Reba McEntire<\/strong><\/a> always gushes about boyfriend<\/a> Rex Linn<\/strong>, and many fans can\u2019t get enough of their sweet love. But who exactly is the country singer\u2019s man, and when did their relationship begin?<\/p>\n Rex is a film and TV actor from Texas, although he moved to Oklahoma as a young teen, according to multiple reports. He is most known for playing Sgt. Frank Tripp in CSI: Miami<\/em>, as well as Principal Petersen in Young Sheldon<\/em> and Buck Barnes in Big Sky<\/em>. In the film industry, Rex is known for his roles in Rush Hour<\/em>, Cliffhanger<\/em>, Cutthroat Island<\/em> and Wyatt Earp<\/em>.<\/p>\n Rex is notoriously private about his love life, but he was reportedly previously engaged<\/a> to Renee DeRese<\/strong> in 2010.<\/p>\n Though Reba and Rex only started dating in 2020, their first meeting happened years prior. The two first crossed paths on Kenny Rogers<\/strong>\u2019 The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Dra<\/em>w in 1991, and they later reunited on Young Sheldon<\/em> when Reba guest starred as June.<\/p>\n \u201cWe kept in contact over the years, we both know the same people,\u201d the Reba star explained on Watch What Happens Live<\/em>. \u201cSo it was just like good friends getting back together and having dinner \u2026 then we started texting and talking on the telephone and getting to know each other better during the quarantine.\u201d<\/p>\n Rex posted a photo with Reba online in January 2020, although it wasn\u2019t clear at the time if they were dating. Then, the country musician confirmed the relationship in October that year, revealing that they had been together for six months.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve been talking,\u201d she said of Rex during her \u201cLiving & Learning\u201d podcast. \u201c[He\u2019s] very interesting, very funny [and] very smart. It\u2019s good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what\u2019s going on. Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress. And he\u2019s very into my music. I\u2019m very into his career.\u201d<\/p>\n A source told Closer Weekly<\/em><\/a> that month that Reba and Rex were \u201chead over heels in love\u201d already.<\/p>\n \u201cReba can\u2019t remember feeling so strongly about a man,\u201d the insider shared. \u201cShe is absolutely smitten by Rex and thinks he\u2019s just fabulous and such a sweetheart. She describes him as a breath of fresh air and gets butterflies whenever she hears his voice.\u201d<\/p>\n Reba and Rex are still going strong as of January 2024, but will they walk down the aisle anytime soon? The \u201cI\u2019m a Survivor\u201d hitmaker \u2014 who was previously married to Charlie Battles<\/strong> from 1976 to 1987 and Narvel Blackstock<\/strong><\/a> from 1989 to 2015 \u2014 revealed in November 2023 that she\u2019s ready to tie the knot again. However, she\u2019s leaving the decision up to him.<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018If you want to, that\u2019s fine with me.\u2019 I\u2019ve been married twice. He\u2019s never been married. So if he wants to, that\u2019s totally up to him,\u201d Reba shared during another Watch What Happens Live<\/em> appearance. \u201cWe\u2019ve talked about [getting married] and giggled about it. We thought, \u2018Man, if we ever did have a ceremony, we would have to have a 2 o\u2019clock, 4 o\u2019clock, 6 o\u2019clock and an 8 o\u2019clock because we have so many friends, acquaintances and family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Reba McEntire\u2019s Boyfriend Rex Linn?<\/h2>\n
