How It All Began: Dinner and Quarantine Conversations
Reba recounted how their relationship began with a casual dinner in January 2020. But when the world went into lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Rex and Reba found themselves bonding through text messages, phone calls, and even FaceTime. "It's been such a blast," Reba gushed, explaining that these virtual hangouts have been a great way to get to know each other deeply. "It's wonderful to have someone to laugh with, to talk to, and to share thoughts about what's going on in the world," she added.
Reba and Rex have been diving into all sorts of topics, from their pasts to their families, and even swapping funny stories about their careers. "He's really into my music, and I'm a huge fan of his work," Reba shared. "It's amazing to talk to someone who's so interesting, funny, and smart, and who's genuinely interested in me too."
Reba's Take on Dating: Quality Over Quantity
Reba emphasized the importance of being selective when it comes to dating. "I think it's very important to choose your partners wisely," she said. But when it comes to Rex, she made an exception. "He's very special," Reba said with a warm smile. "I don't mind sharing details of my private life with him because he's that kind of guy—a sweetheart of a guy."
This new chapter in Reba's love life comes almost a year after her split with Skeeter Lasuzzo. The "Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" singer ended her two-year romance with the wildlife photographer because their lifestyles just didn't align. "Reba's busy Hollywood schedule and Skeeter's retired way of life weren't a good fit," an insider told Closer Weekly at the time. Despite their love for each other, their differing routines "just didn't mesh very well," the source explained. "At the end of the day, they decided it wasn't a match made in heaven, as they both initially thought. The breakup was amicable."
