Ree Drummond and Ladd Drummond — Together For 24 Years
Marrying her husband has opened a lot of doors for The Pioneer Lady Ree Drummond. Her husband, Ladd Drummond, who Ree affectionately calls her Marlboro Man, comes from a family of ranchers and went into the family business himself. The idea of being a rancher’s wife inspired Ree so much that she decided to start a blog about it.

This blog won her the Weblog of the Year award three times in a row, with her cooking being particularly popular. This has led to her getting her own Food Network show, and she has also written an array of cookbooks under the name The Pioneer Woman Cooks.
