Ryan Sutter is feeling grateful to be reunited with his wife, Trista.
On Sunday, the former reality star posted a sweet black-and-white photo of the two of them, along with their children, Maxwell, 16, and Blakesley, 15, vacationing in Mexico.
“They say absence makes the heart grow fonder…. We found out it’s true,” he wrote alongside the image. “It also makes the heart more grateful, more sympathetic, more appreciative for what someone does for you, with you, alongside of you.”
“It brings questions and wonder and worry and then answers and peace and celebration. It brought time for reflection, for projects, prayer and independence but mostly it brought joy at its conclusion. Real joy. And that’s really what it’s all about…”

Sutter ended the lengthy message by welcoming back his wife and including the hashtags, “#love #love #reunitedanditfeelssogood.”
The couple have been the subject of online speculation following a series of cryptic messages written by both Ryan and Trista.
Rumors began bubbling earlier this month when Ryan, 49, shared a message on Instagram suggesting that Trista wasn’t with the family to celebrate Mother’s Day.
“I know you wish you were here for Mother’s Day,” he wrote. “We wish you were too. But sometimes being a mom means letting go of their hands, granting independence and stimulating their courageous spirit.”
Last week, the firefighter attempted to clear up any misunderstanding writing that he posted “a message to my wife for a time when she could eventually read it.”
“She understood the context and so did I. No one else did however, and that’s where things went sideways. It was suggested that Trista had died, we were in trouble or that it must be a mid life crisis among many other creative ideas.”
Ryan confessed that it felt “weird” to be in the news again and “reminded me of how crazy life was and of how grateful I am for the life I have.”
Trista, 51, later defended her husband’s veiled notes with her own seemingly vague message on Saturday.
“Geez people. Can’t a girl have a nervous breakdown/trial separation/midlife crisis/death/divorce in peace around here?!
