Reba McEntire and Her Boyfriend Rex Linn Share Intimate Moments from Their Relationship on Her Podcast

The second season of Reba McEntire's Spotify podcast Living & Learning is officially here, y'all! Of course, she welcomed her boyfriend Rex Linn to chat and the duo shared some juicy details about their budding relationship.

Reba and CSI: Miami actor Rex started dating in January 2020. It first started with a dinner date and now we can't get enough of the two lovebirds. Fans weren't completely aware of their relationship until she mentioned it on the first season of her podcast. Now, it's come full circle and Rex tells his side of how they made their relationship work during the pandemic on season 2's first episode.

When telling fans about their contact-less relationship due to the pandemic, Reba and Rex explained that on March 16, 2020, they started "Coffee Camp" where they talk every morning (and they haven't missed one yet!). “It was a very special relationship, us getting to know each other without any physical aspect to it at all,” Reba explained.

Rex also went the extra mile during that time to make sure Reba knew how much he cared about her. "Speaking of quarantine, I sent you food during quarantine a lot of times. I was trying to find a way to connect with you other than us three hours a day talking with one another, which was great and it allowed us to develop an emotional intimacy through those months and weeks. But I would send you food from all over the country cause I'm a foodie and you’re a foodie," Rex proclaimed.

Along with talking about what inspired Rex to begin his acting career, the couple got personal with podcast listeners while explaining how they connected through the death of their mothers.

Many will be surprised to hear that the two knew each other well before they started calling each other "Tater Tot" and "Sugar Tot." Rex describes how when his mother passed away in 1998, his sister lets him know there's an important phone call that he needs to take. "So I went back in my old bedroom that I grew up in, sat on the bed and it was Reba. And she said ‘I understand what you’re going through today. I just wanted to talk to you.’ We talked for about 25 minutes and I never forgot it. It was amazing and it was uplifting. It was really special and little did I know 20 years later, 21 years later, I’d be doing the same thing with her.. But I never forgot that."
