Reba McEntire’s Close Bond with Snoop Dogg on ‘The Voice’ Sparks Jealousy from Longtime Love Rex Linn

Country queen Reba McEntire’s in the doghouse with her boyfriend, Rex Linn, who’s not happy she’ll be spending so much time with Snoop Dogg while filming season 28 of The Voice, sources tell GLOBE.

Rex, 68, complains to friends that Reba, 70, gets “distracted” anytime she goes off to do the show, a source says. The CSI: Miami alum grumbles that whenever she’s filming NBC’s singing competition show, she gets too busy for loving.

“It’s always ‘not now’ when she’s running to and from the set,” says the insider. “And now she’ll be rubbing shoulders with Snoop.”

“Rex hates to admit it but he’s jealous of Reba’s close friendship with Snoop.”

As GLOBE previously reported, the “Fancy” songbird and Snoop, 53, got along famously while appearing as coaches in season 26 of The Voice.

“Reba and Snoop have a camaraderie that’s been described as warm and friendly,” the source says. “It’s obvious she has a soft spot for him. In the past, they’ve shared flirty banter on and off camera and hung out behind the scenes.”

“Seeing them get along so well gets Rex’s back up every time,” the source says.

“But Reba’s just naturally flirtatious and she’s interested in knowing what everybody is up to on the show. She was born a charmer, and she adores Snoop in particular.”

“They have a lot in common, and she’s always asking him about his painting, his sock collection and his high-school football coaching. She especially loves that he’s a good husband and dad because that’s so important.”

The source swears there is zero hanky-panky happening. “Of course, nothing inappropriate is going on, Reba would be shocked at even the suggestion.” says the insider.

Even so, Rex finds the whole situation vexing. And he isn’t the only one.

As readers know, Martha Stewart, 83, was seeing green over Reba and the “Gin and Juice” rapper’s flirty rapport during season 26.

“She’s definitely not going to be thrilled listening to Snoop go on and on about Reba in the months to come,” the source says.
