There are rumblings around Music City that Narvel Blackstock, aka Reba McEntire's ex-husband, is in a serious relationship with one of Reba's good friends.

According to several folks in the know, the woman Narvel is dating is named Laura Putty Stroud.

Back in 2014 Reba posted a picture on Instagram of all three of them hanging at a Katy Perry concert.

That same year they went to the racetrack to watch Reba's son, Shelby Blackstock. Reba posted a photo from that day with the caption, "Thanks Laura Stroud for the great picture."

Another bit of irony on the whole situation is that Laura's ex-husband is James Stroud, who co-produced a few tracks on Reba's latest album, "Love Somebody".

Sources say that Narvel and Laura's relationship is very serious and the two are even talking about getting married.

While there is nothing wrong with two single people dating, you know there will be much speculation that there was something going on before Reba and Narvel split up.
