Reba cast: Where are they now?

Reba McEntire (Reba Hart)

"A single mom who works too hard/Who loves her kids and never stops/With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter/I'm a survivor." Country icon Reba McEntire played Reba Hart, a tough, recently-divorced mom of three with a penchant for sarcastic one-liners.

After her TV show, McEntire released several more successful albums like Reba Duets (2007), All the Women I Am (2010), Love Somebody (2015), Sing It Now: Songs of Faith & Hope (2017), and Stronger Than the Truth (2019).

On the television front, in addition to guest spots on Better With You, Baby Daddy, The Voice, and America's Got Talent, McEntire starred on the ABC sitcom Malibu Country, which was canceled after one season. She has a recurring role on the CBS show Young Sheldon, joined the cast of ABC's Big Sky for the crime drama's third season, and starred in a 2023 Lifetime TV movie, Reba McEntire's The Hammer.

JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Cheyenne)

Cheyenne, played by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, went through a great character arc over the six seasons, starting out as an absent-minded, narcissistic high school senior who got pregnant, and becoming more responsible and thoughtful as she got sober, raised a daughter with her high school sweetheart, and became an addiction counselor.

Since her turn on the show, Swisher has enjoyed a robust television career, booking lead roles on Privileged, Better With You, and The Astronaut Wives Club, and recurring roles on Gossip Girl, Royal Pains, The Mindy Project, and Once Upon a Time (as Ariel). She starred opposite Jason Ritter in the ABC comedy Kevin (Probably) Saves the World, and plays Maddie Townsend on the Netflix series Sweet Magnolias. She has been known professionally as JoAnna Garcia Swisher since marrying baseball player Nick Swisher in 2010.

Steve Howey (Van Montgomery)

Van Montgomery was the footballing goofball who, after being kicked out of his house for planning to marry a pregnant Cheyenne, moved in with her. Steve Howey played the character, and, since his Reba days, he's had supporting roles in Bride Wars (2009) and Conception (2011), as well as recurring roles on New Girl and Sons of Anarchy.

The most prolific of his roles, however, is dive bar owner Kevin Ball on Showtime's Shameless, a fan-favorite character that he played for 11 seasons. Following Shameless, Howey took on a starring role in the CBS drama series True Lies, an adaptation of the 1994 film.

Christopher Rich (Brock Enroll Hart)

Reba's vain, golf-obsessed ex-husband Brock left her to marry his assistant at the beginning of the series.

Christopher Rich played the perpetually orange dentist, and, since then, has enjoyed regular TV work. He has booked recurring roles on Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, and Melissa & Joey, and has been staying busy working in film with a string of B movies.

Melissa Peterman (Barbra Jean Hart)

Brock left Reba for Barbra Jean, the wacky, gullible dental assistant. As the seasons went by, Barbra charmed her way from Reba's biggest annoyance to being her best friend.

Melissa Peterman played the comic character from 2001 to 2007, and, in the years since, Peterman booked roles on smaller sitcoms like Bob Saget's Surviving Suburbia, Rita Rocks, and Working Class, which she led opposite Ed Asner.

Peterman played the equally zany Bonnie Wheeler on the Freeform series Baby Daddy during its six-season run. Like McEntire, she has a recurring role on Young Sheldon, reuniting with her costar again in Reba McEntire's The Hammer.

Scarlett Pomers (Kyra Hart)

Scarlett Pomers played the witty, grounded middle child Kyra, who liked to tease her younger brother Jacob and brother-in-law Van.

Pomers hasn't taken on any onscreen acting roles since Reba ended in 2007, but she did lead the band SCARLETT, which released an EP in 2010 called Insane.

Mitch Holleman (Jacob Hart)

Jacob was the innocent, youngest Hart sibling, who, for the majority of the series, was oblivious to the family conflict surrounding him.

Mitch Holleman played the adorable little boy, and, since the show ended in 2007, has booked a few small roles in TV shows and films like The Hangover (2009) and Shake It Up (2010). From 2009 to 2021, he cohosted a podcast called Extremely Internet.
