Reba McEntire and her fiancé, Rex Linn, aren’t in a rush to tie the knot, and when they do, the couple’s big day will be anything but traditional.
The Happy’s Place stars recently sat down with E! News to chat about the show and share a little about their wedding plans. While they haven’t locked in a date just yet, Reba says the celebration will reflect their personalities and the things they love most.
“It’ll be a lot of fun,” Reba shared. “It’s gonna be a nontraditional wedding because that’s Rex and me.”
McEntire and Linn want their wedding day to feel like them rather than a formal, stuffy affair.
“We like comfort, we love friends, we love food,” Reba explained.
Linn, who proposed to Reba on Christmas Eve 2024, echoed that sentiment, emphasizing that they are enjoying every moment of their engagement before getting into wedding planning mode.
“What we’re doing right now honestly is enjoying our engagement time,” he told E! News. “We haven’t set a date, we’re just going to enjoy our engagement and enjoy going to Happy’s Place every day.”
The couple co-stars in the NBC sitcom alongside Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, and Tokala Black Elk. Linn says they love spending time together, on the set and off.
“We love being around one another,”he continued. “We like going to work, we like coming home from work. We can’t wait to go back the next day. Our relationship in real life has enhanced our scenes where we’re together because we’re a lot more comfortable. It makes it a lot better for us.”
Happy’s Place returns for its second season this Friday, November 7. In Season two, Happy’s Place swings its doors open once again, but a long-hidden secret threatens to turn the tavern upside down and test the bonds of loyalty. Amid the chaos, Bobbie [McEntire] is there to remind everyone that family isn’t just who you’re born to, it’s the people who stand by you, even on the job.
Of the show, Linn shared, “Season two we’re just growing up a little bit…They’ve found our voices and we’re exploring each character’s personal life a bit.”
Happy’s Place Season 2 premieres Friday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and will be available the next day on Peacock.
