Nadya Suleman was an overnight sensation and quickly became a household name when she gave birth to the largest number of kids at once since the Chukwu octuplets in 1998. To top it all off, she already has six kids, to begin with. There was a lot of controversy about how she was going to take care of the kids when details about her lifestyle came out, and the odds seemed to be completely against her. Where did Octomom disappear to and what is she up to today?

Where it all started
Nadya was the only child to an Iraqi father and Lithuanian mother that immigrated to the US when she was a child. As any single child can attest to, it gets pretty lonely not having anyone to play with or bother when your parents have had enough of you for a day or are away. That’s where Nadya’s desire to have a large family started off from. She would get what she wished for, but it would turn her whole life in its head.
