It’s time to celebrate love, folks! Reba McEntire and her beau, Rex Linn, are proving that true love doesn’t have an expiration date. The country music icon and the talented actor are marking an incredible five years together with a sweet photo that has fans swooning.

The Story Behind Those Adorable Nicknames

For those who may not know, “Tater Tot” is the sweet nickname Rex, 68, gave Reba early in their relationship. And let’s just say it’s a story worth hearing. Reba recounted how it all began during one of their many delightful nights out. “We went to dinner one evening and later decided to stop by a wine bar,” she shared. “When we asked about appetizers, the waiter told us they had tater tots. I immediately raised my hand, and Rex said, ‘That’s it. From now on, you’re Tater Tot.’”

Fans Are Rooting for Their Happily Ever After

Since they were first spotted together in early 2020, fans have been cheering for Reba and Rex’s relationship. And while marriage hasn’t been on the table yet, Reba has opened up about the possibility. Speaking to E! News in April 2024, she said, “If Rex feels strongly about getting married, that’s fine with me. He’s never been married before, so if he wants to experience that, I’m completely open to it.”

Reba’s openness and authenticity make her even more endearing to her fans. Whether or not they take the next step, it’s clear that their love is built on trust, respect, and laughter—a foundation that’s hard to beat.

Reba’s journey in love isn’t new to her fans. She was previously married to Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987 and Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015, with whom she shares her son, Shelby Blackstock. But today, it’s all about Rex, and their dynamic is nothing short of magical.

From Screen to Reality: A Perfect Partnership

Reba and Rex aren’t just making waves off-screen; they’re also stealing hearts on-screen in “Happy’s Place.” The duo brings their chemistry to life in every episode, proving that their connection extends far beyond personal life.

“I’ve got two great jobs. I have a love of my life, Rex Linn,” Reba told Us Weekly in October 2024. “We’ve been together for almost five years. And my health is good, his health is good. My family is healthy. What more could I ask for?”

When asked about their relationship, Reba couldn’t help but gush. “Rex and I are best friends,” she revealed. “We have the same likes and dislikes. We’re foodies. We love to cook. We each wanted to be a cowboy and a cowgirl, but life took us into the entertainment business instead. Our dynamic works beautifully on and off-screen.”

A Peek Into Their Everyday Lives

When they’re not working, Reba and Rex enjoy spending quality time together. “It depends if there’s a college football game on,” Reba explained. “If so, we’ll be glued to the television watching football. If not, we’re rehearsing or going outside to feed the birds and water the rose garden. We just love being together.”

Reba also reflected on how Rex has changed her life. “I think we’ve made each other better people,” she said. “Rex brings out the little girl in me, and I have fun. I’m dorky, I’m goofy—he is too. We love to laugh, and we love each other. We both love watching television. We’re always on the lookout for a new series or movie to watch. Right now, we’re streaming ‘The Penguin.’”
