Natalie “Nadya” Suleman — a.k.a. Octomom — has returned to social media after an almost eight-month hiatus.
“Though this past 12 months has been some of the difficult seasons of my life, I’ll a minimum of know that my beautiful family will all the time be here to like and support me at my highest and lowest points,” Suleman, 51, captioned a Monday, July 13, Instagram carousel. The post featured a throwback photo of Suleman with all 14 of her children including the octuplets she gave birth to in 2009.
Noting that she celebrated her birthday just someday prior, Suleman continued, “Thanks to all my 14 kids, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, for making me feel so special on my birthday yesterday.” (Suleman has not publicly revealed the identity of her daughter-in-law, but she did confirm the arrival of a granddaughter in August 2024.)
Suleman concluded the post, which was her first since a series of gym selfies in October 2025, with a nod to a brand new joint social media account seemingly run by two of her daughters, who arrived as a part of her octuplets. “I like you all a lot ❤️And a special thanks to my two lovely daughters Maliyah and Nariyah @solomontwins2009,” she wrote.
The carousel also included two throwback snaps of Maliyah and Nariyah, each 17, getting involved in some baking in a kitchen.
The siblings, who shared their first joint Instagram post on July 1, wished their mom a glad birthday on the identical day that Suleman returned to the social media platform. “Joyful birthday mom!! Thanks for loving and protecting all of us throughout our lives; thanks for instilling in us the worth of health, fitness, and self care; and most significantly, thanks for raising us with the Lord, teaching us to like and respect all living things,” the sisters captioned their very own carousel that featured several shots of their mom relaxing at home with the broader family. “From you we’ve learned to be resilient and persevere through all challenges life throws at us.”
Suleman rose to fame after giving birth to her octuplets via IVF in 2009. Prior to their protected arrival, making them the world’s first surviving set of octuplets, she was mother to 6 older children: Elijah (born in 2001), Amerah (born in 2002), Joshua (born in 2003), Aiden (born in 2005), and fraternal twins Calyssa and Caleb (born in 2006).
In March 2025, Suleman exclusively told Us Weekly that she was spending $5,000 every month to easily feed her children before further funds were required to take care of every thing else. “It’s food, rent, bills and repeat. Food, rent, bills,” she told Us on the time. “They grow after which the food they need grows as well. To start with, I wasn’t spending 1 / 4 of that. Now it’s more.”
