They raised four sons—Alan, Jason “Jase,” Willie, and Jep. Phil also has a daughter, Phyllis, from an affair in the 1970s.
In December 2024, the family shared Phil’s early Alzheimer’s diagnosis. His health was top of mind as filming began for Duck Dynasty: The Revival, which debuted in June 2025.
“It’s been a struggle for all of us,” Korie Robertson said on the show. She added that, though he wouldn’t say it, Phil’s decline pushed Willie to think hard about his own legacy.
