Pioneer woman star Ree Drummond recently opened up about her foster son, Jamar, who is now 18.

“That’s really the first time that I’ve introduced Jamar to the world,” the celebrity chef said, referencing his inclusion in her new book of essays, Frontier Follies. “He’s been living with us for about a year and a half.”

Drummond said: “[Fostering] wasn’t really anything my husband and I sought out to do or necessarily felt called to do.”

However, the couple is excited about their life with Jamar and his future. “He’s basically been a full-fledged part of our family for over a year and a half,” Drummond said.

Although Jamar lived with Drummond’s family for over a year, she noted that she had to avoid a public announcement “because of regulations with the state agencies.”

Drummond continued: “Also, I was pretty protective of him, and I didn’t want to just suddenly put him on my social media and put him in the public life.

He’s 18 now and he started sort of saying ‘I feel like you’re hiding me from the world,’ so once he turned 18, I felt like it was time to share and he’s very happy to have his story told.”
