Reba McEntire was married twice and has dated several men in her life, but her current relationship status is not widely known. Just as musicians have always done, throughout these relationships, McEntire has used all her heartbreak to make music,

But the country artist's heart may be running out of melancholy tunes. While we can't say she has a diamond ring on her finger, her romance with boyfriend Rex Linn proves just as romantic and sturdy as any healthy marriage. Unlike McEntire, Linn was never married, but he and Renee DeRese were engaged in 2010.

"Narvel was her protector, her business partner, and manager, and it was really tough on her. She had no idea it was coming...She felt sorry for herself for about a month, but then she snapped out of it."

Is Sanaa Lathan Dating Anyone?

While people have wondered if McEntire was married, many are just as invested in whether Sanaa Lathan is dating someone. The summarized answer is no -- She has stated that she wants to ensure she devotes enough time to her growth as an individual before looking for a partner.

Speaking about romance in general, Lathan holds a critical view of what women are taught from a young age. She believes that the magical fantasies society sells to little girls, such as "Cinderella" or "Snow White," are unhealthy.

Lathan believes it sends the message that women need a man to feel like winners. However, she states that a woman's self-confidence should come from inside and not outside, so she prefers to put herself first.

She also pointed to the failure of relationships, especially the high divorce rate, stating that it seems like a waste of time to put so much into something that will eventually collapse. However, Lathan is not a complete cynic and still believes in love --- just with one eye open.
