Doubling Down With the Derricos: Karen & Deon Finally Settle Into New Home — But It Was Too Late to Save Their Marriage
After months of delays, drama, and rising tension, Doubling Down With the Derricos stars Karen and Deon Derrico finally moved their massive family into their long-awaited new home in Las Vegas. But despite what looked like a fresh start, it wasn’t enough to save their marriage.
In the emotional Season 5 finale, which aired July 2, viewers watched as Deon, 53, and Karen, 44, celebrated moving into their new home just in time for Easter. The journey to get there wasn’t easy — the entire season chronicled their frustrations as setbacks kept them stuck in limbo, unable to relocate.
“We are really and truly grateful to finally be here because there’s been a lot of tension between Karen and I,” Deon shared in a confessional during the episode. “[We] sort of finally have all that behind us. That’s priceless.”
The move was meant to mark a new beginning for their bustling household of 14 children: Darian, 18; Derrick, 13; twins Dallas and Denver, 12; quintuplets Deonee, Daician, Daiten, Deniko, and Dariz, 10; twins Diez and Dior, 6; and triplets Dawsyn, De’Aren, and Dyver, 4. Before leaving their old home, the family gathered for a heartfelt reflection on the memories they’d made there — a moment that brought tears from their youngest children.
But in hindsight, fans now know this milestone was bittersweet. Just months after settling into their new house, Karen and Deon announced they were ending their marriage — proving that even a dream home can’t fix what’s already broken.
What’s Next for the Derrico Family After the Split?
Though the move was supposed to symbolize a fresh chapter for the Derricos, fans now see it as the final attempt to hold things together. News of Karen and Deon’s divorce has left viewers heartbroken, especially after witnessing the couple’s emotional efforts to create stability for their 14 children.
Despite their marriage ending, both Karen and Deon have made it clear that their number one priority remains their kids. They’ve promised to co-parent with love, patience, and respect — something fans of Doubling Down With the Derricos hope to see reflected if the series continues.
Many longtime viewers have expressed support for both Karen and Deon, acknowledging that even in the face of divorce, they’ve shown incredible dedication as parents. Others are left wondering how the family will navigate this next chapter — especially after investing so much into building a dream home meant to hold them together.
For now, TLC has not confirmed whether the show will return for another season post-divorce, but one thing’s for sure: the Derrico family’s journey — through joy, heartbreak, and resilience — has captured the hearts of many.
