Duck Dynasty‘s Al Robertson shared an update on his mom and the show’s matriarch, Kay Robertson. It should come as a huge relief to fans who’ve been praying for her health.
“She’s doing amazing,” Al said on an episode of the family’s Unashamed podcast this week. “She seems to have turned a corner and is doing really good.”
Miss Kay, who is 77 years old, has dealt with her fair share of health challenges in the past years, especially since the death of her husband, Phil Robertson.
The family has kept fans posted on how she’s doing, and some of those updates have been difficult.
How is Duck Dynasty‘s Kay Robertson Doing Now?
In their latest update on their mom, Al and Jase Robertson say that Kay was able to attend the family’s Thanksgiving celebration “in full regalia.”
“She was excited, happy,” Al recounted.
Miss Kay is also getting ready to make a big, positive change in her living situation. The Robertsons say that she’s preparing to move into her own space. That comes after months of living with help, first at a care facility following a fall and surgery in early 2025, and then with her family members.
“We’re super excited about that,” Al continues. “And thank you for the prayers.”
