Reba McEntire, the queen of country music, recently lit up the red carpet on December 4, ahead of the first live episode of The Voice, wearing a dazzling diamond ring on her left ring finger. This simple yet striking accessory quickly sparked rumors that she might be engaged to her boyfriend, Rex Linn. Fans couldn’t help but speculate about the potential engagement, especially since Reba didn’t shy away from the attention.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 68-year-old singer joked about the buzz surrounding the ring. “I just found it,” she said with a laugh. Reba admitted that she was playing a little game with the media and her fans. She confided in her brand manager, Leslie Matthews Duggar, saying, “I told Leslie, ‘I’m gonna put something over here, just let everybody talk about it.’” It was all part of her fun-loving approach to life and her relationship with Rex.
Now, here’s the twist: Reba didn’t leave the ring on during the live show. She took it off to ensure that viewers at home wouldn’t get a clear look at the bauble. It’s almost like she wanted to keep everyone guessing and maintain the mystery. And let’s face it, that’s part of the charm of Reba McEntire—keeping us on our toes!

Reba's Thoughts on Marriage
Reba has been open about her desire to tie the knot again, but she’s also realistic about the situation. In an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in October, she explained her perspective on marriage. “I said, ‘If you want to, that’s fine with me,’” she revealed, referring to Rex. Reba has been married twice before, while Rex has never walked down the aisle. So, if marriage is in the cards, the decision ultimately rests with him.
Reba and Rex have discussed the possibility of a wedding and even joked about the logistics. “We thought, ‘Man, if we ever did have a ceremony, we would have to have a 2 o’clock, 4 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and an 8 o’clock because we have so many friends, acquaintances, and family,’” she shared. It’s clear that Reba is not only ready for marriage but also prepared for the grand event it would undoubtedly be.
The Journey of Reba and Rex
Reba and Rex’s story is one of love that blossomed over time. They first crossed paths on the set of the 1991 movie The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, but it wasn’t until June 2020 that their friendship turned into a romantic relationship. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, and Reba has fondly referred to Rex as “the love of [her] life.”
Back when Reba first met Rex, she was married to her second husband, music manager Narvel Blackstock. Reba and Narvel tied the knot in 1989 and were together for 26 years before divorcing in 2015. The couple shares a son, Shelby Blackstock, who Reba proudly calls her “best accomplishment.” When Shelby turned 33 in February, Reba celebrated by sharing a heartfelt post on Instagram, filled with photos of her son.
Reba’s first marriage was to rodeo star Charlie Battles, whom she wed in 1976. At the time, Reba was just starting to make a name for herself in the music industry. By the 1980s, she was winning major awards, including the Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year for four consecutive years. However, the demands of her career eventually took a toll on her marriage, and the couple divorced in 1987.
