Not even a family bombshell can break up this dynasty.
Back in 2020, Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson discovered that he fathered a daughter from an affair he had decades ago. A DNA test showed he was a 99.9 percent match with Phyllis Thomas, leading the family—including Phil’s adult sons Willie Robertson, Jase Robertson, Give Robertson, and Alan Robertson—to welcome her into the fold.
So, where do they all stand with Phyllis today? According to Sadie Robertson and Corey Robertson, who is Phil’s granddaughter and daughter-in-law respectively, the family is closer than ever.
In fact, Sadie exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker that she recently caught up with Phyllis during a lunch date. “It was so good,” she said. “I was just sitting with her like, ‘This is so crazy! I’m talking to my aunt that I didn’t know for so long, but now you’re my dad’s sister.'”
The 26-year-old continued, “It’s such a beautiful thing that we get to have this relationship.”
The revelation of Phil Robertson’s secret daughter caused shockwaves throughout the family and the public. However, the Robertsons have shown their commitment to love and acceptance, proving that no family secrets can break their bond.
Since the news broke, the family has openly embraced Phyllis and made efforts to develop a strong relationship with her. The Robertson family, known for their strong Christian faith, has always emphasized the importance of forgiveness and second chances.
Phyllis’s integration into the family has been seamless, with the Robertson siblings welcoming her with open arms. The siblings, who have built a successful business empire with their reality TV show Duck Dynasty, have showcased the power of familial love and unity.
Sadie Robertson, who gained fame through her appearance on Dancing with the Stars, expressed her joy at the newfound relationship with her aunt. She highlighted the uniqueness of the situation but also emphasized the beauty and significance of the bond they now share.
The Robertson family’s ability to overcome hurdles and maintain their strong family unit serves as an inspiration to many. In a world where family dramas often tear relationships apart, the Robertsons have demonstrated the power of forgiveness and acceptance.
As time goes on, it is clear that the Robertson dynasty will only continue to grow and thrive, becoming stronger with each new addition to their family. The bond between Phil Robertson and his newfound daughter Phyllis serves as a reminder that love can conquer all, even the most shocking revelations.
