Reba McEntire Postpones Wedding Due to Filming Schedule

Reba McEntire and her fiancé, Rex Linn, have decided to postpone their wedding. McEntire, 70, shared in an interview on Sunday, February 1, 2026, that Linn's priority is 'work comes first,' which has influenced their decision. Linn, 69, has upcoming projects that require his immediate focus.

Among these projects is the NBC sitcom 'Happy's Place,' which McEntire also stars in. They are awaiting a potential third season pickup for the show. Additionally, Linn has been cast in 'Stick with Owen Wilson,' a commitment that further pushed back their wedding date. The couple, who have been together for six years, expressed excitement about their joint professional endeavors.

McEntire and Linn are not letting the delay dampen their spirits. She stated in a conversation with PEOPLE at the Grammy Awards that they 'have the best time working together.' Their shared screen time includes 'Happy's Place,' 'Big Sky,' 'The Hammer,' 'Young Sheldon,' and 'The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw.'

Speaking in November 2025, McEntire exclusively told PEOPLE that they were 'totally enjoying being engaged' and saw no need to rush into setting a wedding date. She reiterated that 'work comes first.' McEntire also mentioned in November 2025 to E! News that the wedding would be 'nontraditional,' emphasizing fun, comfort, friends, and food.
