It has now been confirmed that country singer Reba McEntire has finalized her divorce from her husband Narvel Blackstock, after 26 years of marriage. In a joint statement, Reba and Narvel explained on Reba’s personal website that the two have been separated for the “past few months”. Going on to claim, “Despite this being the end of their marriage, they continue to support each other.” Concluding their announcement, the former couple stated, “[we have] worked together for 35 years and will continue to do so. [We] have asked that you respect their privacy during this time.”
During Reba and Narvel’s over 2 decade long marriage, they shared one son together, Shelby. In addition, Reba was also a big part of the lives of Narvel’s 3 other children from his previous relationships (including Brandon, who is now married to Kelly Clarkson).
On her Facebook page, Reba commented on one of her pictures saying, “Narvel ad I are divorced. It was final October 28.” She went on to say, “Thanks for all of the sweet messages. Narvel and I are friends. We have always been.”
