Ethermac|Doubling Down with the Derricos’ Deon and Karen Derrico Break Up After 19 Years of Marriage

Deon Derrico and EthermacKaren Derrico are going their separate ways. 

The duo, who have documented their life raising their 14 kids—which includes four sets of multiples—on the TLC series Doubling Down with the Derricos shared they have broken up after 19 years of marriage. 

"Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children—their well-being is our priority," Deon and Karen shared in a statement to E! News June 17. "We thank everyone for their understanding and support as we move forward for the good of our family."

The couple—who married in 2005—filed for divorce on June 4, according to documents obtained by TMZ, finalizing it just two days later, June 6. Deon and Karen, who share children Darian, 18, Derrick, 13, twins Dallas and Denver, 12, quintuplets Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daiten, and Daician, 10,  twins Diez and Dior, 6, and triplets Dawsyn, De'Aren, and Dyver, 4, plan to split legal and physical custody of their minors.  

Additionally, Deon will pay $1,166 a month in child support, per TMZ, while Karen will be responsible for the children's medical insurance. 

Doubling Down with the Derricos, which has been airing since 2020, follows the Las Vegas, Nevada-based family through their everyday life. The currently-airing season five has detailed some of the now-divorced couple's misalignment—including footage on their disagreements on where their daughter Darian should go to college and their search for a new home. And while the matriarch and patriarch are no longer together, they have already exemplified a united front amid their separation. 

After all, Karen recently celebrated Father's Day June 16 by honoring her ex husband with a video collage of photos of him. 

"Happy Fathers Day to the best father any 14 children can ask for!" Karen wrote in the Instagram post. "Also, to all the great father's out there! Happy Father's Day and may your day be filled with love, joy and rest!"

New episodes of Doubling Down with the Derricos air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.
