Reba McEntire is "having a blast" as a bride-to-be!
Nearly two months after news broke that she's engaged to Rex Linn after five years of dating, the country star, 70, says she "feels like a teenager again."
"I'm having a blast," she told USA Today in a recent interview. "It's just a wonderful time."
McEntire also told USA Today that she can't stop admiring her engagement ring, which features rose gold and black diamonds. "It sparkles all the time, and it doesn't matter that I don't think I've ever cleaned it," she said, sharing that Linn, 68, presented it to her on bended knee while the two were taking a walk on their Tennessee ranch on Christmas Eve last year.
The Reba alum revealed that Linn originally had a far different plan for popping the question. After picking out the ring at an Austin, Texas, jeweler, he secretly carried it in his pocket during an African safari in June 2024.
"But the opportunity never presented itself," McEntire said. "He brought [the ring] back home."
When he finally proposed by their favorite creek on their ranch, the musician's initial reaction was, "What are you doing?"
"He said, 'Would you marry me? I want to cross the finish line with you,' " McEntire recalled, noting that she hugged him but didn't answer immediately.
"He said, 'You're not saying anything!' And I finally said, 'Well, yes! YES!' He thought he was going to have to jump into the creek," the three-time Grammy winner told USA Today.
