"Such great news": Doubling Down with the Derricos fans cheer as DNA test confirms that Amani is Chris' son

Doubling Down with the Derricos episode 3, which aired on TLC on Tuesday, June 13, was special as a DNA test confirmed that Amani is Chris' son. Chris passed away in January 2020 without ever knowing that he even had a son. Later on, Amani's mother told Amani the truth and he immediately contacted Chris' younger brother Deon. The family hoped for a positive result as they had already lost one son.

When the test results showed that the probability of Chris being Amani's father was more than 75%, everyone got emotional. The Derricos said that they finally got the closure they wanted for years and Deon assured Amani that he was going to be a role model for him, just like Chris would have been.

Doubling Down with the Derricos fans cheered as GG finally got her grandson and congratulated the entire family.

Deon had been previously skipping the phone calls made by Amani, as he felt that it could be a scam. He felt guilty later for missing the phone calls and was worried about how GG would react if it all turned out to be a lie.

Doubling Down with the Derricos fans were happy that GG, who has been alone for a long period and is being treated for lung cancer, finally had a grandson from Chris.
