Another fan offered a not-so-subtle warning to Rex (but it was all in good fun, of course!)—”Treat our mama Reba good. She has cyber kids to and we will get you! #kidding Best wishes to you guys!”
While it can be difficult to find new connections during quarantine, Reba and Rex found a way. “We were talking, texting, FaceTime,” she said. “And that’s a really good way to get to know people.”
Beyond allowing the two to connect genuinely, Reba and Rex’s first date was able to bloom into so much more. And, she says his presence in her life has been a source of security during this truly crazy time.
“It’s good to have a person to talk to, laugh with, get into subjects about what’s going on,” the 65-year-old singer admitted. “Discussions about our past, our family, funny stories, him being an actor, me being an actress. And he’s very into my music. I’m very into his career. It’s just great getting to talk to somebody who I find very interesting, very funny, very smart, and is interested in me, too.”
Needless to say, we couldn’t be happier for Reba and Rex. Though it’s worth noting, we could have experienced this joy all the way back in January had we had our eyes on the right places!
