Reba McEntire wants to fall in love again

She said: "I'm just kind of winging it and taking it one day at a time and loving life, enjoying being with my friends and family as much as I can.

"I think it's always nice to have somebody to go to dinner with and fall in love with. I don't see anything wrong with that at all."

The 'Heart Won't Lie' singer credits her loved ones and also her faith from helping her through the breakdown of her marriage.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "God and my girlfriends. My family, work, staying busy, but being able to talk to God every day and say, 'You gotta help me through this. I'm gonna give it all to you,' and he did. He helped me through it."

Despite her split from Narvel, Reba has stayed close to his son Brendan Blackstock and his wife Kelly Clarkson.

And the country music legend is looking forward to seeing the couple - who have kids River, two, and Remington, seven months, together - over the festive season.

She said: "I saw them at Thanksgiving and now I am getting to see them at Christmas.

"They are busy. She is really busy travelling a lot and she takes the kids with them all the time."

Reba thinks 34-year-old Kelly - who is also stepmother to Brandon's older kids, Savannah, 14, and Seth, 11 - is a great mother.

She said: "She is loving all the time, but she is a good mom and she laughs and makes them mind and says, 'Oh no, girlfriend, you are not getting away with that! 'Oh no, don't look at me like that.'

"[She is] very saucy. She is hysterical with [her kids] and they are cute as a button."
