The Queen of Country Music is paying tribute to her true love. The legendary singer and McEntire, 69, with a caring post said, “Happy birthday to my beloved! So grateful that we are able to enjoy coffee at camp, go to work, and have fun at Happy’s Place together!” Moreover, the post provided a glimpse into the couple’s communication to their fans.
Along with the post there was a lovely picture of the couple smiling, shining and full of love, showing the world how much they enjoy being together. McEntire concluded her birthday wishes with a common but very endearing nickname that was hard to miss: ‘Have a great birthday, Sugar Tot!!!!!’ This sweet name was immediately turned into the most talked-about subject among the people commenting on the post.
The two actors first met in 2020 when McEntire was a guest star in an episode of the CBS sitcom Young Sheldon but their friendship quickly turned into romance and then love. They both enjoy their status in the entertainment business—McEntire as the Queen of Country Music and Rex as the supporting cast member, often overlooked, but recognizable from his role in CSI: Miami and many feature films—their fairytale romance, though later-in-age, is still captivating and fueling.
Numerous comments on the post spoke about the large amount of love and happiness the couple had for each other. A user mentioned the fact that ‘You are an absolutely lovely couple,’ while someone else made the statement ‘It’s been great to be happy together through the years.’ This exactly was the atmosphere of the comments where one of the users expressed ‘If anyone needs and deserves the best of love and happiness, it’s Reba. She has gone through things that no one should have to endure. I am really happy for you, Reba.’
The ‘Sugar Tot’ nickname was clearly the winner in the polls of the audience. One user couldn’t help but yell ‘Sugar Tot!!!! That might just be the most adorable nickname I’ve ever heard!!!’ Another jokingly said ‘Now my life goal is to get a woman to call me sugar tot.’ There is no doubt that the couple’s quirky nicknames for each other have won the audience’s heart who appreciate their playful yet straightforward relationship.
A couple of people made comments on the actor’s skill saying that one of them said “Great actor. Like him in westerns best” and another one said “He’s a good actor too.” The couple’s teaming up in the ‘Happy’s Place’ series was also mentioned as one of the reasons for their fan base that is still increasing. One person even said, “I have been watching Happy’s Place all day. Happy Birthday, Mr. Linn.”
Someone very observant noticed the link between real-life love story and the on-screen chemistry and wrote, ‘Oh my God! I just figured out who Rex is on the show! The chemistry with Emmett was just loved… now it makes sense! Happy birthday to Rex! Reba… you’re an ‘it’s never too late’ inspiration.’
The surprising number of responses to McEntire’s birthday wish is a clear reflection of how much the public appreciates the couple and their love affair. Monotony is probably the word that comes to mind when talking about the life of a mature couple, but McEntire and Linn have managed to turn their routine into an opportunity to keep both a professional cooperation and a romantic relationship going. Their story is a proof that partnerships know no age limit and that having the same job can even be a very good base for a partnership.
