Peterman, who was actually on-hand for the couple’s “so-called” first date, confirmed.

“Then February on, it was the COVID pandemic and we were talking, texting, [using] facetime and that’s a really good way of getting to know people,” McEntire acknowledged., adding, “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. 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.”
