Reba McEntire fans grew teary-eyed as the country legend shared an exciting relationship milestone with her longtime boyfriend Rex Linn.

Reba and Rex have been an inspiration to many as they proved that it’s never too late to find your better half. This week fans grew emotional as the 69-year-old singer shared that she and her partner, who she met on set of her sitcom Happy Place, are celebrating their five-year anniversary.

The I’m a Survivor hitmaker shared the exciting milestone with a new loved-up post with her beau. In the Instagram post, the two lovebirds were all smiles as they were seen cuddled up and sporting matching grey sweaters as they enjoyed romantic dinner together. Reba captioned her post: “Celebrating five years of tater tots this week! #thetots #anniversary.”

In the caption, Reba was referencing the pairs’ sweet nicknames they gave each other on their very first date. In an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she shared: “We all went to dinner, had a good time, went down the street to a wine bar, and they said, ‘Well, I understand you’ve already had dinner, but we do have some good appetizers. I said, ‘What do you have?’ They said, ‘Well, we have tater tots.’ I went, [raises hand], and so Rex said, ‘That’s your nickname from here on out — Tater Tot.'”
