Octomom’s octuplets turn 15 – their lives now.
Natalie “Octomom” Suleman became a worldwide sensation in 2009 when she made history by giving birth to the first surviving octuplets. Already a mother of six—Amerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Caleb, Joshua, and Aidan—Suleman’s family expanded to an astonishing 14 children with the addition of Noah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Josiah, Makai, Maliyah, and Nariyah.
However, her incredible story has been marred by controversy. Suleman underwent in-vitro fertilization (IVF) for all her pregnancies, with Dr. Michael Kamrava supervising the procedures. In 2008, Kamrava implanted 12 embryos into Suleman, and eight of those embryos resulted in live births.
Suleman later asserted that she had not consented to such a high number, claiming that Kamrava misled her while she was under medication.
Kamrava refuted this, insisting that he acted according to her wishes. Nevertheless, the California state medical board revoked Kamrava’s license in 2011, citing “gross negligence,” as reported by Reuters.
Suleman’s newfound fame led her down an unconventional career path as she struggled to provide for her large family. At different times, she worked as a stripper, appeared in an adult film, and participated in boxing matches.
Additionally, she took part in a PETA campaign promoting the spaying and neutering of animals. Financial difficulties continued, prompting Suleman to file for bankruptcy in 2012, reporting $1 million in debt, according to PEOPLE.
In 2014, her challenges escalated when she was charged with welfare fraud for not reporting $26,000 of income. Suleman pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor, resulting in probation, community service, and a requirement to repay the unreported funds.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Suleman has chosen to step back from the limelight and embrace a more peaceful lifestyle. In 2018, she disclosed that she was working full-time as a counselor while occasionally taking part in international photoshoots to support her family financially. She has also received public assistance to help her family.
More Cool StuffSuleman has been candid about her past with her children, highlighting how moving away from fame has allowed them to create a more stable and genuine life.
Her octuplets marked their 15th birthday on January 26, 2024. Suleman expressed her pride on Instagram, stating, “Happy 15th birthday Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Josiah, and Makai! I am so proud of the young adults you are becoming! Always stay true to yourselves, humble, kind, and honest.”
Currently enjoying a more peaceful life, Suleman is dedicated to nurturing her family, appreciating their affection and the insights gained from her challenging experiences.
HE CALLED IT "HIS HOTEL." BY MIDNIGHT, HE WOULD LEARN IT HAD NEVER BEEN HIS.
HE CALLED IT "HIS HOTEL." BY MIDNIGHT, HE WOULD LEARN IT HAD NEVER BEEN HIS.
My husband proudly called it his luxury hotel.
He forgot one detail.
A detail that would destroy everything before the night was over.
For eleven years, I stood beside Marcus.
I helped build every hotel.
Every resort.
Every expansion that turned his name into a symbol of luxury.
I sacrificed my career, my time, and pieces of myself so the empire could rise.
Then, in a single night, he repaid every sacrifice with public humiliation.
He ordered hotel security to throw me out.
Out of the very property I had helped build from the ground up.
His mistress walked behind him wearing my silk robe.
Pinned to her chest was the antique sapphire brooch my late mother had entrusted to me.
The lobby fell silent.
Guests stared.
Employees lowered their eyes.
Not one person dared to step forward.
Marcus looked at me with a smile full of arrogance.
"You don't belong here anymore."
What he never realized was that I had spent eleven years protecting one secret.
A secret buried beneath trusts, holding companies, confidential agreements, and corporate filings.
The hotels.
The resorts.
The luxury empire he loved calling his...
...had never legally belonged to him.
Standing beneath the flashing lights outside the entrance, I made one phone call.
"Father."
Silence answered first.
Then his calm voice.
"So... he finally crossed the line?"
"Yes."
He didn't hesitate.
"Then we're done protecting him."
Within minutes, attorneys began reviewing ownership documents.
Board members received emergency calls.
Senior executives were given new instructions.
Control of the company shifted faster than Marcus could imagine.
By the time the clock struck midnight, he would finally understand the difference between managing a luxury empire...
...and actually owning it.
💔 Why did Isabella hide her family's ownership for more than a decade?
💔 Who truly controlled the hotels, the investments, and the billion-dollar empire Marcus believed was his?
💔 And why would the man who called himself the owner soon be denied access to every single property?
