It is now being reported:

The Derricos are calling it quits after 19 years of marriage. Shocking!!!

@JoePE I have a hard time believing that as well - I cannot imagine how the kids will be raised in a single parent home.

I believe it because didn't "John and Kate Plus Eight" also break up.

They are already divorced.

I know they were having financial problems and I think they either lost their home or came close to losing it.

They will probably get more financial help since there will be a single parent with a boat load of kids.

Some people know how to manipulate the system to get ahead or stay afloat.

On June 15, Deon and Karen confirmed the news of their divorce and shared custody of their 13 minor children in a statement to Parade via TLC.

“Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children—their well-being is our priority," they shared. "We thank everyone for their understanding and support as we move forward for the good of our family.”

What does anyone think would have happened. Having all those kids and using them like they were doing!! Those kids are likely to be negatively impacted for life!!

Living your life on a reality television show is almost always the kiss of death for any relationship.

Oh dear, divorcing just short of 20 years to manipulate the system.

Maya Angelou got it right.

I also suspect there's more to the story, since the divorce was a done deal in the blink of an eye from what info has been released. A ratings ploy?

@Iwantcoffee that makes two of us. From reading this it's a reality show. Now I know why I have never heard of them.

If I had to support 14 kids, I be doing a reality show too.

I guess Karen will have to stop homeschooling the kids and get a job.

@JoePE A long time ago when I saw trailers for this mess I thought "Who deliberately has this many kids" and knew I'd never watch it.

I've never heard of the Derricos.

I don't watch reality shows, but I've heard of Kate Plus 8 and the Duggars. Maybe they got more publicity?
