Karen Derrico of Doubling Down With the Derricos took to Instagram with a powerful message to address fan confusion surrounding her 14 kids—and clarify that all share the same father: her ex, Deon. Fans had been puzzled by her note about having seven miscarriages across six pregnancies, but Karen spelled it out in detail—showing off clips of each child and confirming they were all Deon’s.
Despite filing for divorce in June 2024, Karen made it crystal clear:
👉 “All 14 of my children have the same Father!!”
She broke down the timeline—from eldest Darian (19) and Derrick (14), through twins, quintuplets, and triplets—so no one would mistake otherwise. She reminded fans in true mom mode, “I am running behind 14 children!” while giving shout-outs to Deon and the kids singing “One mommy, one poppy.”
Though their divorce is final, Karen and Deon remain tightly united in parenting, saying, “Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children—their well‑being is our priority.”
