Is Reba McEntire Controlling Rex Linn? Friends Speak Out

Reba McEntire and Rex Linn have been one of country music’s most talked-about couples since they reconnected during the pandemic. However, despite their seemingly perfect relationship, friends of Rex have expressed concerns that he has become completely consumed by Reba, leading to speculation that she has an overwhelming influence on his life.

 

According to insiders, the CSI: Miami star has become increasingly distant from his social circle, prompting some of his friends to criticize McEntire. They claim that the legendary singer has taken control of nearly every aspect of his life, leaving little room for the relationships he once valued. While many see their relationship as a fairytale romance, others see it as a dynamic where McEntire holds all the power.

Rex Linn’s Unwavering Devotion to Reba McEntire

Despite the criticisms from his friends, sources close to the couple reveal that Rex Linn has no complaints. The 67-year-old actor is reportedly head over heels for the 69-year-old country music legend and is more than happy to accommodate her every wish.

“People tease him, and he doesn’t care because he’s so happy,” an insider shared. “Everything revolves around Reba to such a degree that people joke he has to ask permission to run an errand. It’s frustrating for those who barely hear from him anymore.”

 

However, those who know Linn best insist that he wouldn’t have it any other way. His admiration for McEntire is evident in his frequent social media posts, where he gushes about her accomplishments. “He’s got her all over his Instagram, even though she rarely posts about him—but he doesn’t mind. He just loves to talk about how much he adores her,” the source added.

Reba McEntire and Rex Linn’s On-Screen and Off-Screen Connection

The couple’s relationship goes beyond their personal lives, extending into their professional careers as well. Linn landed a supporting role in McEntire’s latest NBC sitcom, Happy’s Place, which premiered in October. Reports suggest that McEntire played a crucial role in securing his part on the show, further cementing the idea that she is determined to keep him close at all times.

 

“They’ve been busy with their sitcom, where Reba insisted Rex have a part—clearly so she could keep an eye on him,” a source claimed. “To an outsider, it’s all a bit claustrophobic, but they’re both content with the arrangement.”

 

The couple has been inseparable since they reconnected in 2020, communicating frequently via text and phone calls during the pandemic lockdown. Their relationship has only grown stronger over the years, but some argue that this closeness has come at the expense of Linn’s friendships.
