This mother became well-known more than 16 years ago after giving birth to eight healthy babies at once. In addition to them, the mother of many already had six children. One of the children is married and a parent now that the others have grown up.
In 2009, an American woman named Nadya Suleman stunned the world by using IVF to give birth to eight babies at once, or octuplets. It was a unique instance in American medical history.
At that time, Nadya had already given birth to six children, and now she had fourteen. She was called reckless by some and a hero by others, but nobody was indifferent.
For months after the media dubbed her “Octomom,” she was frequently featured on magazine and television covers.
Sixteen years have passed. What happened to the woman who had to deal with so much?
Nadya is 49 years old today. She has long isolated herself from public life since she doesn’t want to be in the spotlight.
She and her children live in a little townhouse on the outskirts of a California metropolis. Despite having few material belongings and few luxuries, they are orderly, caring, and disciplined.
Recently, the family celebrated two important milestones:
Nadya became a grandmother, and her son Joshua became a father. With the birth of his daughter, Nadya happily took on her new role.
Aidan, her eldest son with severe autism, celebrated turning 20. Nadya organized an intimate, private celebration for his birthday.
All of the other kids, including the octuplets, are now teenagers. They are fifteen years old and have a strict schedule. Nadya taught them the virtues of self-reliance and self-control at an early age:
They work out first thing in the morning and homeschool.
They look after one another, cook, clean, and help out around the house during the day.
Reading, praying, and having in-depth conversations should all take place in the evenings.
Device use is strictly regulated. People watch TikTok and YouTube. People switch off their iPhones when it’s time to go to bed.
Most of the children eat vegan, just like Nadya. She closely monitors their mental and physical health.
