Soft launch? That's so not Reba McEntire's style.
The renowned country singer, 70, stepped out with longtime partner Rex Linn at the 2025 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, with a representative later confirming to USA TODAY that the two were engaged.
McEntire, clad in a sequined black blazer over a long black silk gown, posed hand in hand with Linn, 68, an actor whom she began dating in 2020.
The country star performed later during the show alongside fellow country act Little Big Town. They teamed up for a rendition of the "Golden Girls" theme song to honor the show's 40th anniversary.
Rex Linn and Reba McEntire attend the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on Sept. 14, 2025, in Los Angeles.
McEntire and Linn's romance began during the pandemic, when the two connected after appearing on the show "Young Sheldon."
"He's a better cook than I am, so I like that, for sure. We love Longhorns, we love the cowboy way of life, cowgirl way of life, and we both got into the entertainment industry," she told Fox in May. "He's an actor. I'm a singer. I love to act. Now we act together.
