Country music legend Reba McEntire is embracing a new chapter in her life \u2014 one filled with gratitude, love, and peace. At 70 years old, the multi-Grammy Award winner says she\u2019s happier now than ever before, both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Happier Now Than I\u2019ve Ever Been\u201d<\/p>\n
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Reba reflected on how content she feels at this stage of her life.<\/p>\n
I think I\u2019m happier now than I\u2019ve ever been in my life,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing. It\u2019s wonderful being 70 and getting to do what I get to do at the level I want to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even after decades in the spotlight, Reba shows no signs of slowing down. She continues to balance multiple major projects, proving that passion truly has no age limit.<\/p>\n
A Career That Keeps Soaring<\/p>\n
Reba\u2019s career remains as vibrant as ever. She currently serves as a coach on Season 28 of NBC\u2019s The Voice, where she mentors rising country stars with her signature mix of warmth and wisdom.<\/p>\n
At the same time, she\u2019s gearing up for the second season of her hit NBC sitcom Happy\u2019s Place, which debuted in 2024 to rave reviews.<\/p>\n
Her work ethic, charisma, and genuine love for performing continue to keep her at the top of her game \u2014 inspiring both longtime fans and a new generation of artists.<\/p>\n
A Love Like Never Before<\/p>\n
Alongside her career success, Reba is celebrating a deeply personal milestone: her engagement to longtime partner Rex Linn.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been loved by a man like Rex Linn,\u201d Reba gushed. \u201cRex is a very tender-hearted man, and I just love him with all my heart. He\u2019s a good guy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s relationship has captured fans\u2019 hearts, known for its playful sense of humor, mutual respect, and emotional support. Their connection, Reba says, has brought a new level of peace and joy into her life.<\/p>\n
Learning to Live for Today<\/p>\n
Despite her confidence and success, Reba admits that learning to be present has been one of her hardest \u2014 and most rewarding \u2014 life lessons.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hardest lesson was to quit living for tomorrow and for yesterday,\u201d she revealed. \u201cThat\u2019s really hard to do, but it\u2019s so rewarding when it clicks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reba explained that she once believed being content meant losing ambition. Now, she understands that true contentment fuels growth, rather than hindering it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to think being content was a no-no, because if you\u2019re content, you\u2019re not going to strive to continue to do better. That\u2019s not true,\u201d she said. \u201cAs I tell artists on The Voice, and anybody that ever asks me for advice, I\u2019ll say, \u2018Enjoy every minute.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
No Plans to Retire Anytime Soon<\/p>\n
While some may be thinking about slowing down at her age, Reba isn\u2019t one of them. She says she has no plans to retire \u2014 at least not yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know when. It could be in 20 years,\u201d she laughed. \u201cI think I\u2019ll know when it\u2019s the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
She recalled a conversation with her friend and fellow icon Dolly Parton, who summed it up perfectly:<\/p>\n
\u201cDolly said, \u2018Why would I [retire]? What in the world could I do and have as much fun as what I\u2019m doing right now?\u2019 I agree with her a hundred percent. Slow down, maybe \u2014 but no plans of retiring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grateful for the Present Chapter<\/p>\n
At this point in her journey, Reba McEntire is focused on gratitude and joy. Between her thriving career, loving relationship, and inner peace, she says life has never felt fuller.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love this chapter in my life,\u201d Reba concluded. \u201cI\u2019m very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her message \u2014 to slow down, live in the moment, and appreciate every blessing \u2014 serves as a timeless reminder that happiness isn\u2019t about what\u2019s next. It\u2019s about finding joy right where you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
