During an interview with People magazine, Ree shared that they make sure to touch toes after a fight. This way they know everything is OK between them.
It can be tough to get back to normal after having an argument with your significant other. If Ree and Ladd have a disagreement, they patch things up by doing one special thing. The Pioneer Woman told People she and Ladd make sure their feet touch when they’re in bed. It’s a way for them to reconnect, assure each other things are OK, and express love.
“We don’t go to sleep in each other’s arms—we like our space—but our feet always touch,” says Ree. “I know that if our feet touch before we go to sleep at night, we’re not going to bed upset or angry. If we’ve had a little disagreement, as long as our feet touch, it’s all good.”
