Miss Kay Robertson’s health has improved following her depression after ‘Duck Dynasty’ patriarch Phil’s death, with son Willie sharing she’s now traveling and filming again.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Willie Robertson and his wife Korie explained that Miss Kay was a bit depressed after the loss of her husband. The former couple were together for over 60 years.
Phil died on May 25 after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. He was 79.
In June, Willie announced that Miss Kay’s health was declining shortly after Phil’s death.
‘Duck Dynasty’ star Willie Robertson shares that Miss Kay’s health is now back on track, signaling a positive turnaround for her after a difficult period. She is now traveling and participating in filming again, which is a significant development for her.
The health decline of Miss Kay first came to light in April when her son Jase Robertson shared on the ‘Unashamed with the Robertson Family’ podcast that she had suffered a fall and developed an infection that required hospitalization. Jase said, ‘We were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it,’ indicating the severity of the situation.
Kay was notably absent from the ‘Duck Dynasty: The Revival’ premiere party on June 1, hosted in Monroe, Louisiana. However, recent updates indicate that she will be making an appearance in the second season of the revival series. The Robertsons are currently filming, and the second season is expected to debut early next year.
A&E announced earlier this year that the hit show would be revived eight years after it aired its final episode. The original series aired for 11 seasons from 2012-17, peaking at 11.8 million viewers per A&E.
Willie shared that Kay leaned into her faith to get through Phil’s passing, noting, ‘We were just happy knowing that he’s gone on to be with the Lord,’ and ‘Phil was bigger than life. He leaves a big void, for sure,’ which highlights the profound impact of Phil’s death on the family.
Korie also contributed, stating, ‘She’s been with us for a few things that we’ve been filming this week. So that’s been really special. And, you know, that’s a special part about our show. We feel like it’s just getting to do it with our family and getting to spend that time together.’ This sentiment underscores the importance of family life and shared experiences in the show’s dynamic.
With Kay now recovering and back in the spotlight, the family’s resilience and unity remain a central theme in their ongoing story, particularly in the revival of the beloved series.
