Willie and Korie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fame have always been open about their love, faith and choice to adopt, not once, but twice. Rare caught up with them as they were honored at the Angels in Adoption event in Washington, D.C. to get the details about their ever-growing family.
Dressed in a form fitting little black dress and sky-high heels, Korie Robertson stunned on the red carpet. Her accessory for the evening, husband of 23 years, Willie Robertson. Willie wore a blue camo jacket that he told us he “just bought,” dark jeans and boots.
The couple has always been outspoken about their love of adoption and this is the second year they have been a part of the Angels in Adoption gala. Together they have five children, three biological and two adopted.
Adopted daughter, Rebecca Robertson, 26; John Luke Robertson, 19; Sadie Robertson, 18; adopted son, Willie Robertson Jr., 13 and Bella Robertson, 13.
Rebecca works in fashion in California, John Luke is married to longtime love, Mary Kate and Sadie is well on her way to fame after reaching second place on “Dancing With The Stars,” leaving Willie Jr. and Bella at home with Willie Sr. and Korie.
With three of the five children flying the coop, we had to know: are the Robertson’s going to adopt again?
“We are always open to adoption. We feel like adoption has blessed our family in so many ways. And we are so thankful for our kids both biological and adopted. So ‘never say never.’ That’s for sure.” Korie told us, exclusively.
“Yeah, we are.” Willie affirmed, beaming at his wife.
The couple has always been an advocate for adoption. In 2001, the Robertson’s adopted Willie at 5 weeks old. According to People, when Korie accepted an award at the Angels in Adoption gala in 2013 she said she felt labor pains the night before they brought Willie home.
Rebecca was brought into the Robertson clan in 2004 when she participated in a foreign exchange program.
The “Duck Dynasty” duo are enjoying the time with all of their children and prefer not to even think about the idea of becoming empty-nesters.
