Reba McEntire and her longtime boyfriend, Rex Linn, recently brought Halloween spirit to The Kelly Clarkson Show. The two showed up in full costume to join Kelly Clarkson and her team, who had dressed up as characters from the classic movie Beetlejuice. This cult-favorite film from 1988 has sparked Halloween costumes for years, and with the release of its sequel in 2024, Beetlejuice-inspired looks are back in full swing.
Kelly was nearly unrecognizable as she embraced the eccentric Beetlejuice look, complete with bold makeup, a wild wig, and that iconic striped suit. Fans know how close Reba and Kelly are, so it was no surprise that Reba went all out for her friend’s Halloween episode. Of course, Rex joined in the fun as well, adding a spooky vibe to the stage with his zombie attire.
The funniest moment came when Rex attempted to give Reba a kiss in his zombie makeup. Reba’s immediate reaction was priceless. “Gross!” she laughed, shooing him away. Kelly joined in the joke, teasing Reba by saying she had “never made out with that.” Reba quickly shot back with a smile, “Never will!”

Rex Shares a Funny Story of His Failed Attempt to Scare Reba
During the episode, Kelly asked Rex if he enjoyed pulling pranks by scaring people. Rex admitted he loves to playfully scare friends, but when it comes to Reba, things don’t always go as planned.
One memorable prank, Rex explained, involved him lying on the floor, waiting for Reba to finish up in the kitchen. He had hoped to jump out and catch her off guard, but Reba’s cleaning took longer than expected. After almost 30 minutes of waiting, Reba finally turned off the lights and walked by him. Seizing the moment, Rex reached out and grabbed her ankle, expecting a big reaction.
Instead, Reba didn’t flinch. Without missing a beat, she calmly looked down and asked, “What are you doing down there?”
Though Rex’s attempt fell flat, the story had everyone laughing, adding to the lighthearted, Halloween-themed fun of the episode.
The chemistry between Reba and Rex makes any moment memorable, and this Halloween visit on The Kelly Clarkson Show was no exception. Here’s hoping the couple enjoys a fun, spooky season together!
