Duck Dynasty star Jessica Robertson shared that their family is expanding while revealing her 18-year-old daughter, Priscilla, is pregnant.
“Me & Jep [Robertson] are excited to welcome another new grandbaby in October,” Jessica, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, July 20, alongside photos of Priscilla holding her baby bump. “Priscilla will give birth to our granddaughter & we are blessed to add another grandbaby.”
Jessica, who also shares kids Lily, 22, Merritt, 20, River, 16, and Gus, 9, with Jep, 47, noted that Priscilla’s pregnancy wasn’t in “the plans“ that they “laid out” for her.
“But God takes our meager offerings and turns them into His greatest blessings!” she wrote. “We are so proud that Priscilla & Dillon chose life for their baby and we will all be rewarded with this precious baby girl! 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!”
Priscilla’s surprising news comes after her sister Lily welcomed son Winston with husband Austin Stalbaum and Merritt and her husband, Tyler Metro, announced their pregnancy with a baby girl in June.
Jessica rose to fame with her husband, Jep, who is the son of Phil Robertson and Kay Robertson, on Duck Dynasty, which aired from 2012 to 2017. Jessica and Jep, who tied the knot in 2001, earned their own series, Jep & Jessica: Growing the Dynasty, which ran from 2016 to 2017.
While the pair welcomed children Lily, Merritt, Priscilla and River naturally, Jessica and Jep have been candid about their decision to adopt son Gus in 2015.
“I had some health risks, so I wasn’t able to have another child, physically. It was on my heart so heavy,” Jessica told Us Weekly in January 2016. “A year and a half ago, Jep came on board. He was like, ‘You know what, it’s a God thing. If it’s so heavy on your heart, this is something we need to do.’”
Jessica noted the adoption process was an “emotional roller-coaster,” and the twosome eventually opted for a “closed adoption.”
“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 shared with Us. “But [the process is] so worth it. We recommend it. It’s not the easiest journey, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.”
The couple couldn’t help but joke about Gus working in the duck family business as well.
“That’s what [my brother] Willie [Robertson] wants him to do!” Jep noted.
