The couple has two daughters, Tenley and Peyton, whom they welcomed in 2012 and 2016, respectively. In 2023, rumors began to circulate about Derrick's divorce on TikTok, mainly due to the absence of Jana's mention on his social media. However, neither Derrick nor Jana has confirmed anything. As a result, the claims regarding their separation remain speculative.

While Derrick utilizes his social media platforms to promote his work and showcase his life as a father of two daughters, Jana, who only has an X account, mostly remains offline.

Derrick and his wife, Jana, met while studying at Mitchell College. Their romance as college sweethearts matured with time, culminating in their marriage in 2011.

According to the Newport Wedding Magazine's report dated April 30, 2011, the pair tied the knot at the Newport Marriott in Newport, Rhode Island. At their ceremony, Derrick and Jana had not one but three wedding cakes, including a chocolate cake with raspberry Chambord filling, and a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

The third piece was a Milky Way-filled groom's cake shaped to resemble Derrick's Central Falls police badge, honoring his contributions as the youngest officer hired in the department's history. He worked both the Patrol Division and the Detective Division, as stated on his website (officialderrick.com)

The Big Brother: Unlocked host met his wife while studying criminal justice at Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut. However, not much is known about her since she maintains a low profile and a quiet social media presence. During season 16 of Big Brother, fans watched Derrick get contacted by his wife with the news of his grandfather's death.

Since he was inside the house at the time, he wondered if he should exit the competition. However, he ultimately decided to see the show through to the end because he wanted to win it for Jana.

Derrick has two daughters with Jana: Tenley, who is 12, and Peyton, who is nine. The CBS show star describes himself as a girl's dad, who frequently posts about his daughters, referring to them as his best friends.
