The Pioneer Woman's Strange Marriage

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Friday, May 3, 2024

Ree Drummond fell in love with Ladd Drummond at first sight, according to the juicy details she shared in an issue of The Pioneer Woman Magazine (via Yahoo! Sports). They met at a bar. "He was tall, strong and mysterious, sipping bottled beer and wearing jeans and cowboy boots," she said. After staring him down for "a few minutes," she struck up a conversation, but he had to leave the bar early to "cook Christmas turkeys for some folks in his small town."

She expected him to call her, but Ladd played it cool. "Nor did he call that day, or week, or month. Throughout that time, I allowed myself to remember his eyes, his biceps, his quiet manner. Disappointment would wash over me," she lamented. Finally, four months later, Ladd made her hotline bling, and the rest is history. So what took him so long to finally dial her digits? 

A blog reader asked that same question, and Ree replied, "I know the answer. But I'm going to let him tell you." Was there another pioneer woman in the picture, or did he lose his cell somewhere on his 433,000 acres of land? Your guess is as good as ours.
