AceShowbiz - Country star Reba McEntire and her boyfriend Rex Linn are thinking about tying the knot.
McEntire and the "Young Sheldon" actor started dating in early 2020 and are already contemplating marriage.
"We've talked about it and giggled about it," the singer told Extra, admitting they might need multiple ceremonies to accommodate their many guests.
"We thought if we ever did have a ceremony we'd have to have a 2 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock and an 8 o'clock because we have so many acquaintances and family."
Reba has been married twice before, to Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987 and to Narvel Blackstock, father of pop star Kelly Clarkson's estranged husband Brandon Blackstock, from 1989 to 2015.
And "The Heart Won't Lie" singer is sure Rex has all the right qualities to be husband number three.
"He loves to work. I love to work. We were both wannabe cowboy/cowgirls and then got into the entertainment business... we get along so well. I'm just very grateful," she added. "[He's a] great storyteller, total gentleman and he's hysterical."
In a separate interview, Reba opened up about getting through her divorce from Narvel while still reeling over her father's death. "Everything that I was dealing with privately, personally, I had to run it all through God. I had to say, 'OK big boy, I can't handle this. This is way over my pay grade. I don't know what to do.' " she admitted.
"And I would wait, and He would guide me. And so without my faith, I have no idea where I would be or [where] my career would be at this time today," she went on to say. "I would say, 'Go home, regroup, and listen to see what you're supposed to do next.' Rally friends around you, good positive friends that have your best interests at heart - which I did - and you will survive."
