Reba McEntire is happy in her relationship with boyfriend Rex Linn, and says that spending time apart during COVID helped make their relationship stronger.

“He was in Los Angeles, and I was in Oklahoma because my Mama had just died,” she tells “People.” “We didn’t get to see each other from March to June, but we’d talk over Zoom and FaceTime four to five times each day,” noting, “We created a bond and an intimacy that was getting to know each other without being physical.”

And while Reba admits she “really wasn’t interested in finding love again,” after her 26-year marriage to Narvel Blackstock ended, she now says Rex is “the love of my life,” adding, “We’re pretty much inseparable.”
