Reba McEntire Feels "Devastated" Over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Relationship
There's a lot going on in the world of celebrity romances, and Reba McEntire is definitely keeping tabs. In a recent interview with TODAY.com, the legendary country music star opened up about her feelings regarding Taylor Swift's relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. And let me tell you, she's not exactly thrilled about it. "Oh, my gosh, I am so mad at her because I had a crush on him," Reba admitted, adding, "Now I can’t have a crush anymore because he’s dating her." Can you blame her? Who wouldn't want to root for a little football romance?
Reba's Humorous Take on Losing Her "Boyfriend"
Reba, now 68, humorously referred to Travis as her "boyfriend that cheated on" her. Of course, she's not taking it too seriously—she's just having a little fun with it. But let's not forget, Reba is a huge fan of the Chiefs and their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Watching football games at home with her boyfriend, Rex Linn, is one of her favorite ways to unwind. "We were watching him play because I love the Chiefs and I love Patrick, and I’d say, ‘Oh, he’s so cute. Oh, he’s so cute,’” she recalled with a laugh. It sounds like a pretty sweet way to spend an evening.
Inside Reba and Rex's Playful Relationship
Rex, 66, loves to tease Reba about her little crushes on football players, but it's all in good fun. In fact, it's one of the reasons their relationship is so light-hearted and easygoing. When Travis and Taylor started dating, Rex couldn't resist pointing out, "Your boyfriend’s got another girlfriend." Reba's response? "Rub it in," she playfully shot back. It's clear that their bond is built on humor and mutual affection.

Reba's Real Love: Rex Linn
While Reba might joke about having other "boyfriends," there's no denying that Rex Linn holds the key to her heart. The couple first went public with their relationship in October 2020, and since then, they've been practically inseparable. "He’s a very supportive man, I love him with all my heart," Reba gushed to People in a recent interview. It's clear that Rex is more than just a partner—he's her rock.
Since meeting over three years ago, Reba and Rex have become a power couple, making countless red carpet appearances together. Despite her busy schedule, which has only grown busier since she joined season 24 of The Voice as a coach, Rex always finds ways to make sure she feels cared for. "Rex meets me at the garage when I get out of the car," Reba explained. "He’ll fix me a drink if I need it. He’ll sit there and talk to me because I’ve talked my head off all day long so he knows I just need to relax and chill." Now, that's what I call a supportive partner.
Adorable Nicknames Between Reba and Rex
And if all that wasn't cute enough, Reba and Rex have their own set of adorable nicknames for each other. Rex, the CSI alum, lovingly refers to her as "Tater Tot," while the "I’m a Survivor" singer calls him "Sugar Tot." These sweet monikers were revealed just weeks ago to The Voice viewers, proving that their relationship is filled with warmth and affection. Who knew football games, late-night chats, and playful teasing could lead to such a heartwarming love story?
