Seven years ago, Dawsyn, De’Aren and Dyver arrived 12 weeks early, born at 28 weeks while Karen waited to hear them cry. This past July, the triplets turned seven – old enough for second grade. The baby of the Derrico family is not a baby anymore. Everybody grew up while the cameras were gone.
Here is the full countdown, youngest to oldest, with every Derrico kid’s age in November 2026. Fourteen kids, six birthdays, 13 years from youngest to oldest.
No. 14 to No. 12 – The Triplets, Age 7: From 28 Weeks to Second Grade
Dawsyn, De’Aren and Dyver were born on July 6, 2019, at 28 weeks. Karen marked their sixth birthday this July, writing: “Happy 6th birthday to our babies! We just can not believe they are 6!” – a golden birthday, six on the sixth. Dawsyn’s early heart surgery was one of the show’s most emotional early storylines. Now they are seven, in elementary school – the last of the “babies.”
No. 11 and No. 10 – Diez and Dior, Age 9: The ‘Triplins’
Diez and Dior were born on May 23, 2017, which makes them nine. They were triplets once – their brother Carter died shortly after birth, and their parents still call them “triplins” to honor him. Karen still posts an annual tribute to Carter every May – a reminder that this family’s happiest dates have always carried a sad one alongside them.
No. 9 to No. 5 – The Quintuplets, Age 13: Five Teenagers at Once
Deniko, Dariz, Deonee, Daician and Daiten – in birth order – were born on September 6, 2013, and they are 13 now: five teenagers at once. Karen celebrated their 11th birthday in September 2024 with a photoshoot and a dance, writing, “Blessings x Five!!! Happy Birthday to our Quintuples!! The big 11!!!” Fans keep singling out Deonee – in February 2025 Karen posted her strutting in a pink dress and heels, and the comments called her “Mini Karen.”
No. 4 to No. 2 – Derrick, Dallas and Denver, Ages 15 and 16
Derrick, born July 18, 2010, is 16 – the last singleton, one of two with a birthday all to himself. Then come the twins, Dallas and Denver, born October 9, 2011, now 15. They turned 13 in October 2024. Karen’s post said it all: “Wow!!!! 4 teenagers in the house!!!!” Deon added his own tribute – “Happy 13th birthday to this pair of Twins, they are the first to make us parents to multiples” – then signed off: “to the moon and back 1 million times and counting.”

Darian was born on December 9, 2005, which makes her 20 – 21 next month. An only child for five years, then big sister to 13. Driver’s license in September 2024; then her dream college, New York University, rejected her – and the music dream her parents fought over was, by Deon’s own account, the fight that broke the marriage: Karen pushed music, Deon pushed back, and Darian asked for space to decide for herself. She has moved out and still posts singing videos. And she holds one status no other Derrico kid has: 18 when her parents divorced in June 2024, she is the only one of the 14 outside the custody arrangement. A fake AI photo tried to make her a mom at 20; fans killed it in hours.
Fourteen kids, six birthdays, one family, two households now – and Deon has said, according to reports, that the cameras are rolling again, with a comeback targeted for 2027. By then, the triplets will be eight and Darian will be 21. So here is the question: which Derrico kid changed the most since the cameras first rolled in 2020 – Darian, who went from only child to adult chasing a music career, or the quintuplets, who went from five babies in one crib to five teenagers? Pick one, and defend your pick.
