Reba’s ex-husband, Narvel Blackstock, married Laura Stroud, over the weekend, in Nashville, Tennessee, according to InTouch.
And Narvel’s officiant also has a connection to the country singer.
Blake, 47, and his wife, Gwen Stefani, attended the music producer’s nuptials, and Blake was the officiant.
Narvel’s daughter-in-law, Marissa, who is married to his son, Shelby, shared photos of the event to her Instagram Story.

Blake stood in front of the couple with his book and script in a tux.
Narvel wore a simple black tux and Laura donned a beautiful strapless off-white wedding dress with lace leaves on the skirt.
The couple kissed after Blake pronounced them husband and wife.
CONNECTION TO REBA
The country singer had Reba, 69, on The Voice as a mentor for a few seasons.
Reba even replaced Blake as a coach on Season 24.
She is currently a coach alongside Dan + Shay, Chance the Rapper, and John Legend.
However, Reba was joined by Gwen, 54, on Season 24, so she is pretty close to the couple.
Narvel has served as Blake’s manager for many years.
He was also Reba and his ex-daughter-in-law, Kelly Clarkson‘s, manager for years before they both dropped him.
WEDDING DETAILS
Aside from Blake and Gwen attending, Reba and Narvel’s son, Shelby, 34, was also in attendance.
The outlet didn’t reveal many other details about the wedding except that it was held at the Hermitage Nashville.
Not much is known about Narvel and Laura’s relationship, but a source told the outlet that they have been together since his divorce from Reba.
Reba was married to Narvel from 1989 to 2015.
CHANGED MY LIFE
It’s no wonder that Blake sided with Narvel because the former Voice coach said that the producer changed his life.
When Blake received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year, he thanked Narvel for his career.
“If there’s one person that I probably need to thank more than anybody from a career standpoint, Narvel Blackstock literally changed my life,” he said.
“He got me to take my cowboy hat off. I mean, my God … and cut my mullet.”
“You’re an a** for that, actually, because that’s cool again. Now, I can’t go back,” Blake joked.
He has even posted birthday tributes on social media to Narvel over the years.
