Reba McEntire and Rex Linn are in no rush to tie the knot.

McEntire addressed the topic of matrimony in a recent conversation with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights, revealing that she and Linn are having fun and enjoying each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. And while she hasn’t pressured him to propose, she has put that ball in his court.

“I told him if he wanted to get married that’s up to him totally. He doesn’t seem pressured one way or the other. We get along so well. We have fun. We travel together.” the Voice coach shared. “Now, if you can do a road trip with a person and not get in an argument and still like each other when you get to your destination, that’s a pretty good partnership right there.”

It helps that they have a lot in common.

“We grew up in Oklahoma,” McEntire continued. “He started in Texas, I don’t hold that against him, but we love all the same things and we’re close in age, so when I say, ‘Oh, you remember Bewitched back when we were kids?’ He’ll say, ‘Oh, I had a crush on Elizabeth Montgomery.’ We can talk about things. It’s a lot of fun.”

Linn and McEntire met on the set of the Kenny Rogers movie, The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, in 1991, though they didn’t start dating until 2020.

“We kept in contact over the years, we both know the same people,” McEntire explained during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in November 2020. “So it was just like good friends getting back together and having dinner … then we started texting and talking on the telephone and getting to know each other better during the quarantine.”

And the rest, as they say, is history!
