What happened to the Duck Dynasty cast? See the Robertson family, then and now

Willie and Korie Robertson

Willie is the CEO of Duck Commander, which often makes him the reluctant cat-herder of his large and fractious family. He and his wife Korie have six children — Rebecca, John Luke, Sadie, Bella, Will, and Rowdy — and seven grandchildren. They still live in West Monroe, La.

After Duck Dynasty ended, Willie reopened his restaurant, Willie's Duck Diner, in West Monroe in September 2017. The menu featured dishes named after family members, including Missy's Duck Bites and Phil's Swamp Catch. It closed in early 2019. 

Meanwhile, Korie has released several books over the years, including the parenting guide Strong and Kind. She often co-authors with other family members, including her mother, Chrys Howard. 

In 2021, Willie appeared incognito as the Mallard on Fox's The Masked Singer. The same year, Willie and Korie released a Facebook Watch talk show, At Home with the Robertsons, which lasted for 16 episodes. In 2024, Willie put out his own book, Gospeler: Turning Darkness Into Light One Conversation at a Time, about his journey to find his faith.

Phil Robertson

Phil and Kay are the great-grandparents of the Robertson clan. Phil was the founder of the Duck Commander company. He and Kay have been married for over 50 years. 

After Duck Dynasty’s early seasons established the show as a hit, Phil made headlines with controversial comments in GQ about race and homosexuality. A&E briefly suspended him from the show, but fan backlash prompted the network to reinstate him. 

Once Duck Dynasty ended, Phil began his own show, In the Woods with Phil, produced by Blaze Media for the Conservative Review online TV platform. In 2019, Phil began a podcast about Christianity, Unashamed With Phil Robertson, along with his sons Al and Jase. The podcast is still going strong, now called Unashamed With the Robertson Family. 

The clan has continued to grow, sometimes in unexpected ways. In 2020, Phil was surprised to discover he'd fathered a daughter decades ago. He happily embraced Phyllis Thomas, and the family welcomed her into the fold.

Phil recently got the biopic treatment. The Blind (2023), which counts Willie and Korie among its producers, explores Phil's younger years during the 1960s, including his past struggles with alcohol and infidelity.

The Robertson family announced in December 2024 that Phil had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Kay Robertson

Fans know "Miss Kay" as the sweet-natured, level-headed matriarch of the Robertsons, always happily cooking for her large and hungry family. In 2013, she published a cookbook, Miss Kay's Duck Commander Kitchen. For a few years, she also ran a restaurant and bakery in West Monroe, Miss Kay’s Sweets and Eats, with a lunch menu featuring her famous pies. The establishment has since permanently closed. 

Kay was bitten by her dog Bobo in 2021, resulting in injuries to her mouth and lips. She was able to recover from the incident.

Jase and Missy Robertson

Jase is Willie's younger brother, a good-natured but headstrong troublemaker tasked with fine-tuning duck calls and inventing new ones at Duck Commander. Jase and Missy have been married since 1990, and they have three kids: Reed, Cole, and Mia. 

Surprisingly, after the show ended in 2017, Jase shaved off his famous beard. He did it to raise money for charity, the Mia Moo Fund, named after his daughter Mia. The organization helps spread awareness about those with cleft lips and palates. 

Jase has kept busy with several spinoff projects. He co-hosts the Unashamed podcast, alongside his father and brother Al, and stars in Fox Nation’s reality series Duck Family Treasure (2022–present), searching for buried riches with a metal detector.

As for Missy, she has launched several businesses over the years, including a jewelry line, Laminin by Missy Robertson, and a clothing line. In 2018, she and Mia published four books for young readers in Faithgirlz’s Princess in Camo series. 

Missy and Jase now run a bed-and-breakfast and event venue called Logtown Estate, in Ouachita Parish, La.

Si Robertson

Si is Phil's unforgettable younger brother, a wise-cracking scamp who became one of the show's most popular figures. Si is married to Christine; together they have a daughter, Trasa, and a son, Scott. 

In 2016, Si starred in a short-lived spinoff series, Going Si-ral, in which he shared his thoughts on current viral videos. The show lasted for two months. He's also expressed his musical talents, releasing a six-song EP, Me and My Smokin' Hot Honey, in 2014. A few years later, Si formed a country music trio, Uncle Si & the Sicotics, with his daughters-in-law Marsha Robertson and Bridgette Tatum.

Si shared his life experience in a 2016 memoir, Si-renity: How I Stay Calm and Keep the Faith. Since 2020, he has co-hosted the Duck Call Room podcast with Duck Commander co-workers John Godwin and Justin Martin.

Jep Robertson

Jep Robertson is Phil and Kay's youngest son, who filmed the family duck hunts for their line of Duckmen DVDs. He is married to Jessica, and they have five children: Lily, Merrit, Priscilla, River, and an adopted son, Gus. 

In 2015, he and Jessica published a shared memoir, The Good, the Bad and the Grace of God. Jep opened up about several painful areas in his past, including being molested as a child by an older student. He also wrote about his past addiction to drugs and online porn, which almost broke his marriage. His family staged an intervention that has helped him remain sober. 

The couple launched a spinoff series, Jep & Jessica: Growing the Dynasty (2016–2017). The second season followed the family as they moved to Austin, Tex., and set their sights on opening a pot-pie food truck business. In 2018, Jep's Southern Roots officially opened in nearby Dripping Springs.

Recently, Jep costarred in Jase's Fox Nation series, Duck Family Treasure.

John Luke Robertson

John Luke, Willie and Korie's eldest son, was 16 years old when Duck Dynasty began, and fans have since watched him graduate from Liberty University and start a family of his own. John Luke married Mary Kate McEacharn in 2015, and the couple have three children, John, Ella, and Wells. 

In 2016, John Luke wrote a book, Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose and a Meaningful Life. Since then, he's become the camp director at Camp Ch-Yo-Ca in Calhoun, La.

Sadie Robertson

Sadie Robertson is Willie and Korie's eldest daughter; she was 15 when the show began. She’s been one of the most active of the Robertson clan, writing best-selling books, hosting a podcast, and even popping up on the big screen.

In 2014, Sadie took the stage as a contestant in the 19th season of Dancing With the Stars, placing second with her partner Mark Ballas. 

Sadie's first book, Live Original: How the Duck Commander Teen Keeps It Real and Stays True to Her Values, was released in 2014 and led to the creation of her Live Original brand, which is founded on spreading her faith. She followed with further books in the series, including Live Fearless and Live. She also published a YA novel, Life Just Got Real, in 2016, which was optioned for television in 2021. 

Sadie has appeared in the theatrical features I'm Not Ashamed (2016) and God's Not Dead 2 (2016), as well as the TV movie Sun, Sand & Romance (2017). In 2018, she began the WHOA That's Good podcast about faith and self-improvement.

She married Christian Huff in 2019, and they have two daughters, Honey and Haven.
