Deon shares a special life update amid his divorce from Karen Derrico.

Holidays Look A Little Different This Year

After Doubling Down With The Derricos Season 5, Karen and Deon Derrico decided it was time to call it quits on their marriage. While they moved to a bigger home at the end of the season, the family is going through transitions with the parents’ separation. However, both have expressed how important it is to them to continue to create a stable home for their fourteen children. Although Karen changed her mind about her post for Deon’s birthday, they still seem to be trucking along with their original plan amid their divorce.
