Nadya Suleman shares children's paternity details in docuseries

Nadya Suleman, also known as "Octomom," has recently shared new information about the biological fathers of her children. Suleman became famous for giving birth to octuplets in 2009. In her new docuseries, "Confessions of Octomom," she clarifies the paternity of her kids, which includes six older children. Suleman reveals that she did not have any children with her ex-husband, Marcos Gutierrez. She married him to please her family but states that the marriage was not real. Suleman became determined to have children through other means. After experiencing unsuccessful attempts with her first sperm donor, she sought help from a friend who eventually agreed to donate sperm for her six oldest kids. The father of Suleman's older children—Elijah, Amerah, Joshua, Aidan, and twins Caleb and Calyssa—remains unnamed. While he initially donated sperm easily, Suleman had to persuade him for her fifth pregnancy, which resulted in twins. After that, he declined to donate again. Suleman then turned to a sperm bank, which resulted in her well-known octuplets: Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah, and Jonah. While the octuplets share an anonymous sperm donor, Suleman's older kids know their father's identity. Amerah discovered him on Facebook and had the option to contact him when she turned 18, but she chose not to as she considers him a stranger. Maliyah, one of the octuplets, expressed that she feels that her mother is enough for her without needing another father figure. In addition to discussing her children’s paternity, Suleman recently celebrated her first grandchild turning six months old. She shared her joy on social media, describing the baby as a blessing to the family. Suleman continues to share moments with her large family, expressing gratitude for the support and love they provide each other.
