Sadie Robertson and husband Christian Huff are happily expecting their third baby — but their relationship isn’t without its bumps.
“When we got married, Christian became a true partner in life with me and a best friend,” Robertson, 27, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, applauding her husband, 27, for diving into her “struggle” with anxiety and working to understand her hardships.
The pregnant star says there’s “so much freedom” in having Huff by her side in her mental health journey and beyond.
“Since we’ve gotten married, we’ve been through some hard things together,” Robertson says, pointing to their parenthood journey as one aspect of life that challenged them as a couple.
She confesses, “[There’s] been some definitely deep, deep times in our marriage that have definitely bonded us.”
The Duck Dynasty star says that she and Huff, whom she wed in November 2019, have been a “team” through all the hardships. By leaning on each other and going to therapy regularly, the couple have been able to overcome all that life throws at them.

“We’ve had a counselor since our premarital stuff and she stuck with us ever since,” Robertson tells Us, noting that sometimes they speak with her “more than others.”
Huff agrees with his wife, sharing his belief that the key to their successful marriage is “communication.” He explains, “All people go through difficult things, just you have to have the vulnerability to discuss them.”
Robertson, who shares daughters Honey, 4, and Haven, 2, with Huff, tells Us that by turning to a counselor the pair are able to “love each other more.”
Huff, meanwhile, says that through counseling they’ve learned “little taglines” that have positively influenced how they speak to each other.

“It’s [phrases like], ‘Never say never always,’ which means I don’t say, ‘You never do this or you always do this,’” he shares, adding that the “little subtle things” make big impressions.
After five years of marriage, Huff says he and Robertson are focused on “just being in a place where we can have those conversations of things we’re wrestling with and do it together and not try to do it apart.”
The couple’s highs and lows as a family will be on display when Robertson’s family returns for Duck Dynasty: The Revival series on A&E Sunday, June 1. Robertson teases their sex reveal party will be a particularly fun story line and something they’ve been “trying to keep” a secret for months.
Outside of their relationship — and the lives of Sadie’s parents, Willie Robertson and Korie Robertson, and their siblings — their bond over faith will also be highlighted. “We are totally confident sharing our faith,” Sadie, who is an inspirational speaker and host of the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast, says. “We share it in a way that we hope brings hope to other families.”
