Reba Mcentire: Life, Love & Starting Over

蕾芭·麦肯泰尔：生活，爱和重新开始

Four years ago the country queen was in the midst of an unexpected and painful divorce. Now, with a new album, she's opening up about finding love when she least expected it

四年前，乡村女王经历了一场意想不到的痛苦离婚。现在，随着新专辑的发行，她开始在她最意想不到的时候寻找真爱

Reba McEntire is headed out the door of her Nash-ville headquarters, leaving behind a half-finished makeup session and a photographer in the middle of setting up.

蕾芭·麦肯泰尔(Reba Mcentire)走出她位于纳什维尔的总部，化妆尚未完成，摄影师正在布置。

She's hungry but also ready for a little private time. "We're just going for a quick lunch!" she says as she breezes toward the elevator with boyfriend Anthony "Skeeter" Lasuzzo.

她饿了，但也准备好享受一点私人时间。“我们只是去吃顿快餐！”她和男友安东尼·“斯基特”·拉苏佐(Anthony "Skeeter" Lasuzzo)轻快地走向电梯时说。

In a day packed with a People photo shoot, work commitments and an appearance at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, who can blame McEntire for stealing a moment away?

这一天要拍摄《人物》杂志照片、完成工作，还要出现在乡村音乐名人堂和博物馆，谁能责怪麦克泰尔偷偷休息这一刻呢？

These days the 64-year-old country star says she's intent on following her heart—especially after the work it took to mend it.

这些天，这位64岁的乡村歌手说，她决心追随自己的心，尤其是在修复它之后。

Four years ago McEntire endured a painful and unwanted divorce from her husband of 26 years, Narvel Blackstock, her longtime manager and father of her son Shelby, now 29.

四年前，麦肯泰尔与结婚26年的丈夫纳维尔·布莱克斯托克(Narvel Blackstock)经历了一场痛苦的意外离婚。布莱克斯托克是麦肯泰尔的长期经纪人，也是现年29岁的儿子谢尔比(Shelby)的父亲。

Today that once-shattering heartbreak is a distant memory. McEntire met Lasuzzo, a soft-spoken retired oil geologist, in 2017, and she's proud to say, "We're totally in love." She's also totally busy.

今天，那个曾经令人心碎的时刻已成为遥远的记忆。2017年，麦肯泰尔遇到了说话温和的退休石油地质学家拉苏佐，她很自豪地说，“我们完全相爱了。”她也很忙。

More than 40 years since the Oklahoma-born singer launched a musical career that would go on to feature such signature hits as "Fancy" and "Somebody Should Leave," McEntire is releasing her 29th studio album, Stronger Than the Truth, on April 5.

40多年前，这位俄克拉荷马州出生的歌手开始了自己的音乐生涯，她的代表作包括《Fancy》和《Someone Should Leave》。如今，麦肯泰尔将于4月5日发行她的第29张录音室专辑《比真相更强大》。

She's also working to develop a new television series, a follow-up to her 2001-07 run on the popular sitcom Reba, and preparing to make her 16th appearance as host of the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 7.

她还在制作一部新的电视剧，这是她2001年至2007年在流行情景剧《蕾芭》的续集，并准备在4月7日第16次作为乡村音乐学院奖(Academy of Country Music Awards)主持人亮相。

Her date for the big night? Lasuzzo, of course. The pair are already making plans for hitting the red carpet before the show.

她今晚的约会对象？当然是拉苏佐。这对情侣已经计划在演出前走红毯。

"We like to color-coordinate a little bit to where we don't clash," she says with a laugh.

她笑着说：“我们喜欢把色搭配得不致起冲突。”

"It's very important!" After her marriage ended, McEntire admits, she didn't expect to be this in sync with anyone ever again.

“这是非常重要的!”麦肯泰尔承认，在她的婚姻结束后，她没想到自己还能和任何人保持同步。

But "it feels good," she says. "I mean, this old heart's still beating."

但是“感觉很好，”她说。“我是说，这颗老心还在跳动。”

Back in August 2017, dating again was nowhere on her to-do list. "I was not looking," she says. "Not even interested."

2017年8月，她的待办事项中根本没有约会。“我没有看，”她说。“没兴趣。”
