Reba McEntire has been TOTALLY crushing it, lately!
Not only has she recently launched her new podcast, “Living & Learning with Reba McEntire,” she’s all set to be hosting the 2020 Country Music Awards with country king Darius Rucker!
In addition to those awesome career accomplishments, Reba is single-handedly spearheading the campaign to reboot her hit TV show, *Reba.*
For those who need a refresher, the show followed Reba as a single mother learning to adjust to life with a pregnant teenage daughter as well as a blossoming (and mostly unwilling) friendship with her ex-husband’s new pregnant wife.
Naturally, it was hilarious.
Recently, Reba revealed that the cast of the show is “all for” a reboot of any kind.
“The problem is the higher uppers, if they’re for it,” Reba told The Country Daily .
“But we’ve let them know that we’re anxiously awaiting some feedback to let us know whether or not we can do a reboot, a two-hour special, a movie of the week, we don’t care.”
“We just love each other.”
“We’ve got so many more stories that we didn’t get to tell before when they canceled us that we’re just excited to get back together.”
Until the show comes back (which I think it must, Reba is literally BEGGING for it), Reba has been keeping herself busy with a NEW MAN!
Who’s got a new man? Reba’s got a new man!
Fans of Reba will know the 65-year-old has been married twice.
Reba’s first husband was Charlie Battles. The pair were married for 11 years before calling it quits.
Reba then married Narvel Blackstock in 1989 and shocked fans when she announced their divorce in 2015.
Now, it looks like Reba is opening her heart up to love again with new beau, Rex Linn!
If Rex looks familiar, it’s because he’s an actor!
Rex’s most recent gig is starring in Young Sheldon , and before that, he starred in CSI: Miami !
Chatting on her podcast, Reba revealed she’s really digging her new beau!
Describing Rex as a “very, very sweetheart of a guy” Reba said, “It’s just great getting to talk to somebody who I find very interesting, very funny, very smart and is interested in me too.”
Reba recalled their first dinner date with podcast co-host Melissa Peterman.
“We had dinner with Rex, was it in January?” Reba asked Melissa, who accompanied the pair on the date.
“And then February on it was the COVID pandemic and we were talking, texting, FaceTime. And that’s a really good way to get to know people,” she continued.
“It’s good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what’s going on. Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress.”
“And he’s very into my music. I’m very into his career.”
Reba went on to say she was hesitant about sharing this information, but that Rex was super supportive.
“It’s very important to be selective about when you want to talk about your private life,” Reba insisted, according to CNN .
We’re so happy for our country singing queen!
