“Octomom” shares first day of school photo
Nadya “Octomom” Suleman has shared a photo of her eight youngest children on their first day of the new school year.
The former porn star, who now goes by Natalie, already had six children when she made headlines after falling pregnant with octuplets in 2009 via IVF treatment.
The now 47-year-old has shared a photo of Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah all smiling at the camera and arms around each other.
“First day of 8th grade. Be proud of yourselves kids for being kind, respectful, and helpful to all your fellow peers, teachers and staff,” Natalie wrote.
“You are exceptional role models to the 6th and 7th graders.
“I love you.”
Natalie then noted that her six children, Ameerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Jonah, Joshua and Aidan, did not want to be a part of the photo.
“I respect their choice, so should you,” she wrote.
Natalie occasionally shares family photos to update fans who have been following her since she fell pregnant with the octuplets.
In a previous interview, she got candid about being in the spotlight and confessed that she “never wanted the attention”.
“I was pretending to be a fake, a caricature, which is something I’m not, and I was doing it out of desperation and scarcity so I could provide for my family,” she told The New York Times in December 2018.
“I’ve been hiding from the real world all my life.”
