Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman’s friendship and working relationship have spanned over two decades, beginning with their time on McEntire’s beloved sitcom, Reba, which debuted in 2001. Now, the two are back together again, reunited on McEntire’s newest comedy series, Happy’s Place.

Reba remains a fan favorite even today, celebrated for its humor and heartfelt moments. When the show wrapped in 2007, the bond between McEntire and Peterman extended far beyond the set. Over the years, the pair have continued to work together on various projects, and their friendship has only grown stronger. This enduring connection brings fresh energy to their collaboration on Happy’s Place.

Looking back on their first meeting, Peterman fondly recalls feeling starstruck by McEntire—not just for her talent but for her warmth and kindness off screen. Their relationship has since blossomed into a close friendship built on shared experiences, trust, and plenty of laughter. (Click on the media bar below to hear Melissa Peterman.)
