Double tap on the Doubling Down with the Derricos crew! Deon Derrico always wanted to be a star. Today, with 14 adorable children and his own reality show, the Derrico dad surely is one. From sharing the ups and downs in his life to always praising his children and wife, Deon documents his brilliant life on social media for all to see.
A family of two singletons, quintuplets, triplets, and two pairs of twins are led by parents Karen and Deon on Doubling Down With the Derricos. Having just welcomed their newest three to the Derrico brood, 49-year-old Deon is surely feeling the pressure. But as the TLC show progress, fans are falling in love with just how wholesome the Derrico family is. Be it the very distinct personalities each of the quintuplets have or the heart-breaking scenes where Karen and Deon pray for the health of their newborn preemie triplet, Doubling Down With the Derricos episodes are full of wonder, love, and emotions. As the captain of the ship, real estate investor Deon maintains his cool 24/7 and carries out his duties as a dashing dad. While his stance on the TLC show is worthy of applause, his Instagram too offers lessons in parenting and relationships, particularly in the captions Daddy Derrico uses for his posts.
Deon started his Instagram account in June 2016 with a picture of his then 2-year-old quintuplets Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician, and Daiten. All born naturally, without any IVF treatment, the babies were called medical marvels when they were born and made it to national news! Check out his sweet picture of his famous babies below:
