How Reba and Rex found their way to each other
Reba and Rex’s connection began long before their romance. They first crossed paths in 1991 while co-starring in The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw. At the time, Reba was married to Narvel Blackstock, with whom she shares her son, Shelby.
After her marriage ended in 2015, Reba reconnected with Rex during a 2020 dinner date. Their casual meet-up soon blossomed into something more, with Rex even documenting their reunion on Instagram. Since then, the couple has been inseparable, sharing their love for one another both online and off.
