Deon and Karen shocked fans when it was revealed that they had filed for divorce in early June 2024. The split was finalized just a few days later, with the former couple agreeing to share custody of their 13 minor children. (Karen and Deon also have one daughter, Darian, who is over 18.) 

The TLC star knows that Doubling Down With the Derricos viewers have a lot of questions about the end of his and Karen’s marriage. He says that they’ll get some answers — eventually. 

“Just so you guys are aware, we are currently filming everything that’s been going on,” Deon said in an Instagram video posted on July 2. “So you guys don’t have to keep asking. We already know. There’s a lot happening. A lot going on. A lot of moving parts. A lot of moving legs.”

“Our primary goal is to make sure that our children are happy and feeling heard and loved and all that good stuff,” he went on to say. “And that’s both Mommy and my primary goal to make sure that we keep our children filled with the love they’ve grown up knowing they had.”
