Reba McEntire Finds Renewed Joy and Success in Her 70s

As of October 2025, country music legend Reba McEntire is enjoying a remarkable chapter in her life and career. At 70 years old, the singer and actress declares she is happier now than she has ever been. McEntire, who signed her first record deal in 1975, has gone on to sell 75 million albums and earn three Grammys. She also became a beloved figure on television with the hit show Reba in the early 2000s.

Now, McEntire continues to entertain audiences in various ways. She is currently starring in her fourth season as a coach on the popular singing competition show The Voice, where she is "blown away" by the talent the show discovers each season. McEntire also headlines her own feel-good sitcom Happy's Place, which premiered its second season in November 2025. On the show, she reunites with her former Reba co-star JoAnna Garcia Swisher, as well as Melissa Peterman and her fiancé, Rex Linn.

In her personal life, McEntire has found a deep connection with Linn, whom she first met while filming a TV movie in 1991. The pair reconnected romantically in 2020 and became engaged last December. McEntire gushes that Linn is the most tender-hearted man she has ever known, and they cherish their time together on and off the set of Happy's Place.

As McEntire looks ahead, she is no longer sweating the small stuff and is focused on living in the present moment. She hopes to continue her successful career for years to come, taking inspiration from her friend Dolly Parton, who has no plans to retire. For Reba McEntire, this chapter of her life is truly her "happy place."
