Former reality TV star Ryan Sutter has addressed the cryptic Mother's Day posts he shared on Instagram, clarifying that he and his wife Trista Sutter are 'great' despite her temporary absence from their family. Ryan explained that Trista is currently in a phase of self-discovery and that an opportunity has arisen that may aid her in her quest. The couple recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary and shares two children together. Ryan's Instagram posts on Mother's Day hinted that Trista was spending the day away from him and their children, but he emphasized that his intention was not to deceive or mislead anyone. Trista's current whereabouts are unknown, and the couple was last seen together in public in January at a wedding. Trista and Ryan first met on season 1 of The Bachelorette in 2003 [761c28b2].
