Major News About Reba McEntire and Her Boyfriend Rex Linn Has Just Been Revealed

Reba McEntire is making her way back to your living room and she’s bringing her beau!

The singer and actress known for her role in Reba surprised fans with an announcement that no one saw coming. The “I’m a Survivor” singer officially joined the cast of ABC’s Big Sky, and shared a first look at the third season’s trailer on Instagram with a caption that began with, “You never know what’s coming around the bend.”

Big Sky: Deadly Trails is a continuation of the hit ABC television series, but with Reba portraying a mysterious and untrustworthy character, fans are in store for something big. In the show, her character Sunny Barnes owns a camping company in Montana with an ominous reputation of disappearing customers.

By Sunny’s side is her husband, Buck, played by none other than Reba’s real life love interest Rex Linn. No wedding ring in real life, but a ring on television? For many couples, that could get awkward, but this isn’t their first rodeo.

Well before their on-screen romance began, the two started dating in January 2020. Both have been in the acting business for decades so playing the role of a partner in an on-screen couple is nothing new to them. If anything, we’re hoping it’ll just make them even closer.

One thing is for sure — the couple have been mighty busy adding to their acting resume. Reba and Rex are also set to share the screen in a new Lifetime movie, The Hammer.

The “Fancy” singer plays a spitfire attorney who is appointed judge in a small Nevada town named Kim Wheeler. With a no-nonsense attitude and gavel that she’s not afraid to use, she’s a force to be reckoned with. Rex will also be joining the cast of The Hammer as a “mysterious cowboy with unknown motives.”

If you need to play catch up before the September premiere, both seasons of Big Sky are available on Hulu or ABC.
