When she gave birth to eight healthy infants at once over 16 years ago, this mother shot to fame. The mother of many already had six other children in addition to them. Now that all of the children have grown up, one of them is married and a father.
The world was shocked in 2009 when an American lady called Nadya Suleman used IVF to give birth to eight infants at once, or octuplets. In American medical history, it was a singular case.
Nadya had previously given birth to six children at that point, and now she had fourteen. No one was unconcerned, although some referred to her as a hero and others as reckless.
She was widely featured on TV and magazine covers for months after being called “Octomom” by the media.
It’s been sixteen years. What became of the woman who faced such great difficulties?
Today, Nadya is 49 years old. She wants to avoid the spotlight and has long distanced herself from public life.
She resides in a modest townhouse on the outskirts of a California city with her kids. They have few possessions and few luxuries, yet they are disciplined, loving, and well-organized.
The family recently commemorated two significant occasions:
Her son Joshua became a father, and Nadya became a grandmother. When his daughter was born, Nadya joyfully accepted her new duty.
Her oldest son Aidan, who has severe autism, celebrated his 20th birthday. For his birthday, Nadya planned a cozy, private gathering.
The octuplets and all the other children are now teenagers. They follow a rigid schedule and are fifteen years old. From a young age, Nadya instilled in them the values of independence and self-control:
They homeschool and work out first thing in the morning.
Throughout the day, they take care of each other, cook, clean, and assist with household tasks.
The evenings should be spent reading, praying, and having deep discussions.
The use of gadgets is highly regulated. YouTube and TikTok are watched. When it’s time to sleep, people turn off their smartphones.
Like Nadya, the majority of the kids follow a vegan diet. She keeps a close eye on their emotional and nutritional well.
