Robyn Dixon’s firstborn inherited a lot more than his father’s passion for basketball; he also inherited his looks.
This was further proven on March 30, when The Real Housewives of Potomac alum provided a quick but sweet update on her and Juan Dixon’s oldest son, Corey Dixon. Robyn shared a photo of her smiling ear to ear while hugging the teenage boy who turned 17 just several weeks before the post. Yup, you read that correctly: That little kid who made his Bravo debut nearly 10 years ago is inching closer and closer to adulthood.
Robyn Dixon shares a sweet update on her oldest son, Corey Dixon
“I love my big baby Coco,” she captioned the snap. “Aries gang and March babies.”
The post received more than 23,000 “likes” and over 300 comments, most of which pointed out that Corey was basically Juan’s mini-me.
“His daddy’s twin!” one person wrote.
“He got his dad whole face,” another added.
RHOP alums Charrisse Jackson-Jordan and Nneka Ihim also hopped in the comments, gushing over the sweet mother-and-son photo.
"Wow! Corey is really growing up," Charrisse wrote. "Such a cute pic."
"Beautiful, Robyn!!!" Nneka commented. "If you squint you can see a lil bit of you in him!"
Robyn Dixon reveals how her sons' schedules affect her marriage
Robyn — who is also a mom to 15-year-old son, Carter Dixon — shared the update as Corey prepared for another season of youth basketball. The ex-Housewife confirmed this in a recent interview with The Daily Dish, admitting her sons’ busy schedules made it difficult for her and Juan to enjoy a romantic date night.
“My son’s basketball season takes us through July, even, like, Spring Break,” she said. “So, it’s like a sad life, because the kids' lives run our schedules, and we have to be at all of their games… I opened a new business in October, and I have to be close to my business. So I can’t really go away for a long time. It’s a life as a business owner.”
Corey Dixon reflects on following in his dad's basketball footsteps
It's no surprise that Corey and Carter have developed a strong love for basketball, as they've been immersed in the sport their entire lives. When Robyn gave birth to Corey in 2008, Juan was still playing in the NBA as a Washington Wizards guard. The father of two left the league in 2009 and took on multiple coaching gigs in the following years.
Corey has credited Juan for helping improve his hoops skills, saying they have regular coaching sessions and one-on-one games at their Maryland home.
“He’s a vocal coach,” the Potomac son said in a 2024 interview with 247Sports.
Although he’s clearly proud of Juan’s professional accomplishments, Corey wants to step out of his father’s shadow and pave his own in the basketball realm.
“I do want to end up creating my own legacy and creating my own name,” he told the outlet, “instead of just being looked at as Juan Dixon’s son.”
