Reba McEntire’s Humble Son Shares Love Message to His Beloved Wife – Mom Is Proud of Him

• Reba McEntire didn't want to raise a spoiled child — now she has a humble son who respects family values.

• "I'm very proud of him," Reba said about her son, being very close to him.

Reba McEntire, a famous country singer and the star of her self-titled sitcom, has built a wonderful life. She raised children and made a success of her career in Hollywood, but had strict morals throughout.

McEntire has talked about her son and the values that she raised him with. Doing so has made her proud. She is now close to her son as his career has slowed down considerably in recent years.

McEntire was raised in Chockie, Oklahoma. Her parents raised her with humility and respect. Also known as The Queen of Country, McEntire said it was important to her that she raised her child the same way.

Shelby Blackstock, McEntire's son, was brought into the world in 1990 by his mother and his father, Narvel Blackstock. Blackstock and McEntire were married at the time, but their relationship did not last.

McEntire said she raised her son respectfully and joked that when she played games with him, she would never let him win. She said:

"I always told Shelby, 'I'll always love you, but I want other people to like you, so don't be a little jerk. Don't be a spoiled brat."

The songstress remained steadfast in her bid to raise a child that would become a good man, and it paid off. She now says she is "very proud" of her son because of the strides he has made personally and professionally.

McEntire said that when her son was growing up, he had difficulty in school because he had ADHD and could never focus long enough to read a book. Yet, in his adult years, he reads more books than most.

Her son is now a 32-year-old man, and McEntire had joked that she has no control over her son anymore as she can no longer spank him or send him to his room. She also raised her ex-husband's children and said that despite them getting older, she was fond of every age they went through together.

Their blended family was great for some years before the divorce. Talking about the relationship she shares with her son now that he is a grown man forging his own path, McEntire said:

"It's one of those things where we are friends. We're best friends, and that's so special."

McEntire's son is now making a name for himself as a racing driver, and she shared that she goes to see him as often as possible. The family are no strangers to the limelight and have taken well to her son rising in stardom.

McEntire and Her Humble Son Are Close: Now He Has His Own Family

While McEntire and her son share an incredible bond, he has also built a beautiful bond with his wife, Marissa Blackstock. McEntire's son and daughter-in-law often show one another off on social media, and at the beginning of this month, McEntire's daughter-in-law shared a snap of the pair.

The photo shows the couple sitting down together as he drapes his arm around his wife's. She wears a matching blouse and headband, while he is dressed casually in a gray golf shirt.

The caption of the post contained some of the lyrics from Clinton Kane's song, "I Guess I'm In Love." Many fans commented on the post, saying how beautiful a couple they were and that they wished them many happy years together.

McEntire's daughter-in-law tagged the location of the photo as Quintana Roo in Cancún, and the couple appears to be on a boat in the picture. There are many other happy snaps of the pair on Blackstock's wife's page and some on his too.

McEntire's son and daughter-in-law wed in February 2022 and will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary next month. They tied the knot at Disney World, which is also where he proposed over New Year in 2020.

Videos from the event showed Blackstock and his mother during their mother-son dance. McEntire wore a floor-length black gown, and Blackstock looked dapper in his wedding suit. They danced to McEntire's song, "You're Always Going To Be Loved by Me."

Shelby Accepted McEntire's Happiness with Rex After Her Divorce from His Dad

In 2015, McEntire and her ex-husband decided that their marriage was no longer working, and they needed to divorce. A source close to the couple at the time said they had been separated for several months.

While they announced their divorce, they said they would remain close and would still work together as Blackstock was McEntire's manager. One statement confirmed:

"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they continue to support each other. They have worked together for 35 years and will continue to do so. They have asked that you respect their privacy during this time."

The couple stayed true to their word and remained close even though McEntire found happiness with Rex Linn following the emotionally difficult split.

McEntire's son came to accept that although his parents were no longer married, they were still close and had found lasting happiness. At his wedding last year, it was apparent that there was no bad blood within the family.

A source close to the family talked about the wedding and the dynamics between McEntire and Blackstock, saying that it was a fantastic event. The source shared:

"Everyone was in close proximity, but it felt like a happy family event. Nobody created any awkwardness."

McEntire and Linn have been together for quite some time now, and sources close to the couple have said that they have been inseparable since they began dating. Their future seems to be bright. McEntire once gushed:

"It's good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what's going on. Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress. And he's very into my music. I'm very into his career."

We wish McEntire and Linn, as well as her son and daughter-in-law, nothing but love, health, and happiness in their future. What a beautiful, blended family.
