“Twenty five years ago, Ladd and I got married,” she began her caption. “It’s been a wild adventure, and we’ve experienced the joys, pains, ups, downs, triumphs, sadnesses, and unexpected twists and turns. (And kids! 🤓).”
Ree continued, “That whole ‘love’ thing—the love that deepens, expands, and becomes more firmly rooted over time—is definitely there.”
Referring to the final photo in her post, which only features Ladd, Ree wrote, “but if you wanna see what’s really kept me going all these years, just swipe to the last pic. Can it really be that simple? Well, some days, yes! 🔥😂 I love you, Ladd.”
Bryce Drummond, one of Ree and Ladd’s five children, even chimed in, commenting, “the rents” on his mom’s post.
Along with Bryce, 19, Ree and Ladd are parents to daughtersAlex, 24, andPaige, 21, and sonTodd, 17, and foster sonJamar, 18.

Ree’s post comes after she and her husband had an especially emotional year when he was injured in aserious fire truck accidentwith her nephew in March. Ladd and Caleb Drummond collided in separate vehicles as they were attempting to put out a blaze on the family’s Oklahoma farm, leaving Ladd with abroken neckand sending Caleb to the hospital in critical condition.
While Ladd has madesignificant progressin the months since, Ree gave anemotional tributeto her husband on Father’s Day in which she mentioned some of his biggest “fatherhood moments” of the past year.
“Ladd watching Alex dance with her new husband. Ladd seeing Bryce off to college. Ladd patting Jamar on the back as he signs his letter of intent,” she wrote.
“Just a handful of fatherhood moments for my fella this year…and what a year it’s been,” Ree added. “Happy Father’s Day, Ladd. So glad you’re here, alive, whole…and all that good stuff. ❤️.”
Ree and Ladd saw their eldest daughter, Alex, get married earlier this year, and Ree offered her own marriage philosophy ahead ofAlex’s May wedding.
“Although we’re told marriage is a 50/50 thing, I’ve found that approaching it as 100/100 is even better,” Drummond said in aPioneer Woman Magazinestory. “There will be times when one of you can’t bring or give as much to the marriage as the other, whether because of illness, fatigue, stress…and during those times, it’s good to think of it as 100/100 so you can fill in each other’s gaps.”
