“My Valentine. (And Paige! 😂❤️)” Ree wrote.

“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 wrote on social media back in September, to celebrate her anniversary with Ladd. “That whole ‘love’ thing — the love that deepens, expands, and becomes more firmly rooted over time — is definitely there.”

The Food Network star regularly gives fans a look inside her family dynamic and Oklahoma ranch on Instagram, from cozypajama-clad family photostobehind-the-scenes clipsof her self-shot cooking show. And she’s pulled back the door on her marriage too, just last week sharing a video of Ladd after Ree helped him pull his car out of the mud.
“I got stuck in the pond,” Ladd said. “[I] was trying to put my front tires in to break the ice and because I don’t have mud tires, my feet tend to get stuck fairly easy. I got a little too far in the pond.”
Cutting him off, Ree had one important question: “Who did you call to come rescue you?”
“The most capable person I know,” Ladd said, after a big laugh. “I knew you’d come help me.”
“Good answer!” Ree said. “That’s all you need to say! Bye!”

Alex alsosent her dad love on social mediain January for his birthday.
“My dad (Laddy Daddy as we like to call him) has always been the most present, involved, and committed father to my siblings and me,” Alex wrote. “He never thought twice about driving me to a soccer game (and was ALWAYS at least an hour and a half early)! He taught me the value of hard work, honesty, generosity, and strong faith in God … He hasn’t always had the easiest go at things, and has faced some loss and hardship throughout his life. But he never fails to show up for the people around him.”
“I guess my dad’s birthday just feels different after the year he’s been through, and I am just feeling extra thankful for him,” Alex added. “Hug the dads in your life!”
