If you look at Nadya’s kids, their complexions vary from dark to light, brown to blue, short to tall.
The reason this is possible, despite all of them coming from the same mother, is that different genes are expressed in different embryos, and with a large, 14-person wide sample, there have been ample opportunities for Nadya’s various genes to express themselves in different ways.
Take the two siblings in this photo, for instance; Nariyah and Noah are actually from the same set of octuplets, but they’ve expressed their mother’s genetics in very different ways.

While the diets and physical activities of her children vary, Nadya’s octuplets are all raw vegans, and all very physically active.
They love sports, and even participate in marathons and long-distance runs!
In this photo, taken in February 2018, Nadya’s octuplets are pictured just after they’ve completed the Russ Miller Memorial 5k race – but the kids do much more than just run races.
Read on to see how the kids choose to spend their time!
