Reba McEntire Reveals What It's Like to Act Alongside Boyfriend Rex Linn and the Big Difference Between Their Approaches
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, May 13, the 70-year-old country star opened up about season two of her NBC show Happy's Place — and what it's like starring alongside her boyfriend of five years.
"He is probably the sane one in the group. On the Reba show, I was the voice of reason, and now he is. So I get to be in the whirlwind of chaotic stuff," McEntire said of his character, Emmett.
When asked if they have the same approach to acting, the "Fancy" singer was quick to shake her head "no."
"Who takes it more seriously?" asked host Seth Meyers.
McEntire responded: "He does. Rex is a stickler on rehearsals. So we'll wake up... every morning we have 'Coffee Camp.' And so, I'll go get the coffee, and he's got a script. I'm like, 'Can we have coffee first?'"
She then imitated him and said, "Gotta get to rehearsing right now!"
Still, McEntire clarified that she's OK with it because Linn, 68, is a "good guy," and "I like him a lot."
McEntire first met Linn while starring in a Kenny Rogers film together in the 1990s. However, their relationship did not turn romantic until 2020. They reconnected after the death of her mother and grew closer during quarantine.
Ahead of the 2025 ACM Awards, which she hosted, she told Fox News that she and Linn "get along in every aspect."
"He's a better cook than I am, so I like that, for sure. We love Longhorns, we love the cowboy way of life, cowgirl way of life, and we both got into the entertainment industry," she continued. "He's an actor. I'm a singer. I love to act. Now we act together."
She went on to call their relationship the "perfect union," adding, "We get along great. We do argue now. We argue a lot, but we have fun doing that too."
In addition to Happy's Place and the Rogers film, McEntire and Linn reconnected on the set of Young Sheldon and then went on to costar in the Lifetime original movie The Hammer. In 2022, they played a married couple, Buck and Sunny Barnes, on the third season of ABC's Big Sky.
In October, Linn told PEOPLE that they're "running lines constantly" for Happy's Place.
"But every once in a while, I'll sneak by for a quick kiss, just a peck on the cheek and keep on moving. It's fun," he said.

Michael Scott's 'The Office' Condo Up for Sale: See the Price
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The condo apartment that Michael Scott lived in during the American series The Office is now up for sale on Zillow, with a pending sale as of July 1. On The Office, the condo was located at 126 Kellum Court inside the Kellum Court complex in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It was featured in several episodes, including the fan-favorites "The Dinner Party," "Fun Run," and "Dream Team." "The Dinner Party," the 13th episode of the show's fourth season, was ranked by Variety as the best episode of the entire series. Variety said the episode contained "some of the most hilarious scenes of the entire series." The condo was selected because of the "flow" and "openness," according to director Paul Feig during his guest appearance on the podcast Office Ladies, hosted by actors Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, who played Pam Beesly and Angela Martin, respectively. The condo is actually located roughly an hour outside of downtown Los Angeles in the Reseda neighborhood, the listing boasts "famous neighbors" such as actor Johnny Depp and filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Steve Carell, winner of Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy for "The Office" and NBC's Jeff Zucker.

Charbonneau/WireImage for Universal Pictures The three-bed, three-bathroom condo is listed at $710,000 as a "very clean, well kept, turn-key home" that offers 1,458 square feet, has direct access to a two-car garage, and a back patio. The listing has a "pending sale" as of July 1 after 70 days on the market, but the realtor is still accepting back-up offers. A turn-key home means that the buyer should expect little to no updates or maintenance ahead of taking up residence. The property has a tax-assessed value of $656,477 and has a value as high as $736,000 as the "estimated sales range," on Zillow. The property requires a $550 per month Homeowners Association (HOA) fee, which covers yard maintenance and "controlled access" to the gated community and even includes earthquake insurance—likely unsurprising given its location. The Zillow listing for the property describes it as a "great starter home or downsize home as it can be easily managed and maintained." The listing previously sold in 2005, the year The Office debuted in the U.S.—for around $490,000 and was listed for sale on April 19 this year. The gated community in which home is located contains 36 homes overall, and based on previous sales, at least some of the properties have identical layouts. A condo located next door had been listed for sale in 2022, which had the "exact same floor plan," according to the New York Post. The home listed for $699,000 at that time, and ultimately sold for around $755,000.

Molly Shannon backs Kenan Thompson to take over from 'genius' Lorne Michaels as 'SNL' showrunner
Actor Molly Shannon has backed the idea of Kenan Thompson taking over from longtime " Saturday Night Live" showrunner Lorne Michaels, despite calling Michaels "irreplaceable." Asked what she thought about Thompson potentially taking the reins at the NBC show in an interview with People, Shannon, who was a cast member between 1995 and 2001, said it was "an excellent idea." "I love this idea. He's the greatest — I adore Kenan," she said, adding that he was "so talented." Thompson joined "SNL" in 2003 and is the longest-tenured cast member in its history, notching his 22nd season this year. Rumors of Michaels' retirement grew as "SNL" neared its 50th anniversary earlier this year, fueling speculation over who could take over as showrunner. For Shannon, it seems the show will never be the same, no matter who comes in. "There's no one who could replace him. It would not be the same show," Shannon told People of Michaels, who created the sketch comedy show in 1975. "He's just a one-of-a-kind genius. Brilliant. Smart." "It's his show, his vision," she added. In September 2024, Michaels, 80, addressed speculation over his future, telling The Hollywood Reporter he had no "immediate" plans to retire. "I just know that this is kind of what I do and as long as I can keep doing it, I'll keep doing it," he said at the time. Earlier this year, Thompson hinted that fans of "SNL" could see a major shakeup when the show returns following the wrap of its 50th season. "Especially this year where it feels like there's maybe, possibly, a lot of change next year," he told Page Six. "You want everyone to stay forever, knowing that people may be making decisions this summer." He added that he had yet to sign a new contract for the coming season but expressed interest in returning. "You just never know what the future holds," he said. "I don't want to be in the way of someone else." "I don't want to be the stale old man riding the same old thing. That doesn't really happen that much at 'SNL' but there's no guarantees," he added.
