Yahoo Lifestyle 'Doubling Down With the Derricos' Karen Sends a Direct Message About Having 14 Kids
In 2020, TLC viewers were introduced to Deon and Karen Derrico in Doubling Down With the Derricos. The Las Vegas couple are parents to a staggering 14 kids—and recently, the busy mom dished on why she decided to have so many children.
On Monday, Feb. 10, Karen took to Instagram to directly answer a commonly asked question from fans: Why does she have 14 kids?
"It's not like I went on Amazon and was like, 'Hey, let me order up some children'" she said in a voiceover in a video of her using an exercise machine.
"So, I wanted as many children as God blessed me to have," she continued. "And my first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, and then I had Darian. Then I had, within four years, two more miscarriages."
Karen concluded, "After that, I had my son, Derrick, and then my twins, quintuplets and two sets of triplets. So who am I to tell God to stop when I didn't even think I could have one?"

In addition to their two singletons, Darian, 19, and Derrick, 14, Karen and Deon share: twins Dallas and Denver, 13; quintuplets Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician and Daiten, 11; twins (originally triplets, but their brother Carter died shortly after birth) Diez and Dior, 7; and triplets Dawsyn, De'Aren and Dyver, 5.
TLC has not officially confirmed Season 6 of Doubling Down With the Derricos. However, Deon revealed in July 2024 that they were filming for a new season—and that it would cover what happened leading up to his and Karen's shocking divorce.
The first five seasons of Doubling Down With the Derricos are available to stream on Max.
