As Reba McEntire gears up for a romantic Christmas with her fiancé Rex Linn, the country superstar’s holiday plans have caught the attention of fans and media alike. The couple, who got engaged on December 24, 2024, kept the news under wraps until the 2025 Emmy Awards. McEntire shared with PEOPLE Magazine that they are savoring their engagement and are in no rush to set a wedding date as work takes precedence for now.
This Christmas marks their first anniversary since getting engaged, and McEntire is excited to spend it in Tennessee, surrounded by family and friends. The country superstar revealed to Us Weekly that she is looking forward to cozy nights by the fire and catching up with loved ones during the festive season. Despite not being a fan of cooking, McEntire joked that she would let Linn take charge in the kitchen while she handles the cleanup.
Amidst all the holiday cheer, McEntire emphasized the importance of having fun, echoing her fiancé’s advice to enjoy every moment. Known for her low-key nature, the country icon prefers nights in without makeup, finding joy in simple pleasures.
Despite enduring heartbreak in the past, McEntire believes in the healing power of time and openness to love. Following her divorce from Narvel Blackstock in 2015, she found unexpected love with Linn, whom she describes as a tender-hearted man who loves her deeply.
As she continues to grace screens in NBC’s Happy’s Place alongside Linn, McEntire’s journey serves as a reminder that love can find us when we least expect it. With no set wedding date in sight, the couple’s focus remains on cherishing their time together and embracing the joys of the present moment.
