Natalie (formerly Nadya) Suleman – the so-called “Octomom” – has added yet another young addition to her already impressively large family. The mom of 14 announced Sunday on her Instagram that she is now a grandmother to a baby girl.
Suleman, 49, accompanied the announcement with a photo of an infant’s tiny foot behind a pink baby blanket.
“Thank you my son and my lovely daughter-in-law for giving us this beautiful gift!” wrote the mom who made international headlines by giving birth to the first surviving octuplets in 2009. “We are so blessed that she is a new addition to our family! Baby girl you are so very loved and we can’t wait to watch you grow!! 8/30/24 🙏🏽❤️,” Suleman added, seemingly referring to the little newborn’s date of birth.
Octomom became pregnant with her octuplets through in vitro fertilization methods. She gave birth to the children through a Caesarean section.
Six boys and two girls, the octuplets were given the biblical names Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah. Suleman was already a mom of six children before the octuplets came along: Amerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Caleb, Joshua and Aidan.
The new grandmother did not reveal which of her 10 sons was the father of the young baby girl.
Suleman has kept a mostly low profile over the past decade – save for the occasional television appearance. However, she has maintained an active social media presence on Instagram, allowing fans to have small glimpses into the life of a mom raising 14 children.
This past January, Suleman celebrated the 15th anniversary of her octuplets’ birth with an Instagram post wishing happy birthdays to all eight children along with a throwback photo of them as babies in front of a birthday cake.
The caption read: “I am so proud of the young adults you are growing into! Stay true to yourselves, humble, kind, and honest. I am so grateful for your love, and am beyond blessed to have you in my life. I love you ❤️”
