Friends And Family Show Their Love To John Luke & Mary Kate Following Pregnancy News
Fans of Duck Dynasty watched John Luke, Willie and Korie’s oldest son, grow up during the show’s original 11-season run. He was just 16 years old when it first aired, and viewers got to witness so many of his life’s biggest achievements.
One of those milestones was his wedding to Mary Kate in the summer of 2015, which was shown during a special episode.

In May 2019, the couple shared that they were expecting their first child, and later that year, on October 14, they welcomed their son, John Shepherd.
Their family grew again in 2021 with the birth of their daughter, Ella Kathryn, followed by their third child, a boy named Wells, in 2023.
Now, as they get ready to become a family of seven, John Luke and Mary Kate couldn’t be more excited. They also have the support of their friends and family, who all left love and congratulations on their pregnancy announcement.
“CAN’T WAITTTTTTT!!!!!! Kits besties,” Sadie, John Lukes’ younger sister wrote. She is referring to her own newborn baby girl.
“OH MY!!!!! How precious 😍😍 double the blessing!!!!” a friend wrote.
John Luke’s sister in law, Abby, commented, “I’m SO pumped for these little girls to be here.”
