Duck Dynasty‘s Robertson family lives life without apology in the public eye, so most followers of the show think they know everything about them. Here are some interesting tidbits about the family members before they became famous.
Miss Kay and Phil
The couple are high school sweethearts and started dating when Miss Kay was just 14 years old. They were married by the time she was 16.

Miss Kay is the matriarch of the duck call millionaires today, but in high school she was both a debutante and a cheerleader.

Uncle Si
Though Si’s wife opted not to participate in the show, the Vietnam vet says he’s madly in love with her and that he asked for her hand in marriage 70 times before the two ultimately wed in 1971.

They may be country now, but when they were growing up, Uncle Si and Phil were really roughing it. “It was the 1950s when I was a young boy, but we lived like it was the 1850s… but we were always happy, happy, happy no matter the circumstances,” Phil wrote in his book, Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander.
Al and Lisa
Phil and Miss Kay’s oldest son, Al, and his wife, Lisa, are ultra-conservative now, but in their memoir, A New Season: A Robertson Family Love Story of Brokenness and Redemption, the couple reveals their troubled past. Lisa divulged that she had been sexually abused by a male relative from the age of 7 until she was 14 years old and had also had an abortion when she was 17 years old.
Al
Also in the book, Al admitted that he was drinking heavily, doing speed and had an affair with a married woman when he was a young man.
Jase
From a young age, Kay and Phil’s second eldest son was enamoured with his father’s lifestyle and served as his dad’s shadow. The duck hunter even skipped the maximum amount of days from school as required by Louisiana law to spend more time in the woods.
Willie
Before Willie, Kay and Phil’s third son, helped make Duck Commander a multimillion-dollar business, he attended Harding University and graduated from the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Korie
Like her husband, Willie, Korie also attended Harding University. They were both declared Outstanding Young Alumni by the university in 2014.
Jep
Before he was famous, Kay and Phil’s youngest son, Jep, was rockin’ the plantinum blond locks made famous by Eminem and Justin Timberlake in the ’90s!
