Reba McEntire Reveals What It's Like to Act Alongside Boyfriend Rex Linn and the Big Difference Between Their Approaches
When it comes to acting, Reba McEntire and her boyfriend Rex Linn couldn't be more different. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, May 13, the 70-year-old country star opened up about season two of her NBC show Happy's Place — and what it's like starring alongside her boyfriend of five years. "He is probably the sane one in the group. On the Reba show, I was the voice of reason, and now he is. So I get to be in the whirlwind of chaotic stuff," McEntire said of his character, Emmett. When asked if they have the same approach to acting, the "Fancy" singer was quick to shake her head "no." "Who takes it more seriously?" asked host Seth Meyers. McEntire responded: "He does. Rex is a stickler on rehearsals. So we'll wake up... every morning we have 'Coffee Camp.' And so, I'll go get the coffee, and he's got a script. I'm like, 'Can we have coffee first?'" She then imitated him and said, "Gotta get to rehearsing right now!" Still, McEntire clarified that she's OK with it because Linn, 68, is a "good guy," and "I like him a lot." McEntire first met Linn while starring in a Kenny Rogers film together in the 1990s. However, their relationship did not turn romantic until 2020. They reconnected after the death of her mother and grew closer during quarantine. Ahead of the 2025 ACM Awards, which she hosted, she told Fox News that she and Linn "get along in every aspect." "He's a better cook than I am, so I like that, for sure. We love Longhorns, we love the cowboy way of life, cowgirl way of life, and we both got into the entertainment industry," she continued. "He's an actor. I'm a singer. I love to act. Now we act together." She went on to call their relationship the "perfect union," adding, "We get along great. We do argue now. We argue a lot, but we have fun doing that too." In addition to Happy's Place and the Rogers film, McEntire and Linn reconnected on the set of Young Sheldon and then went on to costar in the Lifetime original movie The Hammer. In 2022, they played a married couple, Buck and Sunny Barnes, on the third season of ABC's Big Sky. In October, Linn told PEOPLE that they're "running lines constantly" for Happy's Place. "But every once in a while, I'll sneak by for a quick kiss, just a peck on the cheek and keep on moving. It's fun," he said. Read the original article on People

Let's go, girls. Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson say there's never been a better time to be a woman in country music.
Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson want their fellow female country artists to know: You can sit with us. The trio is set to debut their new song, 'Trailblazer,' at the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs) on Thursday night, as the ladies will pay homage to the trailblazing artists that came before them. McEntire, who is hosting the show for the 18th time, told Yahoo Entertainment she thinks it's a great time to be a woman in country music. 'I do agree that it's better than it's ever been — and is growing,' the 16-time ACM winner said after rehearsals at the Star in Frisco, Texas, where the ACMs are being held Thursday night. 'We were at the Variety luncheon the other day for powerful women of Nashville, and there was so much power and strength [in the room] but also love and adoration for each other.' McEntire was at the event alongside singers Kelsea Ballerini, Sheryl Crow and Mickey Guyton. 'It's a lift up, not a competition anymore,' McEntire continued. 'Let's all build [each other] up, be a unit, because when women get together we can move mountains.' Like everything in Texas, the ACMs are going big for the show on its 60th anniversary. Although Lambert has only been part of two of the six decades of country music that will be celebrated onstage, she credits friendships with other female artists in the industry for being her support system through her career. 'What sticks with me the most is how country music is such a community and a family and how we welcome the new generations with open arms,' she explained to Yahoo. 'It's been really amazing to see, and so I'm trying to do that too because people do that with me.' Lambert recognized collaborators and friends McEntire and Wilson as people she leans on. 'I feel like the girls really stick together,' she said, 'and [there are] some really amazing girls coming out. I feel really happy that we're all here to lift each other up and have each other's backs.' Wilson, who is nominated for seven ACMs tonight, agreed. 'I don't know what I would do if I didn't have that support system — and just a support system in general,' she told Yahoo. 'Everybody from the women in my family, to my friend group in Nashville, to other artists like Miranda and Reba. I mean, they're the ones that I can call and vent to.' Wilson continued, 'They lift me up and encourage me. I try to just watch how they deal with things and listen and learn, and the wisdom that they're willing to share with me, it's pretty sweet.' The 60th Academy of Country Music Awards stream live on May 8 at 8 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
