Just one hour ago in West Monroe, Louisiana, Rebecca Robertson, daughter of Willie Robertson, shared an urgent and emotional update regarding the health of Kay Robertson, beloved matriarch of the Duck Dynasty family.
At 77 years old, Miss Kay has long been the gentle, faith-filled heart of the Robertson clan. But according to Rebecca, her condition has recently changed—and the family is asking for prayers, privacy, and continued support.
Rebecca’s message followed an emotional family tribute honoring the life and legacy of Phil Robertson, who passed away earlier this year. The tribute, held privately with close family, brought back powerful memories and stirred deep emotions—especially for Kay, who shared over five decades of marriage with Phil.
“Today was hard,” Rebecca wrote. “We honored Dad, remembered the laughter, the lessons, the love—and we saw Mom’s heart break all over again. She’s been so strong, but her body is tired. Her spirit is heavy.”
While Kay’s specific condition has not been publicly disclosed, Rebecca confirmed that she is under close care at home, surrounded by family and receiving regular medical attention. What concerns the family now, Rebecca says, is the toll that emotional grief has taken on Miss Kay’s physical health.
“Grief doesn’t always show up as tears,” she shared. “Sometimes it comes as silence, or sleep, or a fading spark in the eyes of someone who gave so much of themselves for so long.”
Those who’ve followed the Robertson family through their hit television series and public faith journey know that Kay and Phil’s love was a cornerstone of their story—a story marked by transformation, redemption, and unwavering devotion to one another.
Friends close to the family say that Kay has good days and hard days, but the emotional weight of Phil’s absence has changed her.
“She misses him in ways words can’t describe,” one family member said. “They were a team through everything. Now, it’s just different. And we’re all doing our best to surround her with the love she always gave us.”
Rebecca’s post ended with a message not just to fans, but to all who’ve ever admired Kay’s strength and grace.
“She’s still with us. She’s still fighting. And we believe in the power of prayer. Please lift her up. For everything she’s been to our family, and to yours.”
As news of Kay’s fragile condition spreads, an outpouring of love and prayers is already flooding social media, with fans sharing their favorite Miss Kay moments—her cooking, her laughter, her deep faith, and her unwavering support of her family.
One thing remains certain: Kay Robertson is loved beyond measure, and her legacy—like Phil’s—continues to live on in the hearts of millions.
Updates will be shared as the family feels ready. In the meantime, they are asking for kindness, compassion, and quiet support.
