Undeniably, marriage is hard on its own, but adding fourteen kids to the mix makes it even more difficult. On June 4, the Derrico couple filed for divorce and then it was complete within two days. Both parents will split legal and physical custody of their thirteen minor children. Karen says, “Together, we remain unified in the parenting of our 14 beautiful children — their well-being is our priority.” But her sentiment was still shocking when she posted a message about Deon on June 16, just days after the divorce.

On Instagram, the mom of fourteen, Karen Derrico, shocked fans with a recent post. While the couple has called it quits, Karen is still sharing a surprising message. She added a video with a collection of photos of Deon Derrico and the kids. She captions: “Happy Fathers Day to the best father any 14 children can ask for! @deonderrico.” Karen’s video includes a photo of the couple with one of their daughters, Deon sleeping on a plane, and an additional video clip of him.

She adds, “Also, to all the great father’s out there! Happy Father’s Day and may your day be filled with love, joy and rest! 😊” Below the initial post, Deon thanks his ex-wife for the shoutout. He says, “Awwww thank you @karenederrico for this ❤️❤️❤️.” Then, she teases, “Btw: more pics loading later today 😊.”

• Confused, one fan says, “I thought they were divorced???”
• Another says, “This is weird since you’re divorced now.”

As the family moves through their new transition of a divided living, Karen says, “We thank everyone for their understanding and support as we move forward for the good of our family.”

• Another fan says, “I’m still not understanding after 14 kids and many years together why divorce now? One of you build a fort in the other room and leave each other alone for a while. And I’ve never heard of a divorce going through in two days. Something is not adding up. Anyway, Happy Father’s Day!! Sorry, I just found out and although I don’t know yall personally I was disappointed 😮 Prayers to all involved.”
• “Happy Father’s Day. Praying that you and Karen can find peace and happiness. Praying that the children will be happy regardless of the outcome between the parents. Praying the GG will be healed expeditiously🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.”
