Reba McEntire, 68, Opens up about Whether She'd Marry Boyfriend Rex Linn after Two Divorces

• Reba McEntire has been married twice.
• The country singer is now in a relationship with her boyfriend, Rex Linn.
• McEntire recently opened up about the possibility of getting married to Linn.

Reba McEntire was previously married to Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987. She then married music manager Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015. Less than a year after Blackstock and McEntire exchanged vows, they welcomed their only child together, Shelby, born on February 23, 1990.

The country singer took charge of her business and career after she and Blackstock divorced. McEntire admitted that it was a huge change for her to make the money, bring it home, and take care of all the bills.

The 68-year-old and Blackstock were married for 26 years before their divorce, so it took time and effort for the singer to take charge of her life when they eventually split. The singer said she put her faith in God to help her deal with the business aspect of things and the upheaval of her personal life.

McEntire confessed that the subject of getting married has come up between them, and they have discussed it.

McEntire shared her experience after her divorce from Blackstock on "Apple Fitness+ Time to Walk." She said the best advice she can give someone going through what she went through is to go home, regroup, and listen to what they're supposed to do next. McEntire said she survived by doing these things and having positive friends who had her best interests at heart in her life.

Alongside her healing journey, McEntire also moved on with her new partner. The singer has been dating her boyfriend, Rex Linn, since 2020. She recently opened up about the possibility of getting married for the third time.

McEntire's Relationship with Boyfriend Linn

McEntire and Linn started dating in 2020, but the two have known each other since 1991. The singer said they met when they were together in Kenny Rogers' movie "The Gambler" and have kept in contact since then as they have several mutual friends.

When the singer's mom got sick in 2020, Linn called her. Unfortunately, McEntire's mom passed away. Since March 2020, the two started talking and visiting each other. They ended up bonding during the quarantine period.

McEntire and Linn spent a lot of time together in 2020 as they both starred in "Young Sheldon." The singer said they started dating in June 2020 and have been inseparable since. McEntire confessed that the subject of getting married has come up between them, and they have discussed it.

The two agreed that if they ever got married, they would have to hold several ceremonies because they have many friends, family, and acquaintances. However, the mom of one recently said she has left the fate of their relationship in Linn's hands.

McEntire said she is happy with the way things are between her and Linn. Still, she revealed that she told Linn the decision to get married lies with him because she has been married twice and he has never been married.

As they make the choice whether to get married or not, McEntire and her boyfriend are enjoying each other's company. The singer said they are both dorky and love having fun. She added that the best thing about their relationship is that Linn makes her laugh, and she makes him happy, too.
