Ree Drummond, the beloved star of The Pioneer Woman, has officially become a grandmother. Her daughter, Alex Drummond Scott, has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Sofia Marie, with her husband, Mauricio Scott. The exciting news was shared on December 18, 2024, when Alex and Mauricio welcomed their little one into the world, marking a significant milestone for the Drummond family.
A Christmas Miracle: Sofia Marie Arrives Early
At 2:27 a.m. on December 18, Alex, 27, and Mauricio, 26, became parents to a healthy baby girl, who arrived a few weeks ahead of her expected due date. The couple shared their joy on social media, posting a series of intimate black-and-white photos capturing their first moments with Sofia. In their heartfelt Instagram post, the new parents expressed their overwhelming love and gratitude.
“At 2:27 a.m., our perfect girl made her arrival a couple of weeks early, just in time for Christmas! We are so in love and forever changed,” they wrote. “Thank you, Lord.”
For Ree Drummond, this marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as a grandmother. In a celebratory post on her Pioneer Woman website, Ree shared her happiness and admiration for her new granddaughter, calling Sofia “perfect” in a heartfelt message.
“I’m saying that with as much objectivity as I can,” Ree humorously wrote. “But I’m not kidding… she is perfect. Like, if you looked up ‘perfect’ in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it would reference Sofia Scott, and maybe even show a photo of her. Although that would probably technically be an encyclopedia entry.”
The Family Celebration: A Joyous Baby Shower
The anticipation leading up to Sofia’s birth was marked by a joyful baby shower in October, where Alex and Mauricio celebrated their impending parenthood with family and friends. Alex shared glimpses of the event on Instagram, revealing a beautiful floral-themed gathering that highlighted the excitement surrounding their soon-to-arrive daughter. The post was filled with vibrant photos of the event, including Alex in a striking magenta and white floral dress, surrounded by loved ones who wore similar floral and pink ensembles.
“Yesterday was everything I could ever dream of celebrating our Sofia Marie,” Alex wrote in her Instagram caption, reflecting on the memorable day. “Praise the Lord for these wonderful women and so many more!” The celebration was filled with meaningful touches, such as a personalized gift basket adorned with Sofia’s initials.
In a separate post on her website, Ree also shared photos from the festive occasion, showing the attention to detail that went into making the shower extra special. She praised Alex’s college friends and her sister, Paige Drummond, for organizing the event.
“The finger foods, mimosa bar, petit fours, and lots of Dr. Pepper were all a hit,” Ree recalled fondly. “There was no shortage of delicious treats or good company.”
A Community of Love: Ree’s Support for Alex and Mauricio
For Ree, being a grandmother has been a dream come true, and she couldn’t be more thrilled for her daughter Alex as she embarks on this new journey of motherhood. Ree expressed her pride and joy on her blog, offering support and encouragement as Alex navigates the early days of parenting.
“I am so incredibly proud of Alex, and I know she and Mauricio are going to be amazing parents,” Ree wrote. “There’s no greater gift than the love a parent feels for their child, and I can see that Alex and Mauricio have that in abundance.”
As for Sofia’s arrival, Ree has shared that her first grandchild has already made an unforgettable impact on the entire Drummond family. From the moment Sofia entered the world, she has been showered with love and affection from her proud grandparents, aunt, and uncles.

“I can’t wait to spoil her with all the love and attention a grandmother can give,” Ree shared in a recent blog post. “It feels surreal to think of myself as a grandmother, but I am more than ready for this new chapter.”
As Sofia grows, Ree will no doubt continue to document her experiences as a grandmother on her website and social media platforms. The Drummond family’s bond is already stronger than ever, and fans of The Pioneer Woman will be following along every step of the way.
