In a deeply emotional and unexpected update shared moments ago, the family of Willie Robertson has released a heartfelt message concerning the rapidly declining health of his mother, Kay Robertson, following the recent loss of her beloved husband, Phil Robertson.
According to multiple reports documenting her health struggles over the past several months, Kay — affectionately known to fans as “Miss Kay” — has faced ongoing physical challenges, including falls and related complications. Since Phil Robertson’s death in May 2025, her condition has reportedly worsened, with family members previously noting both physical frailty and emotional strain following the loss of her life partner of nearly six decades.
In the statement released by Willie and his siblings, the family described Kay’s health as “fragile and rapidly declining”, reflecting a challenging new chapter for the Robertson household. Although the update did not go into specific medical detail, the emotional tone underscored the seriousness of her condition. The family asked for continued prayers and respect for their privacy as they navigate this difficult period together.
In earlier public comments from mid-2025, Willie had described Kay’s health challenges with transparency, including admitting that she struggled emotionally after Phil’s passing — a grief that aggravated her overall health picture. At one point, he shared that she was “not in the best of health,” and that the loss of her husband had taken a clear toll on her well-being.
The weight of that grief was widely understood by fans who remember Kay as the steady heart of the Robertson family throughout their years on the hit series Duck Dynasty, where she was beloved for her warmth, hospitality, and devotion to family.
Tonight’s news deepens concern among those who have followed the family’s journey — from their rise to fame to the very real, very personal struggles that have followed. The Robertson family’s openness about Kay’s condition serves both as a plea for compassion and as a reminder of the profound human experience behind public figures.
If any further verified updates are released by the family or their representatives, they are expected to be shared through official channels. For now, Kay Robertson remains in the thoughts and prayers of fans around the world as her family stands by her side.
