Octomom Natalie Suleman & Teen Octuplets Reveal the Truth About Life With 14 Kids

Sixteen years after making history as the mother of the world’s first surviving octuplets, Natalie “Nadya” Suleman—widely known as Octomom—is stepping back into the spotlight. In this exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Suleman reflects on her extraordinary journey, from the chaos of sudden fame to raising 14 children as a single mother. With the release of her new Lifetime film and docuseries, she opens up about the challenges, misconceptions, and biggest regrets from her past—including not taking legal action against her fertility doctor.

Suleman reveals that Dr. Michael Kamrava implanted 12 embryos during her final IVF treatment—far exceeding medical guidelines—which led to the birth of her octuplets. While she once dreamed of a large family, she never expected the circumstances that followed. Now, she’s looking back on it all with a fresh perspective, sharing intimate details about her experiences, motherhood, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. 'I Was Octomom' premieres March 8, while 'Confessions of Octomom' premieres March 10, both on Lifetime.
