White House Correspondents' Dinner Turns Chaotic – Donald Trump Reacts, Details Emerge
April 27, 2026

Reba McEntire may have turned 68 recently, but the musician certainly doesn't feel it. The "Does He Love You" singer appeared on the "Jennifer Hudson Show," where she spoke about her most recent relationship with the actor Rex Linn.
Although McEntire and Linn only recently started dating, the two have known each other for years. They initially met in 1991 on the set of the film "The Gambler." They reconnected in 2020, when they worked together again, this time on the TV show "Young Sheldon."

While they were shooting, Linn messaged McEntire to hear whether she was up for grabbing dinner. Naturally, the country musician said yes. The very next week, the pair and some of their friends went to a restaurant for a meal. Next, they visited a wine bar, where McEntire enthusiastically ordered tater tots.
That said, one fan noticed that McEntire's face looked a bit different.

The two devised adorable nicknames for each other based on their first date, and McEntire gushed about their relationship, saying, "He's a handsome rascal." Internet users commented on the interview, saying the couple looked cute together. Some also noted that the vocalist seems to have had cosmetic enhancements.
In memory of the first date McEntire and Linn went on, he refers to her as "Tater Tot," while the country star devised the name "Sugar Tot" for him. Ever since that first date three years ago, the pair have been inseparable. McEntire laughed, "We're the Tots, Sugar and Tater. We've been together ever since."
Although McEntire has more than proved herself as a proficient musician, she still looks up to many of her contemporaries.

After hearing how McEntire and Linn met and seeing photos of the couple together, fans of the "Jennifer Hudson Show" congratulated the country singer on the relationship. One wrote, "Wow that's full grown old man. I'm glad she found someone to love," while another said, "He's treating our girl right." Another fan gushed:
"Reba is simply the best!!!! A true living legend and consummate singer, actress and astute business woman! So happy she found love again! So deserves it! All the happiness to her and Rex!"

That said, one fan noticed that McEntire's face looked a bit different. In response to a post that Entertainment Tonight made regarding the interview, one Facebook user implied the "Consider Me Gone" singer had had cosmetic surgery, commenting, "Her face though her facelift didn't go so well. 😱"
Although McEntire has more than proved herself as a proficient musician, she still looks up to many of her contemporaries. She noted that performers such as Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette all seem like the "seniors" in school while she's still merely a junior.
McEntire doesn't scoff at her health and realizes how fortunate she has been over the years.

Nonetheless, McEntire is tickled pink about the heights her career her soared to over the years. However, she doesn't regard herself as out of the game just yet. The musician spoke about her age, saying, "I feel 35, maybe 40," and confirmed that youthfulness seems to run in her family.
That being said, McEntire confessed that she has started to notice the physical effects of aging. One of the things growing older has impacted the most is her ability to lose weight. In the past, she could quickly lose up to ten pounds just by adjusting her diet, but now, she noted, "it just takes so much."

McEntire tries to counteract the effects of getting older by staying healthy and working out, but staying fit takes longer than when she was younger. However, she doesn't count calories and still feels up to any task, including the rigors of touring and performing.
McEntire doesn't scoff at her health and realizes how fortunate she has been over the years. The musician emphasized how grateful she is for everything she has achieved in her life and mentioned that she starts every day with a thankful prayer:
"I thank the Lord for the good night's sleep, the bed I get to sleep in, the house I'm in. And it's going to be a great day because He made it."

McEntire mentioned that she's aware life and success can both be fleeting things, and she aims to make the most of both with the time she has left. The actress advised, "Can't do anything about what happened in the past, and don't put your worries into tomorrow."
