Duck Dynasty's Bella Robertson, 22, reveals her struggle with infertility
People have been asking Duck Dynasty: The Revival star Bella Robertson Mayo and her husband Jacob Mayo when they're planning to have children ever since their 2021 wedding.
'[When] people comment about us having kids, we're like, "Trust me, you don't have to ask us,"' the 22-year-old nepo baby of Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson told Us Weekly on Wednesday.
'We share a story of infertility in the show and that's something that we haven't really shared publicly that much, but that's something that others just don't know. When you just look at someone on social media, you can't know what anyone's going through.'
Not getting pregnant has been beyond frustrating for Bella, whose big sister Sadie is currently expecting her third child with husband Christian Huff.

'I don't think we necessarily intended on sharing it even, but it felt right,' Robertson explained.
'I think that we both felt like if we could help anybody, especially what are the odds that we're on this stage where we can share something that is so real for so many?'
The 25-year-old General Vintage owner wishes 'getting pregnant and having kids was as easy as people act like it is.'
'Just, "Oh, I can just pop out a kid" or "If we want to wait, we get to choose to wait." It's not that transactional of a thing,' Jacob noted.
'When people say stuff, it's just like if it was easy or if it was easy not to, we would. But it's not that simple I would say.'
On June 5, the high school sweethearts - who share two adorable fur-babies - will celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary.
Before Mayo, Bella dated Full House alum Candace Cameron Bure's son Lev for two years spanning 2018-2020.
Robertson was only 10 years old when she made her first appearance on A&E's reality show Duck Dynasty, which aired for 11 seasons spanning 2012-2017.
Bella added: 'We share a story of infertility in the show and that's something that we haven't really shared publicly that much, but that's something that others just don't know'
