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.

Drew Barrymore Reveals the Surprising Way She Joined the Mile High Club: 'It Worked Well'

CBS ENTERTAINMENT

NEED TO KNOW

• Drew Barrymore is recalling the time she once had sex in the bathroom of an American Airlines flight

• The talk show host told the cheeky tale during a Feb. 9 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show featuring guest Kaley Cuoco

• Barrymore hilariously admitted that her mile high club experience "worked well" and was not difficult at all

Drew Barrymorehas joined the mile high club, but it didn't involve a private jet — or even a private first class seat.

During a Feb. 9 episode ofThe Drew Barrymore Showfeaturing guestKaley Cuoco, the talk show host, 50, was asked to recall her "mile high club" experience while participating in the "Ping Pong Challenge" segment of the show.

As the two engage in a ping pong match, Cuoco, 40, is prompted to answer the question, "Have you ever joined the mile high club?" after she loses the point.

"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."

But Barrymore's escapade didn't occur in the privacy of a chartered jet like one might assume of an A-list celebrity.

"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."

With a shocked expression on her face, theBig Bang Theoryalum says, "Good seating? It kinda morphs to your… I could see that."

Cuoco's comment leads Barrymore to let an important detail slip out: "He was in the bathroom," she says.

Her eyes then widen in shock as she covers her face with the paddle and exclaims, "Did I say that out loud?!"

Palace says King Charles III will support police assessing former Prince Andrew's Epstein links

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III is ready to "support'' UK police examining claims that the former Prince Andrew gave confidential information to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Buckingham Palace said on Monday.

The statement came after Thames Valley Police said Monday that they were"assessing" reports that theformer prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,sent trade reports to Epstein in 2010. The department, which serves an area west of London that includes Mountbatten-Windsor's former home, previously said it was evaluating allegations that Epstein flew a young woman to Britain to have sex with Andrew, also in 2010.

"The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor's conduct,'' the palace said in a statement. "While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect.''

The statement is just the latest effort by the palace to distance the royal family from Mountbatten-Windsor as the U.S. Justice Department's release of more than 3 million pages of documents from its investigation into Epstein reveal more embarrassing details about the relationship between the two men. Earlier in the day, Prince William and Princess Catherine released their own statement saying they have been "deeply concerned" by recent revelations.

The palace also reiterated Charles and Queen Camilla's concern for the victims of Epstein's abuse.

"As was previously stated, Their Majesties' thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse,'' the palace said.

The jeopardy faced by the royal family could be seen Monday when Charles visited Lancashire, in northwest England. While most of the crowd clapped, cheered and waved flags, one person shouted, "How long have you known about Andrew?"

Concerns about Mountbatten-Windsor's links to Epstein have dogged the royal family for more than a decade.

The late Queen Elizabeth II forced her second son to give up royal duties and end his charitable work in 2019 after he tried to explain away his friendship with Epstein during a catastrophic interview with the BBC. After more details about the relationship emerged in a book published last year, Charles stripped him of the right to be called a prince and ordered him to move out of a royal residence close to Windsor Castle.

But the Justice Department documents have brought new attention to Mountbatten-Windsor as reporters home in on dozens of email exchanges between Epstein and the former prince, many of which took place after the financier was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008.

Correspondence unearthed in recent days appear to show that Mountbatten-Windsor sent Epstein copies of his reports from a 2010 tour of Southeast Asia, which he undertook as Britain's envoy for international trade. An earlier email appears to show Andrew sharing his itinerary for the two-week trip to Hanoi, Saigon, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong with Epstein.

"We can confirm receipt of this report and are assessing the information in line with our established procedures," Thames Valley police said in a statement released on Monday.

Adding to the storm, a U.S.-based attorney said on Feb. 1 that he represented a woman who alleges Epstein flew her to Britain to have sex with Mountbatten-Windsor. The encounter took place at Royal Lodge, the former prince's longtime home in Windsor, the attorney said in an interview with the BBC.

Police previously said they were assessing this report.

The king last week forced Mountbatten-Windsorto move out of Royal Lodge months ahead of schedule. Anger over Mountbatten-Windsor's living arrangements had grown amid concern that he was still reaping rewards from his status as a royal even though he is no longer a working member of the royal family.

Mountbatten-Windsor is now living on theking's Sandringham estate in eastern England. He will live temporarily at Wood Farm Cottage while his permanent home on the estate undergoes repairs. Unlike Royal Lodge, which is owned by the crown and managed for the benefit of taxpayers, Sandringham is owned privately by the king.

Thames Valley Police began its latest inquiry after Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, reported Mountbatten-Windsor for suspected abuse of public office and violations of Britain's Official Secrets Act.

Smith, whose group seeks to replace the king with an elected head of state, compared Mountbatten-Windsor's correspondence with Epstein to earlier revelations about Peter Mandelson, Britain's former ambassador to the U.S., who is already the subject of a police investigation into whether he shared sensitive information with Epstein. Those communications were also revealed in the Justice Department documents.

"I cannot see any significant difference between these allegations and those against Peter Mandelson," Smith said on social media.
