When did Ladd and Ree Drummond get married? Relationship explored as husband calls blogger "the most capable person"

Ree Drummond's husband was in awe of her when she came to rescue him out of a situation.

On February 4, the Food Network blogger shared a video on Instagram featuring her husband where he explained how she helped him get his car out of the mud.

In the clip, filmed as he drove them on their Oklahoma ranch, Ladd Drummond revealed that his car got stuck in a pond.

"[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."

Ree cut him off during the conversation and asked whom he called for rescue. To this, the 53-year-old said with a big laugh:

"The most capable person I know. I knew you'd come help me."

Ree Drummond and Ladd first met at a local dive in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, when Ree moved back from Los Angeles for a few months before relocating to Chicago.

Aside from the four children, Ree Drummond and Ladd also foster a boy named Jamar. As per the blog, she said:

The Drummond kids range from 17 to 23.
