Ree Drummond is a grandma!
The celebrity food writer and TV personality, 55, revealed that her daughter Alex Drummond Scott just welcomed her first baby with husband Mauricio Scott.
“Our first baby had her first baby. ❤️ Thank you Lord, we will never be the same,” Drummond, aka “The Pioneer Woman,” wrote in an Instagram post on Dec. 18.
She shared a photo of herself cradling the new arrival alongside her husband, Ladd Drummond.
The proud grandmother also revealed the baby’s name in her Instagram stories: Sofia.
Drummond Scott, 27, announced the news on Instagram as well, sharing a carousel of black-and-white photos of her new family of three.
“She’s here 🕊️ December 18th 2024,” the new mom wrote in the caption. “At 2:27am our perfect girl made her arrival a couple weeks early, just in time for Christmas! We are so in love and forever changed. Thank you Lord.”
