Reba McEntireandRex Linnaren't in a hurry to tie the knot. The couple have been engaged for some time, but becoming husband and wife isn't the top priority for either right now. The pair have agreed that their careers come first before committing to one another for the rest of their lives.

The two have co-starred in the show Happy's Place since 2024. The second season of that program ended in late January. Reba and Rex have a long history together, having first met in 1991 on the set of The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw.

It has been a long journey for the two to be together. After meeting in 1991, the two reconnected nearly 30 years later when the country singer appeared on Young Sheldon. Rex had a recurring role on that show. The two have been engaged since December 2024, withDolly Partonreportedlyhelping Rexby convincing him to finally propose.

While it seems like a long time to wait to get married, Rex says that the two are "enjoying our engagement time." He says they are having a blast sharing their days both on and off set. He adds that they like being around each other both on the way to work and getting home from it. Reba previously said their wedding will be non-traditional. Rex will be the Queen of Country's third husband, with the Better Call Saul actor marrying for the first time.

Happy's Place was renewed for a third season earlier this month.

"No, I have not. 100% no," theVanishedactress says.

The camera then pans over to Barrymore who has a mischievous smile on her face. As she starts nodding her head to the question, Cuoco then exclaims, "I figured! You're a wild child."

"American Airlines," Barrymore quips, sparking an uproar of laughs and cheers from the audience as her eyes dart over to them.

"That's amazing," Cuoco responds. When Barrymore is asked if it was a "difficult" maneuver, she admits, "No. It worked well."

NEED TO KNOW

  • A California winery formerly owned by Alex Trebek has hit the market for $7 million

  • The property features a vineyard, winery, production space, multiple dwellings, a livestock pasture and plenty of land for outdoor recreation

  • The Jeopardy! host first bought the property alongside 16 other investors in 1986, according to the Los Angeles Times

A California winery formerly owned byJeopardy!hostAlex Trebekhas once again hit the market — this time for nearly $7 million.

The more than 577-acre property is located in Creston, Calif., situated along the state's Central Coast. Thelistingincludes a full-functioning vineyard, winery, a working ranch, several dwellings and even a historic barn converted into an event space.

"Over the last 10, 20 years, the Central Coast has really carved out its own niche as being a premier destination for wine enthusiasts," co-listing agent Mike Goldfarb of Coldwell Banker Realty tellsMansion Global. "It used to be that you had to go up to Napa or Sonoma to drink fine wines, but there are so many great vineyards and wineries in the Central Coast area."

Goldfarb tells the outlet the sellers of the listing, which he shares with Lindsey Harn of Christie's International Real Estate Sereno, are his parents: Barry and Donna Goldfarb. They reportedly purchased the property when it was Creston Manor Vineyards and Winery from Trebek and other investors in 2001 for $1.6 million.

According to theLos Angeles Times, Creston Manor was founded in 1982 before a divorce between the initial partners forced the property into bankruptcy. Trebek, a notable wine collector, and 16 other investors later saved the winery in 1986.

Trebekdied on Nov. 8, 2020 at age 80. The news came over a year after he wasfirst diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancerin March 2019. He was survived by his wifeJeanand theirtwo children: son Matthew and daughter Emily. He also has an older daughter, Nicky, whom he adopted with his first wife Elaine Callei.

Today the property offers "rare scale, privacy, and flexibility, with everything in excellent condition and lakes currently full from recent rains," per the listing. There are more than 22 acres of vineyards planted with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, zinfandel and Pinot Noir. There is a 97,000-square-foot winery building with a 1,600-square-foot apartment and 500 square feet of office space. A massive barrel room completes the property, alongside multiple warehouse facilities for goods and storage.For living spaces, the listing has 11 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms spread across five houses and a private honeymoon suite.

A fully fenced pasture supports cattle, horses, sheep and pigs with terrain like rolling hills and private lakes. The property is a perfect place for outdoor activities like fishing, ATV riding, shooting sports and other recreation.

"This is an extraordinary opportunity as a vineyard estate, equestrian ranch, event venue, retreat or legacy investment," the listing says.

When Goldfarb's family purchased the parcel, it only had the winery — which the family leased out through most of their ownership, perMansion Global. Over the years, they added on the dwellings, turning the property into a family retreat.

There is one element that remains: an old blacksmith's shop.

  • Claflin shares daughter Margot, 78, and son Pip, 10, with ex-wife Laura Haddock

Sam Claflinis opening up about being a single dad to his two kids.

Speaking withBustlefor a new interview, the actor, 39, shared that when he became a single dad to his two kids — son Pip, 10, and daughter Margot, 8 — in 2019 after splitting from ex-wife Laura Haddock, it took some time to transition into his new normal.

"I had a 4 and 2-year-old, and I was potty training my daughter, homeschooling my son, whilst trying to cook," Claflin said of separating from his ex during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"My gosh, I didn't have a clue," he continued. "There were moments where I was crying to myself, but we got through that together, and being forced to be on my own was the best thing that ever happened to [our] relationship."

Elsewhere in the article, Claflin spoke about how it was his dream in life to become a dad ever since he was 3.

"When I was a teenager and beyond, if I was at a wedding, I would always go and hang out with the kids," he shared, adding that he used to tell people when he was younger that he wanted to be a dad when he grew up.

Eventually, Claflin and his ex-wife Haddock became parents shortly after the actor starred inThe Hunger Gamesfranchise.

"WhenThe Hunger Gamesfinished, me and my wife at the time were trying for a baby so I didn't want to be away for five months shooting," he explained. "I wanted to be at home and start my family."

Claflin then took some time off from Hollywood, opting to shoot smaller projects so he could stay closer to home.

"I was speaking to one director quite recently [who asked], 'So, where have you been?' I was sort of everywhere for a little while and then I went off the map in Hollywood's eyes, I guess," said Claflin. "The truth is, I'm really proud of that decision. I don't regret any of it."

Back in 2023, Claflin alluded tobeing in a "bad place" after his separationfrom Haddock, whom he was with for six years, in an interview withVariety.

"I'd been through quite a lot personally at the time. I was in a really bad place," he explained at the time. "I think I needed to work out a few kinks in my own life, to figure out who I was as this dad on my own in a house outnumbered by two toddlers."

"Then this job coming out the back of that was just the most fun, joyous fresh start," he said of beginning his work onDaisy Jones.

The actor announced his and Haddock's split on his Instagram Stories in August 2019, sharing a joint statement from the former couple promising that they were moving forward with "nothing but love."

"Laura and I have decided to legally separate," the statement said. "We will move forward with nothing but love, friendship and a deep respect for one another, whilst we continue to raise our family together."

"We won't be commenting on this further," the statement continued. "Thank you in advance for your support and respecting our privacy at this time. Both of us x."

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie’s Relationship With Ex-Prince Andrew Is “Very Strained and Hard” Amid Scandal

February 09, 2026

The Gist

  • Following the latest batch of Epstein files released on January 30, the spotlight is back on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson for their association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, are reportedly standing by their parents, but their relationship with Andrew in particular is "very strained and hard," a source told Hello!.

  • "It's sad for them, but the real tragedy is for the victims," royal biographer Robert Jobson told the outlet.

Even amid the latest scandal surrounding their parents,Andrew Mountbatten-WindsorandSarah Ferguson, following the most recent tranche of the Epstein files, a new report indicates thatPrincess BeatriceandPrincess Eugenieare still standing by their father and mother.

On January 30, the U.S. Department of Justice released the latest batch of the Epstein files, which not only included the former Duke and Duchess of York but also Beatrice and Eugenie, albeit only in association with emails and photographs sent to Epstein by their parents. In one email, Sarah indicates that her daughters will join her for a Miami lunch with Epstein—though it was just days after his release from prison in 2009; at the time, Beatrice and Eugenie were 20 years old and 19 years old, respectively. Regardless, as a source toldHello!, "The sisters are not abandoning their father."

"They aren't turning their backs on him," the friend added. "But everything is obviously very strained and hard."

Veteran royal biographer Robert Jobson told the outlet that Beatrice and Eugenie "must be overwhelmed and aghast by this." Of their mother, he added, "What was she thinking? Taking her daughters—the late Queen [Elizabeth]'s granddaughters—to meet this vile, convicted animal? It really beggars belief."

Andrew and Sarah surrendered their Duke and Duchess of York titles in October; by the end of the month,King Charleshad stripped Andrew of all of his royal titles and privileges, though Beatrice and Eugenie retain their princess titles and Her Royal Highness stylings. Following the latest Epstein files drop, both Andrew and Sarah have moved out of their 30-room mansion in Windsor, Royal Lodge, with Andrew heading for the Sandringham estate and Sarah "lying low at an overseas spa while considering her future and where she is going to live," according toHello!.

"She is in a bad way and feeling very guilty," Jobson said. "The last time I was in touch with her, she was worried about her mental health and mulling over the 'what ifs.'" Jobson continued, "The girls have been very sympathetic to her, but that might start to unravel. You have to wonder if they will ever be seen in public with her again."

Beatrice and Eugenie's decision to spend Christmas with King Charles and the royal family at Sandringham "speaks volumes," he added. "It might be hard to rebuild what they had. It's sad for them, but the real tragedy is for the victims."

Jobson toldPeoplethat Beatrice and Eugenie trusted Andrew in that he had done nothing wrong, and "they feel pretty duped by the whole thing," he said.

"I do think they believed their father, and now it has all backfired," he added. "I know that Eugenie, especially, has found it very difficult." He continued, "They are older and mothers themselves now and will be thinking this is appalling."

"I have sympathy for them," Jobson said. "It's not their fault who their parents were associated with."

According to a source speaking toThe Times, Beatrice and Eugenie are "likeable, they carry themselves well, and work hard at their jobs." Longtime royal biographer Ingrid Seward also told the outlet that the sisters "will be worried and saddened for both their mother and father, though, and anxious about the future for them."

"They both absolutely adore their father and want the best for him," a source who has worked closely with the family toldThe Times. "But they also crave privacy as much as possible."
