Fans of TLC’s Doubling Down With The Derricos may have taken some time to match names to the faces of the large Derrico family. However, one member, Darian Derrico, easily stood out as the oldest among the 14 children. This weekend, parents Karen and Deon Derrico announced a significant milestone for their daughter.
In the show’s first season, many viewers assumed that the eldest child would end up shouldering the responsibility of being a nanny to her siblings. However, thanks to the help of Deon’s mother, GG, and their friend Eric Jefferson, the family managed to share the workload. Nevertheless, it was evident that Darian had her fair share of responsibilities. In June 2021, the teenager experienced a new adventure by attending an overnight summer camp for the very first time.
Now, Darian Derrico has reached another milestone as she has been accepted into New York University (NYU). Additionally, her father, Deon, shared that she also secured a job. It’s bittersweet to think that she is growing up and will eventually leave home. The Derrico family is known for their close-knit bond, and her siblings will undoubtedly miss her dearly. However, it is unlikely that she will lose touch with her loved ones.
In further news about the oldest daughter, it was revealed that she participated in a dramatic writing program offered by the Tisch School of the Arts. This experience enhanced her communication skills, and now Karen and Deon Derrico have taken to Instagram to share another momentous occasion. The stars of Doubling Down With The Derricos posted a celebratory reel to mark the milestone.
In the caption of their joint post, Karen expressed her gratitude to God for blessing them with such a wonderful, responsible, multi-talented, funny, amazing, and smart daughter. The family is thrilled to celebrate this day and eagerly looks forward to many more celebrations in the future. Deon also acknowledged the significance of the occasion, stating that it’s hard to believe they now have an adult daughter.
Darian Derrico has garnered a significant following among Doubling Down With The Derricos fans. Many of them commented on the celebratory reel, set to Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely?,” to express their well wishes and love for Darian on her special day.
