On Monday, August 3, Ree shared another post about her excitement for Alex’s next chapter. “Happiness! ❤️ ,” she wrote alongside a pic of the pair taken on Sunday, during which Ree smiles while holding onto Alex’s left hand. “I’m the mom who always indoctrinated her daughters not to get married until they were twenty-eight. Alex obviously listens to every word I say. 😂  I’m sure glad she didn’t, though, because we couldn’t love Mauricio more. The timing is perfect for them. Love is beautiful!❤️ .”

The Food Network star has been married to Ladd Drummond since 1996. In addition to Alex, the couple share daughter Paige, 20, and sons Bryce, 17, and Todd, 16.

Speaking to Cowboys & Indians for its January 2020 cover story, Ree opened up about how the dynamic in her household has changed since her two daughters went off to college. “There was an immediate difference in the culture of our house,” she explained at the time. “It was suddenly, very noticeably, a man cave, where ranching and football were (and still are!) the primary focus.”

She continued, “So I’ve definitely had to fight to keep the female strength and energy flowing around here … while also learning to appreciate the quiet spans of time in the Drummond house, which allows me a new avenue for creativity and focus.”
