The Cast of “Duck Dynasty”, 7 Years Later: Where the Robertsons Are Now — and How They’re Helping Phil After His Alzheimer's Diagnosis

The A&E show followed the Robertson family for 11 seasons until 2017

Duck Dynasty's five-year run on A&E may have ended, but the family dynasty lives on over seven years later.

The reality show followed members of the Robertson family, including Phil and Kay Robertson alongside three of their sons — Jase, Willie and Jep — several grandchildren and a few of their employees as they worked together at their family business, Duck Commander.

At the show’s peak in 2013, 11.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the season 4 premiere, making it the most-watched nonfiction series telecast in history, according to Entertainment Weekly. The long-running hit ended in 2017 after 11 seasons.

Since Duck Dynasty wrapped, the Robertson family has only grown, with many of the younger cast members starting their own families. Through the show’s subsequent spinoffs, including Going Si-Ral, Jep & Jessica: Growing the Dynasty, At Home with the Robertsons and Duck Family Treasure, fans have been able to keep up with reality TV stars.

Most recently, Jase announced that the Robertson patriarch, Phil, received a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and the family has been by his side.

Here’s what to know about the original cast of Duck Dynasty since the show ended.

Phil Robertson

Louisiana native Phil Robertson, the founder and president of the hunting company Duck Commander, started the family business in 1972 with a now-patented duck call.

In 2018, Phil launched his own podcast, Unashamed with Phil & Jase Robertson, with his sons Alan and Jase. The audio show was eventually renamed Unashamed with the Robertson Family in early 2024.

Phil and his wife, Kay, share four sons together: Alan, Jase, Willie and Jep. The Robertson patriarch discovered he was a father to an adult daughter named Phyllis in 2020, after having an affair in the '70s.

Most recently, Phil was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his son Jase revealed on Dec. 6. Jase shared that although his dad wanted to return to work on the podcast, he was still navigating his health.

"We’re trying to do a lot of things to figure out how to make him more comfortable and maybe help with his memory," he explained.

Shortly after, Phil thanked fans for their support.

Kay Robertson

Kay (born Marsha Kay Carroway Robertson) married Phil when she was 17 after she became pregnant with the couple’s first son, Alan.

During her 11 seasons on Duck Dynasty, Kay kept the Robertson men on the straight and narrow.

In 2016, she opened her own bakery, Miss Kay’s Sweets and Eats, with Alan and his daughter, Alex Mancuso, in her hometown of West Monroe, La., per USA Today. The bakery later closed its doors in 2020.

The following year, in June 2021, TMZ reported that Kay was rushed to the hospital after her dog, Bobo, bit her top and bottom lip. In a podcast episode that same month, Phil explained that Bobo bit Kay because she had scared him while he was sleeping.

“After she told the story, she reminded me it wasn't his fault. ... He was startled," he recalled.

Silas Merritt “Si” Robertson

Better known to fans as Uncle Si, Phil’s brother Silas Merritt “Si” Robertson made his way to Duck Dynasty after serving in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.

He was featured in all 11 seasons of the show’s five-year run, creating reeds for each of Duck Commander’s patented duck calls.

In 2016, Si landed his own A&E spinoff, Going Si-Ral, which ran on the network and featured the veteran reacting to viral videos from the internet. Two years later, he hit the road with his daughter-in-law, Marsha Robertson (who is married to Si’s son Scott), and singer-songwriter Bridgette Tatum to perform with their country band, Uncle Si & The Sicotics.

Si underwent surgery on his lungs in September 2022 after developing breathing difficulties that he attributed to smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and COVID-19 complications. He shared an update on Instagram after the procedure. “The doc says surgery went great,” he wrote. “I’m ready to get back at it, Jack!”

Since November 2020, Si has hosted the podcast Duck Call Room with Duck Commander employee Justin Martin. Si lives in West Monroe with his wife, Christine Robertson, whom he married in 1971. They share two kids, daughter Trasa and son Scott, and several grandkids.

Jason Silas “Jase” Robertson

Jason Silas “Jase” Robertson is Phil and Kay’s second son.

Jase displayed his stellar hunting skills during his Duck Dynasty run. He also shared a glimpse into his business prowess, running the manufacturing side of Duck Commander.

Jase joined his father Phil and brother Alan on the podcast, Unashamed, in 2018. Jase also started the business venture, Logtown Estate, with Missy in Monroe. The couple restored a 19th-century building to use as a wedding and event venue.

Four years later, Jase returned to reality TV as a cast member and a co-executive producer of Duck Family Treasure.

Jas and his wife, Missy, share three children: sons Reed and Cole, plus daughter Mia. In 2022, the couple also opened their home to a fourth child when a woman whom Jase had baptized gave birth while incarcerated and signed the child over to Missy when he was 2 days old, per an episode of Unashamed.

Melissa “Missy” Robertson

Melissa “Missy” Robertson married her husband Jase when she was 19 years old, according to A&E.

After appearing in all 11 seasons of the show, Missy renovated Logtown Estate with Jase and co-authored the Princess in Camo book series with Mia. The series is based on her daughter’s life.

Several years later, the West Monroe native released a children’s book of her own called Because You’re My Family through the conservative kids’ book publisher Brave Books.

Missy also appeared alongside Jase in several episodes of Duck Family Treasure in 2022.

Willie Robertson

Willie Jess Robertson has been the CEO of Duck Commander since 2002 and its offshoot Buck Commander since its inception in 2006. Willie was instrumental in expanding his family’s business into a multimillion-dollar empire.

He starred in every season of the hit show with his wife, Korie, and their children: Will Jr., John Luke, Sadie, Bella, Rebecca and Rowdy.

In 2013, the couple opened a restaurant called Willie’s Duck Diner. After the established closed its doors in 2019, Willie and Korie launched their Facebook Watch series At Home with the Robertsons two years later, in which they gave a closer look at their family post-Duck Dynasty.

The same year, in fall 2021, Willie competed on season 6 of The Masked Singer as the Mallard. Not long after, he collaborated with Korie again when they joined the producing team of His Story: The Musical, a “contemporary pop musical based on the life of Jesus,” according to Playbill.

When asked about a Duck Dynasty reunion in 2018, Willie told The News Star, "It's not in the works now, but you never know. I wouldn't rule it out."

Korie Robertson

Korie Robertson met Willie in the third grade at summer camp, and they married one year after graduating high school in 1992, according to A&E. At Duck Commander, she took on the role of officer manager.

The New York Times best-selling author has written and co-written 10 books. In 2021, Korie began hosting At Home with the Robertsons with Willie, which ran for several episodes.

Around the same time, she opened up about watching her daughter Sadie become a mom.

"The experience of watching your daughter give birth to her daughter...well, there are no words
