Grammys 2026: Reba McEntire REVEALS the real reason behind wedding postponement with fiancé Rex Linn

Reba McEntire keeps pouring her heart into music and acting at 70, proving age just adds flavor to her unstoppable spirit. Fresh off chatting at the 2026 Grammy Awards red carpet on February 1, the country legend opened up about why she and fiancé Rex Linn, 69, pushed back their wedding. Work demands from their hit sitcom stole the spotlight, but the couple stays blissfully chill about it all.

Filming frenzy delays D-day

Reba McEntire and Rex Linn both star in NBC’s ‘Happy’s Place.’ During an exclusive interview with Zuri Hall on Live From E!: The Grammys, Reba McEntire explained the holdup. “We are still waiting for a third pickup from ‘Happy’s Place,’” she said. Rex Linn’s pickup on another project, ‘Stick with Wilson,’ further bumped their plans. Rex Linn summed it up simply: “Work comes first.” The pair juggles shooting episodes every Friday night, turning their real-life romance into on-screen chemistry that fans adore.

Savoring engagement without the rush

Reba McEntire confirmed her engagement to Rex Linn exclusively with E! News at the 2025 Grammys in September, after Rex Linn proposed on Christmas Eve. They kept it quiet for months amid Los Angeles fires, finally sharing at the Emmys. Rex Linn told E! News in November that they love this phase. “We’re enjoying our engagement time,” he shared. “We haven’t set a date. We’re just going to enjoy our engagement and love going to ‘Happy’s Place’ every day.” Off-set, they cherish quiet moments that strengthen their bond and boost their performances.

Fun, low-key vows on horizon

When Reba McEntire and Rex Linn do tie the knot, expect a bash true to them. “It’s going to be a non-stop wedding because it’s Rex and me,” Reba McEntire teased. “We appreciate comfort, we cherish our friends, and we love food.” No fancy fuss, just joy with loved ones. The duo walked the Grammys carpet together, turning heads as one of many couples owning the night.


Reba McEntire also led the touching In Memoriam tribute at the 68th Grammys, honoring lost icons alongside Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson. Her 18th Grammy nod for ‘Trailblazer’ with Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson highlights her enduring country reign. Meanwhile, red carpet pairs like Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and Israel Houghton added romance to the star-packed event on CBS and Paramount+.
