Reba McEntire and Rex Linn are Hollywood’s power couple! The duo, who began dating in 2020, are once again sharing the screen together for Happy’s Place, the new NBC comedy premiering on October 18.

Fans of the couple know that this is not their first time sharing the screen together. Reba and Rex, an actor who has appeared in Young Sheldon, CSI: Miami, Better Call Saul, and dozens of other shows and movies, also starred together in the ABC drama Big Sky.

Rex recently opened up about his relationship with his “Tater Tot” Reba in an interview with Melissa Peterman, who stars alongside the couple in Happy’s Place. Entertainment Weekly shared the clip on their Instagram account.

Rex says of The Voice coach, “The best part’s going to work with her. I get to wake up and then to go work with her. That’s great. The worst part would be at the end of the day we have to go to our dressing rooms separately, and I miss her then for 10 minutes.”

Melissa says, “That’s too much!” But fans in the comments section disagree. They left messages saying, “Rex is too funny!! 😂 but he ain’t lying tho. I’d feel the same way” and “The cuuutest 😍.”

For her part, Melissa, who also starred alongside Reba in her self-titled sitcom, said, “The best part is we’ve got history and a shorthand together, so we don’t have to explain stuff. The worst part is she sings better than I do, and when we have a birthday on set, she’s never around to sing, so that’s not fair.”

We’re eagerly awaiting the premiere of Happy’s Place, but we already love what we’ve seen from the cast!
