‘Octomom’ Nadya Suleman Gives Rare Update On How She Stays Fit After Welcoming 14 Children

Nadya Suleman is giving an update on life at home with 14 kids! The 47-year-old was dubbed “Octomom” after welcoming octuplets in 2009. She was already mom to six kids at the time, so once she gave birth, she became mom to 14 little ones. After she welcomed her octuplets, the Fullerton, Calif. native took a step back from the spotlight, but on Tuesday she shared a rare update about how she juggles parenthood and her mental health. “Lifting weights has been my method of constructively channeling stress, consistently, for over 30 years,” she wrote. Even though Nadya always enjoyed weightlifting, she admitted it became a more crucial part of her routine after sustaining multiple injuries from welcoming her octuplets. “Such disabilities would render me incapacitated if I were to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Though it seems counterintuitive, the more active I am, the less pain I experience,” she wrote.
