Rex Linn told host Drew Barrymore during a joint interview with Reba McEntire on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ Dec. 11 that he was originally planning on proposing to his ‘Happy’s Place’ costar during a vacation in Africa. As the 69-year-old recalled, he told their guide that he was thinking about proposing to the country singer, but hadn’t “found a place yet.” Unfortunately, as their guide explained, the area was probably not the best choice for a proposal. “He just looks at me,” Rex recounted, “and goes, ‘Well, brother, that’s sort of an evening migratory walkway for male leopards. It wouldn’t be a good time.’” And as Reba—who was previously married to Charlie Battles from 1976 to 1987 and to Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015—explained, she and Rex are very much looking forward to their upcoming nuptials. "It’ll be a lot of fun,” she shared with E! News in November. “It’s gonna be a nontraditional wedding because that’s Rex and me. We like comfort, we love friends, we love food.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1426214/rex-linn-on-scraped-african-proposal-to-reba-mcentire
