DEON and Karen Derrico are the stars of the TLC program Doubling Down With The Derricos.
Viewers first met the Derrico family in 2020 – and are eager to check out the family’s experiences in season 5.
How many kids do the Derricos have?
Deon and Karen Derrico are the parents of 14 children, all of whom are seen on Doubling Down With the Derricos.
The couple have an 18-year-old daughter, Darian, born December 2005.
They also have Derrick, who was born on July 18, 2010, and their 12-year-old twins Dallas and Denver.
Along with their four children, they have quintuplets, Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daiten, and Daician, born on September 6, 2013.
Then comes their twins, Diez and Dior, born on May 23, 2017.
However, it doesn’t stop there, the couple welcomed their triplets, Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver on July 6, 2019.
Are the Derricos married?
Deon Derrico, born on September 16, 1983, is married to his wife Karen Carter-Derrico.
Deon was previously married to Alicia Wright during his time in Michigan.
“We always wanted a large family. We desperately wanted a large family. And we didn’t do anything outside of the normal to have a large family,” Deon told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“But we never pictured multiple multiples.”
“We’ve had four sets of multiples back to back,” Karen said.
“I’ve been pregnant six times, and all of my children were naturally conceived.”
The couple is well aware of how unusual it is to have so many multiples.
“It’s like getting struck by lightning while getting struck by lightning,” Deon said of the family’s experience.
The family reportedly burns through $2,500 to $3,500 a month on groceries, including 15 boxes of frozen waffles and 20 rolls of toilet paper a week.
TMZ reports that Deon and Karen Derrico filed for divorce on June 4, 2024, which was finalized two days later.
The former couple will split legal and physical custody of 13 of their children equally.
Their daughter, Darian, is an adult and her custody was not contested in the divorce filings.

The family of 16 is located in Las Vegas and surprisingly had only six natural pregnancies resulting in 14 children.
