,” he shared. “We’re doing a promise. We want it to feel like us — two people who found each other later in life and just want to celebrate that.”
Reba also revealed that her wedding dress won’t be a traditional white gown. “It’ll be something comfortable,” she teased. “Something I can actually dance in!” She and Rex are reportedly planning a relaxed backyard-style reception, complete with home-cooked food, acoustic music, and maybe even a few surprise performances from close friends in the country music family.
When asked who might sing at the wedding, Reba smiled and said, “Oh, we’ll have music — but it’ll be the kind that comes from the heart, not the charts.”
Fans online were quick to react, calling it “the most Reba thing ever.” One wrote, “She’s redefining what a wedding should be — love, laughter, and no spotlight needed.” Another added, “Only Reba could make a simple country wedding sound like the most romantic thing in the world.”
The couple’s love story has been one of the most heartwarming in recent country memory. After reconnecting during the pandemic, Reba and Rex found comfort and joy in their shared faith, humor, and down-to-earth bond. “He’s my best friend,” Reba said. “He makes every day brighter. And if this is how the rest of my life looks, I’m happy.”
As their big day approaches, one thing’s clear — Reba McEntire and Rex Linn aren’t chasing the glamour of Hollywood. They’re chasing something rarer: authentic love, real joy, and a lifetime of laughter under the Tennessee sky.
