Octomom, whose real name is Natalie “Nadya” Suleman, has corrected the record, saying that the world was misinformed about her family.
Though cramped and small, the 49-year-old TV personality’s house is well-organized. Before PEOPLE’s cameras arrive for this week’s cover story, her 16-year-old octuplets—Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah, and Jeremiah—quickly and quietly tidy their townhouse in Orange County, California, on a sunny February morning.
Nadya’s 19-year-old autistic son Aidan, who was at school that day, and her 18-year-old twins, Calyssa and Caleb, were not present.
Her three eldest children, Joshua, 21, Amerah, and Elijah, 23, have all moved out but still live close by and visit often.
