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.”

The reality star who is best known for her appearances in the TV series Duck Dynasty is just as good at cooking ducks as her husband is at hunting them. As a young kid, Kay spent most of her early life with her grandmother and it was her grandmother who first taught Kay the ins and outs of a kitchen. Now, Kay loves to cook and has even roped Phil into cooking.
“My Nannie always seemed to be cooking in the kitchen. If someone was sick or had a death in the family, Nannie was the first one to take a comforting dish of food to them. Now as I pass my love of cooking down to my grandchildren, I make sure to wrap our cooking in my unconditional love for them.”
Kay is known for her Southern cuisine and her love of feeding her family and friends. She often uses ingredients from her local area, such as duck, crawfish, and pecans. She also likes to make desserts, such as pies, cakes, and cookies. She has a warm and friendly personality that makes her cooking appealing and enjoyable. She is the author of the cookbook Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen: Faith, Family, and Food–Bringing Our Home to Your Table, which features more than 100 recipes from her family and friends, as well as stories and photos from their life in Louisiana.

Accident and Injuries:
In 2021, Kay was bitten by her family dog Bobo on the mouth while she was trying to kiss him goodnight. The bite was so severe that it split her top lip in two and took a chunk out of her bottom lip.
