Nadya Suleman (born July 11, 1975) is an American media personality and mother who gained international attention for giving birth to octuplets in January 2009. She was born in Fullerton, California, United States.

Suleman became known as "Octomom" after the birth of her octuplets, which made her only the second person in the United States to give birth to a set of octuplets. The octuplets were conceived via in vitro fertilization and were born nine weeks premature.

Prior to the birth of the octuplets, Suleman was already a mother to six children, all of whom were also conceived through in vitro fertilization. The circumstances surrounding the birth of the octuplets sparked controversy and debate about fertility treatments and the ethics of multiple births.

Following the media frenzy surrounding the birth of the octuplets, Suleman faced financial difficulties and public scrutiny. She appeared in various television interviews and reality shows to share her story and provide for her large family.

In addition to her media appearances, Suleman has also faced legal issues and financial challenges over the years. Despite the challenges she has encountered, she remains dedicated to caring for her children and providing for their well-being.
