Reba McEntire and Rex Linn shared a heartwarming evening during the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary celebration, a night filled with love, music, and tears of joy. As country music fans tuned in for NBC’s Opry 100: A Live Celebration, which featured iconic performances, the couple enjoyed a special date night. Reba, known as the country queen, was moved to tears throughout the night, her emotions on full display as the evening unfolded.

Reba opened the show with powerful performances of “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and “The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia,” alongside Trisha Yearwood. Afterward, she joined her boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, in the audience, where the couple shared a sweet and emotional experience, with Reba wiping away happy tears during nearly every song. It was a moment that melted the hearts of fans watching.

A Love Story Built on Friendship and Shared Laughter

Though Reba and Rex had known each other for years, they began dating in January 2020. In October of that year, Reba revealed their relationship publicly during an episode of her Live & Learning podcast, admitting how special Rex was to her. She shared a light-hearted moment about how she’d feel if Rex didn’t mention her on his own podcast about dating, showcasing the genuine bond they share.

Their relationship has flourished, and Rex lovingly refers to Reba as “Tater Tot,” a nickname he shared with fans via Instagram, alongside a photo of the two. Reba, in turn, calls Rex “Sugar Tot,” and the two fondly refer to themselves as “The Tots.” Their sweet dynamic has captivated fans, especially since they’re not just a couple, but also co-stars on the NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, where they bring their real-life chemistry to the screen.

Happy’s Place and Their Supportive Relationship

In Happy’s Place, Reba and Rex star alongside Pablo Castelblanco and Tokala Black Elk. The show, recently renewed for a second season, is set in a Tennessee tavern and showcases the couple’s delightful on-screen dynamic. When asked about working with Reba and Rex, their co-stars couldn’t help but gush about their sweet and supportive relationship.

“They’re so cute that they’re gross,” Pablo Escobedo joked, adding, “No, I’m just kidding, but they are like sickeningly sweet…I love seeing them be happy…I can’t imagine how cool it is to go to work and be able to be with your boo. That’s really sweet.” Tokala Black Elk also chimed in, describing how Reba and Rex’s chemistry extends beyond the screen. “They’re very supportive of each other,” he noted, highlighting their different but complementary approaches to work.

The couple’s behind-the-scenes support for each other is evident in their roles on the show, with Rex preferring to rehearse in advance and Reba waiting to see how the final lines come together. Their unique working styles only add to the charm of their relationship, proving that their connection is not only built on love but also on mutual respect and understanding.

A Night to Remember

Reba and Rex’s date night at the Opry’s 100th anniversary celebration was a beautiful reflection of their relationship: full of love, joy, and heartfelt moments. As they continue to share their personal and professional lives together, fans can’t help but root for this sweet couple, who are just as charming on-screen as they are off.
