Happy belated anniversary,Ree Drummond!
ThePioneer Womanstar may have missed her wedding anniversary with her husband,Ladd Drummond, but she made up for it with agushy post on Instagram.
You can’t exactly blame her for the mishap. Ree and Ladd, who celebrated22 years of marriageon Sept. 21, are parents tofour children, Alex, 21, Paige, 18, Bryce, 16, and Todd, 14.
They also sufferedthe loss of Ladd’s mother Nanthis past summer. Because they were filming her hit Food Network show at the time of her passing, Ree decided to dedicate an episode showing the days that followed.
“Ladd and I thought about it and said, ‘Look, we can either completely pretend this didn’t happen on the show and just not acknowledge it at all, or we can show what’s really going on,” she said in a heartfelt blog post.

“It brought back the memories of the sadness that we all were experiencing when my mother-in-law died,” she said. “We were ultimately so glad that we decided to pay tribute to her on one of our episodes because she’s been on the show since 2011. And there are a lot of people that got to know her and love her.”
Through good times and bad, Ree and Ladd have formed alasting marriage, something they credit to a shared faith.
“This isn’t the answer for everybody, but we go to church together every Sunday,” she told PEOPLE in 2017. “It’s something that we do no matter what comes up. No matter how tired we are. I’ve seen the times that we’ve slipped away from that, and disaster is lurking in the bushes.”
And if they do have a scuffle, they have a little nightly ritual to make things right. “We don’t go to sleep in each other’s arms—we like our space—but our feet always touch,” she says. “I know that if our feet touch before we go to sleep at night, we’re not going to bed upset or angry. If we’ve had a little disagreement, as long as our feet touch, it’s all good.”
