Starting Over
At some point, Nadya had to concede that letting the “Octomom” persona and the media circus around it was doing her and her children no good.
She felt like she had become a caricature of herself, and that she was living a life that was so far removed from who she truly wanted to be, that she had to make a change – for her children’s sake, and for her own.
It was then that she changed her name from Natalie Suleman to Nadya, and went on to finish her master’s degree in college, which allowed her to go on to work as a family therapist.
But how were her kids doing?
What Happened Since?
The media hubhub around Nadya and her family died down around the time she changed her name,
and today, her octuplets are all a little over 9 years old – and doing really well.
Nadya still chronicles their lives in her very active Instagram account, which she called “the Solomon Family,” and all eight of her youngest kids now adhere to a very active and healthy lifestyle – and to a raw vegan diet.
