While many people slow down later in life, Reba McEntire is doing the opposite—embracing love, joy, and new beginnings. The country music legend recently tied the knot with actor Rex Linn in a stunning, intimate ceremony on Italy’s romantic Amalfi Coast, and fans around the world are feeling all the feels.
It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t loud. It was classic Reba—heartfelt, meaningful, and full of genuine love. And by her side was Rex, her longtime friend-turned-forever partner, making this a storybook moment years in the making.
From Friends to Soulmates
Reba and Rex actually met way back in the 1990s during their busy Hollywood days, but it wasn’t until decades later—during the quiet of the pandemic in 2020—that they truly connected. What started with phone calls and shared laughs slowly blossomed into something real.
No headlines. No drama. Just two people finding comfort and companionship in each other. And now? They’ve written a new chapter—together.
Why the Amalfi Coast?
Reba had always dreamed of a peaceful, romantic wedding—not in a ballroom or spotlight, but somewhere that felt soulful. The Amalfi Coast won her heart during a trip with Rex last year, where they spent quiet hours watching the sea and talking about the future.
“She always said that if she ever wore a wedding dress again, it would be somewhere her heart felt calm,” a friend shared. And that’s exactly what she got.
A Wedding That Was All Heart
Only about 40 close friends and family members were invited. No media. No red carpets. Just white chairs on a quiet beach, a soft Mediterranean sunset, and the sound of the waves as Reba walked down the aisle in a beautifully simple lace gown.
Rex, always the tough guy on screen, couldn’t hold back his tears. Their vows were private and tender—no microphones, no fanfare. Just two people deeply grateful to have found each other.
A Country Soul in an Italian Night
The celebration continued on a terrace overlooking the sea, where guests enjoyed homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and a lemon cake made with Amalfi’s famous citrus. It was elegant without being over-the-top—just like Reba.
And in true Reba fashion, she brought out a guitar and sang a quiet love song for Rex. The breeze, the music, the glow of the evening—no one in attendance will forget it.
“She’s still the same Reba,” said a guest. “Real, warm, and full of heart.”
What’s Next for Reba and Rex?
While fans may wonder if this means Reba will step away from the spotlight, she’s made it clear: “Music is my lifeblood,” she often says. She’s not slowing down—just doing life with even more love behind her now.
Rex is fully on board, often cheering her on from backstage and joining her in projects when he can. Their life isn’t about compromise—it’s about growing and enjoying the ride, together.
A Love Story for All Ages
Reba and Rex’s wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it was a reminder to all of us: it’s never too late to fall in love. Whether you’re 25 or 65, life has a way of surprising you when your heart stays open.
And somewhere along the rocky cliffs of Italy, under the golden light of a setting sun, two hearts found their forever—proving once again that the best love stories aren’t rushed… they’re simply worth the wait.
Congratulations to Reba and Rex—your love is the real fairytale.
