The social media anniversary update
Reba McEntire added a playful touch to her anniversary tribute by referencing an inside joke she and Rex Linn share: “Tater tots.”
Her heartfelt post quickly drew an outpouring of love from fans, who flooded the comments with admiration and warm wishes. One fan enthusiastically wrote, “Happiest anniversary to you both, Queen @reba!!! You deserve the world.” Another chimed in, “Oh wow, great together. Happy 5th anniversary! Love ya both so much.”

How did Reba and Rex meet each other
Reba McEntire and Rex Linn’s love story began long before they became a couple. Their first meeting dates back to 1991 when they co-starred in The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw. At the time, Reba was married to Narvel Blackstock, with whom she shares her son, Shelby.
Years later, after Reba’s marriage ended in 2015, fate brought her and Rex back together. In 2020, they reconnected over dinner, a casual outing that quickly turned into something more. Rex even shared their reunion on Instagram, marking the start of their journey as a couple. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, openly celebrating their love both online and in real life.
Reba and Rex’s relationship extends beyond their private lives-they’ve also teamed up professionally. The duo stars in NBC’s Happy’s Place, where Reba plays Bonnie and Rex portrays Emmett.
