Why Reba McEntire & Rex Linn’s Wedding Plans Have Been on Pause

There’s a simple explanation as to why Reba McEntire and Rex Linn have yet to walk down the aisle.

The couple met in the ’90s but didn’t start dating until 2020. McEntire broke the news of their engagement at the Emmys in September 2025, referring to Linn as her “fiancé” during a red carpet interview. The following month, McEntire revealed in an interview with People that Linn actually popped the question in December 2024.
