Ree Drummond is giving fans a glimpse into her and her daughter Alex Drummond‘s dynamic.
On Thursday, the Pioneer Woman host shared a slew of photos to her Instagram Story, gushing over her 2-month-old granddaughter and Alex’s first baby, Sofia. Though this habit is nothing new, the confession she shared with the photos is.

“Sometimes when Alex sends me a cute, funny pic of Sofia…” the 56-year-old Food Network star began in her series of Feb. 20 Instagram Story posts. “I zoom in and send it back to her,” adding an example of her finest work.
“Then I do it again,” she revealed on the next slide, sharing yet another even more zoomed-in photo of the infant.
“Then I make it my wallpaper,” Ree shared, including a screenshot of the same photo set as the lock screen on her iPhone.

Ree even tagged Alex in every Story as if to prove she wasn’t lying.
Though Alex never responded, it’s not unlike these two to poke fun at their relationship — and themselves — for the enjoyment of fans online.
About two weeks ago, Ree publicly responded to a bold claim from Alex that insinuated the cookbook author was having a hard time letting go of the newborn she welcomed with her husband, Mauricio Scott, shortly before the 2024 Christmas holidays.
“@thepioneerwoman is never letting us go back to Dallas,” Alex wrote in her Feb. 10 Instagram Story, to which her mom definitely agreed, reposting it to her own page and exclaiming, “Dallas schmallis!!!”
The Food Network star appears to be just as close with her other daughter, Paige, regularly keeping fans in the loop on her biggest life updates now that she’s engaged and planning a wedding.
Ree also shares two other biological children — sons Bryce and Todd – and one adopted son, Jamar, with her husband of nearly 29 years, Ladd.
