Reba McEntire technically only has one child, but she considers her stepchildren her kids as well! She still keeps in touch with her ex-husband’s kids and seems to be such a great mom! Learn more about Reba’s son and her stepchildren, including her very famous daughter-in-law, Kelly Clarkson.
Reba got married to Charlie Battles in 1976. Charlie already had teenage sons named Lance and Coty and she stepped right into the stepmother role and still continues to spend time with the boys even after their divorce. Charlie sadly died in 2013. These days, Lance stays out of the spotlight, but Coty became a steer wrestler just like his dad.
Reba then married Narvel Blackstock in 1989. Narvel had three kids already, Shawna, Brandon, and Chassidy. Even after Reba and Narvel’s divorce, she said, “I don’t consider Brandon, Chassidy and Shawna stepchildren. I claim them all.”
Shawna and Chassidy stay out of the spotlight as well, but Brandon works as a manager, just like his father. He also married singer, Kelly Clarkson. When the pair — who are the parents of two — got engaged, Reba said, “To have my buddy as my daughter-in-law, I mean, who could ask for more? [Kelly’s] a girl with a big heart. Very giving, loving, and talented.”
Of course, Reba and Narvel have a son of their own named Shelby! He was born in 1990, just a year after they got married. These days Shelby is a full-time professional race car driver. He also seems to be a mama’s boy, spending time with Reba whenever he can.
Reba occasionally posts photos of her children, so it seems like they all have stayed close. That is so sweet to see!
In February 1990, Reba welcomed her son, Shelby Steven McEntire Blackstock, into the world. Even after her divorce, Reba maintains a strong and affectionate bond with her three stepchildren and the Blackstock family.
Per reports, when questioned about the divorce, Reba explained that it occurred because one party in the relationship was unhappy. Reba concurred with the decision to divorce, understanding that she wouldn’t want to bind anyone to remain with her, as life is too short to endure unhappiness.
Reba has had two husbands. These include Charlie Battles (divorced in 1987) and Narvel Blackstock (divorced in 2015). She currently has a partner named Rex Linn and they have been in a relationship since 2020.
Reba had one child with her ex-husband Narvel Blackstock. They share a son, Shelby Blackstock.
