Reba told co-host Melissa Peterman: “Yeah, yeah, I am [dating].

“A very, very sweetheart of a guy, Rex Linn. And we’ve been talking during the pandemic.”

The 65-year-old said: “We had dinner with Rex, was it in January?

“And then February on it was the Covid-19 pandemic and we were talking, texting, FaceTime. And that’s a really good way to get to know people.”

She continued: “It’s good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what’s going on. Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress.”

The singer added of her new love: “And he’s very into my music. I’m very into his career.

“It’s just great getting to talk to somebody who I find very interesting, very funny, very smart, and is interested in me, too.”
