Jessica Robertson, a beloved star of the hit reality show Duck Dynasty, recently shared exciting news with her fans: her 18-year-old daughter, Priscilla, is expecting a baby. In an Instagram post on July 20, Jessica expressed her joy and gratitude, stating, “Me & Jep [Robertson] are excited to welcome another new grandbaby in October.” Accompanying her heartfelt message were photos of Priscilla proudly showcasing her baby bump.
Jessica, 44, and her husband Jep, 47, are already parents to four children: Lily, 22; Merritt, 20; River, 16; and Gus, 9. In her post, Jessica acknowledged that Priscilla’s pregnancy wasn’t part of the plans they had envisioned for her. However, she emphasized the beauty of life’s unexpected turns, saying, “But God takes our meager offerings and turns them into His greatest blessings!” She expressed pride in Priscilla and her partner Dillon for choosing life for their baby, stating, “We are so proud that Priscilla & Dillon chose life for their baby and we will all be rewarded with this precious baby girl!”
Jessica also took a moment to ask for prayers, saying, “We pray blessings on her pregnancy & ask God for a safe delivery for Mom & Baby. We praise God for His perfect gifts! 💛 Pray for us! 3 babies under 1!” This heartfelt message comes at a time when the Robertson family is experiencing significant growth, as Priscilla’s announcement follows her sister Lily’s recent birth of son Winston with husband Austin Stalbaum, and Merritt’s announcement of her own pregnancy with a baby girl.
The Robertson family rose to fame through A&E’s Duck Dynasty, which aired from March 2012 to March 2017. The show provided a glimpse into the lives of the Louisiana natives and their family business, Duck Commander. The series was a cultural phenomenon, attracting millions of viewers and making the Robertson family household names.
Jessica and Jep’s journey as parents has been both rewarding and challenging. The couple, who married in 2001, also welcomed their son Gus through adoption in 2015. Jessica has openly discussed the health risks that led to their decision to adopt, sharing, “I had some health risks, so I wasn’t able to have another child, physically. It was on my heart so heavy.” Jep fully supported Jessica’s desire to adopt, stating, “It’s a God thing. If it’s so heavy on your heart, this is something we need to do.”
The adoption process was described by Jessica as an “emotional roller-coaster,” and the couple ultimately chose a closed adoption to protect their family. “We just felt like for us, a closed adoption was the best thing that fit our family, and just the protection of our kids and even [Gus],” she explained. Despite the challenges, Jessica emphasized the importance of the journey, saying, “It’s not the easiest journey, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.”
As the Robertson family prepares to welcome yet another grandchild, fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds. The excitement surrounding Priscilla’s pregnancy adds to the joyful atmosphere of the Robertson household, which has been a source of inspiration and entertainment for many. With the promise of three little ones under one roof, the Robertson family is sure to have their hands full and their hearts even fuller.
As fans of Duck Dynasty continue to follow the lives of the Robertson family, they are reminded of the importance of family, love, and the unexpected blessings that life can bring. The anticipation of a new baby is a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes with family growth, and it seems the Robertson family is ready to embrace every moment of this upcoming adventure.
