“Doubling Down with the Derricos” stars Deon and Karen Derrico have pulled the plug on their famous marriage.

According to TMZ, the TLC reality show couple filed for divorce on June 4th. In one of the shortest divorces in reality TV history, the split was finalized just two days later on June 6th, seemingly indicating that the Derricos worked out the particulars outside of court before the filing. In a statement to People, the couple maintained that their children remain their primary focus.

“Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children — their well-being is our priority.  We thank everyone for their understanding and support as we move forward for the good of our family,” they shared. 

The couple rose to fame in 2020 when “Doubling Down with the Derricos” debuted in 2020. The series documents their life as parents of 14 children in Las Vegas. During Season 5, which premiered on May 14th, 2024, there seemed to be some strain between the couple, who’d purchased a Las Vegas fixer-upper home. The season finale is scheduled for July 2nd. 

It’s unknown if their marital woes will be documented in the final episode of the season, though it appears the split was amicable. Deon and Karen will share custody of their 13 minor children: Derrick, 13; 12-year-old twins Dallas and Denver; 10-year-old quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko, and Dariz; 6-year-old Diez and Dior; and 4-year-old triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver. Their oldest daughter, Darian, is 18 years old. Deon will pay $1,166 in monthly child support, while Karen will be in charge of their children’s medical expenses.

The future of “Doubling Down with the Derricos” is unknown now that the couple has split.
