The octuplets’ birthday is celebrated with a vegan donut party. In a video published by TMZ shows Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah being serenaded by their families before sinking their teeth into the sweet treats.
Nadya becomes a media personality around the birth of the children. Initially, this is mainly because of the medical debate about the practices of her fertility doctor. He replaces twelve embryos after an IFV treatment, eight of which result in a birth. The attending physician later loses his authority.
The octuplets are the only ones in the US whose children were born alive. In addition, the single mother has six older children: Elijah, 21, Amerah, 20, Joshua, 29, Aidan, 17, and twins Calyssa and Caleb, 13.
Nadya, who became famous overnight due to her exceptional pregnancy, tells in 2018 The New York Times to suffer from PTSD as a result of “all the reporters who have invaded her life over the years.”
“I rolled into a dark hole. There were no healthy opportunities for Octomom. I did what I was told and said what I was told,” said the desperate mother.
