On Saturday, February 12, Reba McEntire’s son Shelby Blackstock, tied the knot with his fiancée Marissa Branch. The lovely couple said their “I dos” at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in front of Cinderella’s castle.

Blackstock and Branch shared a sneak peek of their fairytale wedding – and everything is just beautiful and magical!

We Spotted Another Lovely Couple

Of course, Reba McEntire was in attendance with her boyfriend, Rex Linn

Reba McEntire’s boyfriend is a seasoned actor who was a former mainstay on CSI: Miami. The two first met while working on the 1991 television film starring Kenny Rogers, The Gambler, but only reconnected three decades later when they crossed paths while working on the show Young Sheldon.

“We just kept talking and visiting and finally got together,” the country star revealed. “And we’ve been pretty much inseparable ever since.”

Last year, McEntire and Linn hosted a wedding shower for the now-married couple. Marissa Branch shared a series of photos of the event on her Instagram, where McEntire and Linn can be seen happily posing alongside other family members.

Anyhow, we also spotted several important people at Blackstock and Branch’s wedding. This includes the father of the groom, Navel Blackstock – the country icon’s husband for 26 years before their divorce. His son, the former husband of Kelly Clarkson, Brandon Blackstock, was also present on the happy occasion. 

Several members of Nashville’s music community were also seen in the event. This includes Nashville singer-songwriter Zach McCabe, who shared a video of McEntire delivering a rousing rendition of her1990 iconic hit, “Fancy.” Pretty sure the guests had a blast! 

Well, we’re wishing Blackstock and Branch a lifetime full of happiness and love as they embark on this next chapter of life.
