Photo: Korie Robertson Instagram Willie Robertson's children — Rebecca, John Luke, Sadie, Bella, Will and Rowdy — made his experience on Duck Dynasty one-of-a-kind. When the reality TV show premiered in 2012, Willie and his wife, Korie Robertson, were featured raising their six kids. While the majority of their daughters and sons grew up on-screen, the couple welcomed their youngest child just before the series ended in 2017. Throughout the years, Willie and Korie have showcased their love for their children, and they've returned the sentiment. In 2018, Sadie told PEOPLE Now that she admired her mom’s courageous spirit and cited her as an inspiration for her book, Live Fearless. “My mom is the most fearless person I’ve ever met. She’s just literally a picture of peace," she said. "She just walks into the future and laughs, like nothing bothers her.” Here’s everything to know about Willie Robertson's children: Rebecca, John Luke, Sadie, Bella, Will and Rowdy. Rebecca Robertson Loflin, 36 Willie Robertson's daughter Rebecca with her family. Rebecca Robertson/Instagram Rebecca Robertson Loflin was born in Portland, Ore., on Oct. 17, 1988, and she was raised in Taiwan, according to her bio on Live Original. Willie and Korie started fostering Rebecca in 2004 when she was a 16-year-old exchange student for a year-long program, and they immediately embraced her as one of their own. “We fell in love with her from day one, and she became our daughter,” Korie said on their Facebook Watch series At Home With The Robertsons in 2021. "She has a mom that is still in Taiwan that loves her dearly, but we're her American family." Though Rebecca only appeared in a handful of Duck Dynasty episodes from 2013 to 2017, Willie and Korie were involved in her education. According to her bio on Live Original, Rebecca attended Louisiana State University, where she earned a degree in fashion design, merchandising and textile science. In the following years, Rebecca moved to Los Angeles after landing an internship and eventually returned home with ideas for a clothing line, Korie told Taste of Country. The mother-daughter duo opened the clothing store Duck and Dressing in 2019, and Korie credited Rebecca for spearheading the project they had dreamed about.

I’m so proud of her and it’s been really fun to do together," Korie told the outlet. "I think Rebecca did a good job of taking kind of that experience out in L.A. and bringing it back and making it have a southern feel to it as well." On Dec. 3, 2016, Rebecca tied the knot with John Reed Loflin in Mexico, where Willie walked her down the aisle. She later made Willie and Korie first-time grandparents when she and John Reed announced they were expecting in July 2018. Korie was excited to share the news on Instagram, writing, “I’ve been dying to tell y’all this!! @rebeccalorobertson @johnreedloflin are having a baby🎉🙌🏻👏🏼🤗Which means Willie and I are going to be grandparents 👵❤️👴.” The couple have since welcomed two children: son Zane Israel Loflin in 2019, and daughter Holland Lo Loflin, their “rainbow baby,” in 2021. (Rebecca and John Reed previously opened up about experiencing a miscarriage in October 2020.) Currently, they are expecting a son in November 2024. Around the same time Rebecca gave birth to Holland, she founded the boutique Me & My, a clothing brand for mothers and kids created from her desire to create “modern, functional and stylish garments” in matching sets for herself and her son.

According to the couple, John Luke popped the question by gifting her a photo album with a picture of the ring on the last page. When Mary Kate figured out what was happening and looked up, he had the ring in his hand. John Luke and Mary Kate married on June 27, 2015, on the Robertson family farm, surrounded by friends and family. In May 2019, the couple revealed they were expecting their first child, a baby boy.

Sadie married Christian at her family’s Louisiana home on Nov. 25, 2019. “When somebody makes you better and they’re your best friend in the world, you don’t want to spend a day without them.
