Reba joined Savannah Guthrie and Carson Daly on NBC’s morning show to discuss her role on The Voice, her upcoming performance at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, and the second season of her sitcom Happy’s Place. But in the middle of the conversation, Guthrie accidentally referred to actor Rex Linn—Reba’s real-life fiancé who also stars as her husband on the show—as her actual husband in real life.
The small mix-up led to a brief, lighthearted pause. Reba quickly raised her hands and jumped in before viewers could react, joking, “Now wait a minute. Before everyone has a conniption fit at home—we’re just engaged!”
Guthrie immediately apologized with a laugh, replying, “You’re engaged? I’m sorry—soon to be married!”
