On 26, January, 2009, six boys and two girls were delivered via cesarean section in the United States, making headlines worldwide.
Nadia Suleman, their mother, who was 34 at the time, was already a parent to six other children, bringing her total count to 14 kids, all of whom were conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) without a partner’s involvement.
Suleman, dubbed “Octomom” by the media, faced both criticism and praise. She insists her decision to have more children was driven by love, not a desire for fame or financial gain, although she did venture into reality television and other media projects to support her family.
Presently, Suleman’s family leads a modest yet stable life. Nadia is an active social media user, often sharing updates about her octuplets and advocating for a healthy, vegan lifestyle.
Despite the hurdles, the family portrays an image of happiness and unity.
