Rex Linn had proposed in late 2024 but they kept it to themselves for months. \u201cI\u2019ve never been loved by a man like Rex Linn. Rex is a very tender-hearted man, and I just love him with all my heart. He\u2019s a good guy. Real bashful though,\u201d she gushed about her fiance.<\/p>\n

The two currently star on Reba\u2019s new NBC sitcom,\u00a0Happy\u2019s Place<\/em>. Season 2 of the popular show premieres on Friday, November 7.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, fans can see her on\u00a0The Voice.<\/em> She returned as a coach for Season 28<\/a> alongside Michael Bubl\u00e9, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg. What about her own music career?<\/p>\n

She said she doesn\u2019t have a timeline for retirement, maybe \u201c20 years\u201d from now. Reba McEntire shares Dolly Parton\u2019s playbook for retirement. \u201cI think I\u2019ll know when it\u2019s the time. Dolly [Parton] and I talked about that an awful lot when she did the Reba show, and I said, \u2018Are you going to retire?\u2019 She said, \u2018Why would I? What in the world could I do and have as much fun as what I\u2019m doing in this job right now?\u2019 I agree with her a hundred percent. Slow down, maybe, but no plans of retiring,\u201d Reba told\u00a0PEOPLE<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Reba McEntire isn\u2019t slowing down at 70, but she is looking at life through a different lens. She opened up about her change in perspective from living for tomorrow or yesterday and focusing on today instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to think being content was a no-no, because if you\u2019re content, you\u2019re not going to strive to continue to do better. That\u2019s not true because you always try to improve your health,\u201d the \u201cIs There Life Out There\u201d singer said.<\/p>\n

She shared the one piece of advice she gives out the most on\u00a0The<\/em> Voice<\/em>: \u201cEnjoy every minute.\u201d Reba McEntire sure is enjoying every minute of her 70s.<\/p>\n
