But who is The Voice star in a relationship with and what’s her dating history?
Who is Reba McEntire?
Reba McEntire is a famous American country singer.
Born in McAlester, Oklahoma on March 28, 1955, she shot to stardom in the 1970s.
She’s sold more than 75 million records worldwide and even had her own television show called Reba from 2001-2007.
She has also been a judge on The Voice for three seasons running.
Who is Reba McEntire dating?
Reba has been dating her Young Sheldon co-star, Rex Linn, since early 2020.
Reba spoke of her and Linn’s romance during an appearance on The Today Show on Thursday, October 14, 2021.
She said on the program, “Rex and I had known each other since 1991 when we were in The Gambler movie together with Kenny Rogers, and then have known each other, kept in contact.”
“And then in 2020 when Mama got sick, he called me. We’d gotten to see each other before because we’re both on Young Sheldon.”
“So starting in March of 2020, we just kept talking and visiting and finally got together in June. We’ve been pretty much inseparable ever since.”
On her Living & Learning podcast she said: “We’ve been having discussions about our past, our families, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress.
“He’s very into my music, I’m very into his career — it’s just great getting to talk to somebody who I find very interesting, very funny and very smart, and is interested in me too.”
During an interview on Good Morning America in 2020, she said she felt “like a giddy teenager again” with Rex.
Has Reba McEntire ever been married?
Her first husband was Charlie Battles, who she married in 1976.
Despite being together for 10 years, the marriage wasn’t meant to be and they split in 1987.
A few years later in 1989 she tied the knot with her manager Narvel Blackstock.
The couple co-founded Starstruck Entertainment which managed her career.
After 26 years, the pair announced their divorce in August 2015, which was finalized in October of the same year.
A friend told Closer Weekly in 2019 that the split caught her off guard.
“Narvel was her protector, her business partner and manager, and it was really tough on her. She had no idea it was coming,” the pal revealed.
“She felt sorry for herself for about a month, but then she snapped out of it.”
A year before she and Rex started dating, she was with wildlife photographer Anthony ‘Skeeter’ Lasuzzo.
The pair met in 2017 and Reba initially thought they were “a match made in heaven”.
They called it a day after two years in an amicable split.
According to friends Skeeter struggled to keep up with her busy schedule.
Does Reba McEntire have any children?
Reba has one son, born in February of 1990, from her former marriage to Narvel Blackstock.
Shelby Steven McEntire Blackstock, now 34, was born one year after their wedding.
Shelby became a NASCAR driver in 2011.
She gained three stepchildren from her and Blackstock’s dissolved union as well.
Despite the divorce, Reba maintains a close relationship with her three former stepchildren.
One of her former stepsons, Brandon Blackstock, was married to singer Kelly Clarkson from October 2013 to August 2021.
