Before Willie and Korie Robertson took the Duck Commander to a whole new level, it was Phil and Kay who handled most of the things at the home base. The mother of Alan, Jase, Willie, and Jep Robertson, Kay Robertson is often credited for the change fans have seen in Phil Robertson. Commonly referred to as Miss Kay, Kay has stuck by her husband’s side since her early teens. And, at 72, Kay has been through all the ups and downs of a marriage that one could think of. Despite all her struggles and dark days, Kay raised the next generation of Robertsons and is still an integral part of the family. In this article, we will take a closer look at the wiki-bio of Kay Robertson.
Kay Robertson, also known as Miss Kay, is an American television personality who is best known for her appearances on the A&E reality series Duck Dynasty. She is the wife of Phil Robertson, the founder of Duck Commander, a company that makes duck calls and hunting merchandise. Kay Robertson has a net worth of USD 15 million.
Early life & Marriage:
Marsha Kay Carroway Robertson was born on the 21st of December, 1950. Born and raised in West Monroe, Louisiana, little is known about Kay’s early life and the reality star has kept her silence on the details. Kay was a cheerleader and a debutante during her high school years. She met Phil when she was 14 and he was 16, and they started dating in 1964. They got married two years later, when she was either 16 or 17, and had their first son, Alan, soon after. Phil was a star quarterback at Louisiana Tech University, but he quit football to pursue his passion for hunting and fishing. The pair’s second child Jase Robertson was born on the 16th of August, 1969, and was followed by Willie Robertson who was born on the 22nd of April, 1972. The pair’s youngest son, Jep Robertson, was born on the 28th of May, 1978.
Struggles, Duck Commander, and other things:
When Phil decided to start up Duck Commander, Kay supported her husband wholeheartedly and the pair soon opened their doors to duck hunters across Louisianna. He invented his own patented duck call and founded Duck Commander in 1972. And while the business prospered over the years, Kay’s personal life was far from ideal. Kay struggled with alcoholism and infidelity, which caused Kay to suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts. She struggled to keep up with Phil’s antics, over the years and fell back on faith to help her through a tough time in their marriage. Phil became a Christian after hearing the gospel from a traveling preacher in mid 1975s. He then devoted his life to spreading the word of God and making duck calls. Kay supported him and raised their four sons. Kay believes that her faith in Christ has helped her marriage and has changed Phil for the better.
“Christ has meant everything to our marriage. It was my commitment to Christ and the words from my grandmother that made me stick with Phil when there wasn’t much to hold on to. How has Phil changed? Do you have a year to hear about it? His love for the outdoors, his pioneer spirit, and his quest for adventure has not changed. But his heart has been turned inside out. He’s a new man in every way that involves relationships.”
