Reba and Rex Linn
Reba and her new boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, are “livin’ the dream” together.
The couple recently visited Montana and shared an adorable snapshot together on their respective Instagram feeds. What’s even cuter is the fact that they appear to already have special nicknames for each other.
In her post, Reba referred to Rex as her “Sugar Tot” while Rex called Reba “Tater Tot” in his post.
Reba first revealed she was dating the CSI: Miami star during a recent episode of her Living & Learning with Reba McEntire podcast.
“I am [dating], a very, very sweetheart of a guy, Rex Linn and we’ve been talking during the pandemic,” McEntire shared.
“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 and me being an actress,” she went on to say. “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, very smart and is interested in me too.”
Rex Linn is a television and film actor and is known for roles in shows such as Better Call Saul, CSI: Miami and JAG. He also stars in Young Sheldon, a CBS comedy that Reba made a guest appearance on earlier this year.
Reba said they are “having a blast” getting to know each other and said that Rex is “very special.”
