Karen and Deon Derrico are super-parents. During the first season of Doubling Down With The Derricos (2020-now), Karen gave birth to triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren and Dyver. They joined the 11 other Derrico kids – Darian (15), Derrick (10), twins Dallas and Denver (9), quintuplets Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daiten and Daician (7), and twins Diez and Dior (4, originally triplets but the third baby Carter died shortly after birth). If you ran out of fingers, that’s 14 children in total for season 2, Wednesdays on TLC (*135) at 21:00.
Estate agent Deon Derrico is the family breadwinner and cook, while Karen has a full-time, never-ending job at home raising all the children, homeschooling and running the household with breath-taking efficiency. Everything is organised and labelled, down to the children’s toothbrushes, but that isn’t stopping a little chaos in season 2…
