Eric Jefferson is a close friend and “primary family member” of the Derrico family featured on TLC’s Doubling Down With the Derricos. Although he is not a blood relative, he has become an integral part of their lives and is frequently seen spending time with Karen, Deon, their 14 children, and GG.
Eric’s relationship with the Derricos began when he was a tenant of Deon and Karen. Over time, as he worked with Deon in real estate, he got to know the entire family better, leading to the development of their friendship.
Eric was previously married to Felicia Jefferson, but their marriage ended in 2021. Since then, he has been embraced by the Derrico family, who often refer to him as the kids’ big brother. While Eric doesn’t have children of his own, he has found a loving and supportive family in the Derricos.
In a recent episode of Doubling Down With the Derricos, the family officially welcomed Eric into their family. They presented him with an official certificate to commemorate the occasion, and the heartfelt moment touched fans of the show. Eric’s presence and the bond he shares with Karen, Deon, and their children have endeared him to viewers, and they hope to see more of him in future seasons of the show.
