McEntire’s Shocking Confession: Why She Fears Tying the Knot with Rex Linn Despite His Desire!
Country music legend Reba McEntire is facing a relationship dilemma that has left her longtime boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, feeling uncertain about their future. While he dreams of marriage and a quiet life together, sources reveal McEntire is hesitant, believing she may be too old to walk down the aisle again.
Rex Linn Wants a Wedding, But Reba Says ‘No Rush’
Reba, who turned 70 in March, has built an iconic career spanning decades. Despite her success, she remains passionate about her work and shows no signs of slowing down. However, this drive for professional accomplishments appears to be creating tension in her personal life. Insiders claim that Rex, 68, has proposed multiple times, but she keeps delaying a clear answer.
Recently, when asked about the possibility of marriage, McEntire responded that she was content with their current situation. Rex, described by sources as a hopeless romantic, has envisioned a future where they step away from the spotlight, tie the knot, and enjoy life together. However, yubi, Reba reportedly believes they are at a stage where marriage is unnecessary.
“She adores Rex, but she sees marriage as something people do when they’re younger. At this point, she feels they’re happy as they are,” a source close to the couple revealed.
Past Heartbreak Fuels Her Reluctance
Reba’s hesitation to remarry is deeply rooted in her past. Her 26-year marriage to her former manager, Narvel Blackstock, ended in 2015, with the singer later admitting their relationship had become more about business than love. That experience left a lasting impact on her perspective about commitment.
Now, as she continues to thrive in her career, sources say she is racing against time to achieve as much as possible before slowing down. The insider noted that while Rex understands her ambition, he still hopes she will reconsider.
“She finally found her dream guy—someone in show business who isn’t consumed by it. But she sees time catching up and wants to make the most of her career before stepping back,” the source added.
Will Reba and Rex Find a Compromise?
While the pair enjoy working together on NBC’s Happy’s Place, insiders say their off-screen discussions about marriage have become a sensitive topic. Rex remains hopeful that he and Reba will eventually exchange vows, but for now, the ball remains in her court.
“She loves him dearly, but she’s just not sure marriage makes sense at this stage of life. It’s something they need to work through,” said a close friend.
For now, fans can only wait and see whether Reba will take the leap or if her love story with Rex will remain one of companionship without a wedding ring.
