Country queen Reba McEntire just surprised everyone with a deeply personal share featuring her longtime love Rex Linn alongside her son Shelby Blackstock and his wife Marissa in a way we’ve rarely seen before.
Reba McEntire Fans Missed the Star’s Rare Public Outing With Her Boyfriend and Son
The country singer brought boyfriend Rex Linn and Shelby Blackstock with her for a momentous career occasion.

As Reba McEntire celebrates a momentous career milestone, it’s only natural she’d want her loved ones to be beside her for the occasion!
In late April, fans of the country music superstar were ecstatic to learn she was one of the celebrities featured as part of Variety‘s inaugural “Power of Women: Nashville” issue. Additionally, Reba had the opportunity to attend the first gala to celebrate the occasion on May 1, where she posed for photos with other honorees such as Kelsea Ballerini, Sheryl Crow and Mickey Guyton. While the event was definitely a star-studded celebration, folks likely missed who else was in attendance to show support for Reba.
As Reba walked the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, she surprised photographers by bringing out her longtime boyfriend Rex Linn, her son Shelby Blackstock (whom she shares with ex-husband Narvel Blackstock) and his wife Marissa. And if that wasn’t enough, the quartet appeared excited to be hanging out together during the rare family outing.

When Reba later posted highlights from the event (including the family photo op) on Instagram, fans couldn’t get enough of her rare personal update.
“What a cutie picture of your son/family 💞,” one person wrote. “So beautiful!! ❤️,” another exclaimed. “Stunning people, y’all are amazing 🔥🙌❤️,” a different follower replied.
Now, as fans know, Reba is not one to shy away from proclaiming her love for Rex. But as for her relationship with Shelby, she prefers keeping that bond a bit more low-key. But folks did get the chance to see Shelby and Marissa surprise Reba in the best way, at her concert in Connecticut for her 70th birthday.
“She had NO idea we were coming!! 🤯💖,” Marissa wrote while uploading a video of the moment on Instagram back in March. “Watch @reba reaction when @shelbyblackstock @shanetarleton and I surprised her for her 70th birthday at her show in CT! The absolute sweetest moment — who else would cry if they got a surprise like this?! 🥹🎶.”
