Reba McEntire BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Reba McEntire has once again proven herself a force of both talent and reinvention in the past few days, all while gracefully entering new chapters both personally and professionally. The biggest headline is her official engagement to longtime partner Rex Linn. At the 2025 Emmy Awards, when a red carpet reporter called Linn her fiancé, Reba confirmed it with trademark candor, quietly turning a private milestone into public celebration. This romance, which began as a reconnection during the pandemic after years as friends, is resonating with longtime fans because it comes after Reba weathered family loss and public heartbreak. There is rampant fan speculation about the wedding—from whether it will be an intimate affair on her beloved Tennessee property or a star-studded country blowout—but no details have been announced, and sources consistently emphasize that, for Reba, the occasion is about love, not spectacle. The professional highlight of her week is another major accolade: Reba has just been announced as a recipient of the 2025 Paley Honors Award, recognizing her enduring contributions to music, TV, and culture. The Paley Center praised her voice, career longevity, and impact, and the social media elegance has been nothing short of jubilant—public congratulations from Happy’s Place co-star Melissa Peterman, and fans celebrating “another achievement for your marvelous career” in what feels like a coronation for modern country royalty. True to Reba form, her work ethic is red-hot. She’s returned as a coach on The Voice for season 28, with the live premiere just aired, and she’s already looking to conquer the competition again after clinching a previous win with Asher HaVon. Back in comedy land, her sitcom Happy’s Place continues to generate buzz, not least because she shares the screen with Rex Linn, whose chemistry with her is authentic and years in the making. For superfans watching every move, her spring 2025 return to Oklahoma for a home-state concert at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant is stirring anticipation. Even her presence at the Grand Ole Opry’s 100-year journey exhibit made news, highlighting her iconic status. If you follow Reba on social media, you’ll also have seen her talking about favorite artists—she confessed on The Voice press rounds that she loves Carole King, The Eagles, and the Secret Garden soundtrack, showing how this legend still draws inspiration as much as she gives it. In short, Reba McEntire is celebrating a new love, gathering new honors, and putting on a master class in continued relevance, proving—at seventy—that the next act can be the most compelling of all.
