Who Is Derrick Levasseur’s Wife? All About the ‘Big Brother’ Star’s Marriage
Derrick Levasseur is a Big Brother all-star who needs no introduction.
Derrick was first introduced to Big Brother fans back in 2014, when he appeared as a houseguest in Season 16 and ultimately took home the $500,000 grand prize. During his time on the show, Derrick was well known for his alliances with other fan-favorites, such as Cody Calafiore and Frankie Grande. Since his time in the Big Brother house, Derrick has appeared on The Traitors and Breaking Homicide.
On July 22, CBS announced that the 41-year-old and recent winner Taylor Hale would be cohosting their new Season 27 companion program, Big Brother: Unlocked. Per the CBS announcement, “Taylor and Derrick will guide viewers through never-before-seen broadcast footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments from inside the Big Brother house.” The network also teased that the behind-the-scenes show will “feature recurring segments like ‘BB Fantasy Draft,’ ‘Big Move/Bad Move, ‘ and ‘Binge Worthy or Cringe Worthy.'”
With Derrick Levasseur returning to our screens, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the Big Brother star’s wife, kids, career, and more!
Who is Derrick Levasseur’s wife?
Derrick’s wife is a fellow Mitchell College grad named Jana Donlin Levasseur. The college sweethearts married in 2011 at the Newport Marriott in Newport, Rhode Island. At their ceremony, they had not one but three wedding cakes, including a “chocolate cake with raspberry Chambord filling, red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, and a Milky Way-filled groom’s cake in the shape of Derrick’s Central Falls police badge.” To be honest, all three leave us with massive FOMO.
How did Derrick Levasseur and Jana Donlin meet?
Derrick and Jana met as criminal justice majors at Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut. While Jana does not lead a public life, her Instagram bio makes it clear that she is Derrick “wifey.” During Season 16 of Big Brother, Derrick was contacted by Jana with the news that his grandfather had died while he was in the house. According to the Big Brother star, he chose not to leave the house before he was evicted because he was there to win “for her.”
