Karen and Deon Derrico always wanted a big family, but never in their wildest dreams did they imagine how large their brood would grow.
The couple have a knack for making multiples, meaning Karen has only been pregnant six times – but has 11 children, with three more on the way!
Her eldest two, Darian, 14, and Derrick, 9, were both born individually. They were followed by twins Dallas and Denver, 8, then quintuplets Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician and Daiten, 6, then twins Diez and Dior, 2.
Now, the big family, from Las Vegas, are sharing their life in a new television series, Doubling Down with the Derricos, which follows Karen’s latest pregnancy with triplets.
“Our highlight was showing the authentic love we have for one another and our ability to overcome challenges we are faced with daily,” Karen, 41, tells New Idea. “We aren’t faced with any more challenges than any other family.”
