Instagram vs. reality: Reba McEntire shares humorous picture with boyfriend Rex Linn

ABC

Reba McEntire and her boyfriend, Rex Linn, are Hollywood royalty, but that doesn’t mean they’ve abandoned their country roots.

The country superstar recently took to Instagram to share the reality of what life is like when the couple isn’t strolling down a red carpet. Reba posted a photo of the couple looking dapper as they pose hand in hand backstage at the Oscars, followed by a humorous snap of the two dressed up in their finest chili cook-off attire.

In the latter pic, Reba is seen wearing a pair of overalls over a cheetah-print shirt with a purple scarf and a bright yellow “Hillbilly Chili Cook Off” ball cap, while Rex, who’s an actor, looks equally as attention-grabbing in a chef’s shirt and cowboy boots, with a chili pepper hat on his head. 

“Swipe right to see what a difference a week makes. From red carpets to red peppers, we have fun either way!!!” the country legend writes in the caption, along with the hashtags #Oscars #HillbillyChiliCookOff.

Reba and Rex began dating in 2020. They originally met in 1991 on the set of Kenny Rogers‘ made-for-TV film The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw.
