Get to Know Nadya Suleman, aka the ‘Octomom,’ Now a Grandmother for the First Time!
Nadya Suleman became a household name in 2009 when she welcomed the first surviving octuplets in history.
Already a mother of six children—Amerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Caleb, Joshua, and Aidan—Suleman became a mother to a remarkable 14 with the addition of the octuplets: Noah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Josiah, Makai, Maliyah, and Nariyah.
Despite her past struggles with her fertility doctor and intense media scrutiny, Suleman is now in a very different place, celebrating a new addition to her family. On Sunday, September 22, she took to Instagram to share the joyous news, posting a photo of her baby granddaughter’s tiny foot peeking out from behind a pink blanket. Without revealing which of her 10 sons had welcomed the baby, Suleman wrote in the caption, “Thank you my son and my lovely daughter-in-law for giving us this beautiful gift! 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 🙏🏽❤️.”
