Rex Linn’s Posse Pushes Back On Reba McEntire

Country diva Reba McEntire has boyfriend Rex Linn following her around like a puppy dog, which has folks in his world rolling their eyes and whispering he’s turning into the most henpecked guy in showbiz, sources squeal.

However, snitches insist the CSI: Miami alum, 67, wouldn’t change a thing — because he adores his 69-year-old country star sweetie and is happy to hop to her every command!

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

“Rex, though, wouldn’t have it any other way. He adores Reba and the same goes for her. He’s got her all over his Instagram when she rarely has him on hers, but no matter — he just loves to gush over her. “He’s very proud to be her partner!”

Rex has a supporting role on the Heart Won’t Lie singer’s new NBC sitcom, Happy’s Place, which premiered Oct. 18.

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

As National ENQUIRER readers know, the couple had been friendly acquaintances for years but connected romantically by phone and text during the pandemic lockdown in 2020 and have been inseparable ever since!
