Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond Celebrates 29th Anniversary with Husband Ladd

Ree Drummond and her husband, Ladd, are celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary — and they have big plans for their next one.

The Pioneer Woman star, 56, shared a photo of the couple kissing to mark the special occasion, followed by a throwback snap from their 1996 nuptials, in an Instagram post on Sunday, Sept. 21.

“It’s just our 29th, so we aren’t too worked up that we’re in separate states today 🤓…but God willing and the creek don’t rise, we’ll be somewhere in Europe for our 30th,” she wrote. “We had to shake on it recently, because we know our homebody selves too well and something always comes up. (Where should we go?)”

“BTW, swipe right to see us as babies,” she added. “If those two kids only knew what was ahead… ❤️👶🐮🤪🌩️🐶🌪️😍🎥🐴🤠… “

The Food Network personality concluded the caption, “Happy anniversary Honey (and thank you to Earth, Wind, and Fire, too. 😊) WHAT A RIDE, MAN!!!”

The couple’s oldest daughter, Alex Drummond Scott, 28, was among the many commenters to wish them a happy anniversary.

“❤️❤️🥲 happy anni!!!! From your honeymoon baby 😂,” she wrote.

In addition to Alex, Ree and Ladd are parents to daughter Paige, 26, and sons Bryce, 23, and Todd, 21. In 2018, the family also welcomed a foster son, Jamar, now 22.

Ree and Ladd became grandparents when Alex and husband Mauricio Scott welcomed a daughter named Sofia, their first child, on Dec. 18, 2024. Ree has embraced her new role in the nine months since, posting frequent updates on her granddaughter.

The family had another reason to celebrate earlier this year, when Paige and David Andersen, a construction engineer, tied the knot on the Drummond ranch in Pawhuska, Okla., in May.

Ree revealed her low-key date night tradition with Ladd, 56, in a blog post on her website last month. 

“At the risk of sounding like an old married couple,” Ree said, “we love to take drives together.”

“There’s something about the peace of the pickup,” Ree noted. “That diesel engine is like background music, and we are focused only on each other. No laptops, devices, TVs — it’s such a great time to catch up.”

She explained that their destination is “different every time.” 

“Now that we’re empty nesters, it’s not like we don’t have lots of time alone at home already. But there’s something about the safety and sanctity of the pickup that sparks the very best conversations,” she said.
