Inside Reba's New Life! Happy After Heartbreak

She’s a Survivor! Star Reveals How Faith, Friends and Family Helped Reba Mcentire Rebound From Her Darkest Hour.
 

THE Queen of Country is singing a new tune. This time two years ago, Reba McEntire was finalizing her divorce from husband-manager  Narvel Blackstock and putting 26 years of marriage behind her. The shocking split tore apart the blended family she adored and ended the longtime partnership that had helped launch the Oklahoma girl to international stardom.

Even worse, it soon came to light that Narvel had been cheating with her best friend, Laura Putty Stroud. But not even these heartbreaking blows could crush the resilient redhead.

“The affair hit her like a ton of bricks, but through the grace of God, her friends and family — and a few boxes of tissues — Reba got through the darkest of times,” shares a close friend. “We heard Laura wasn’t the only woman Narvel was seeing... but Reba is a person who forgives no matter how much it hurts.”
