LOS ANGELES (AP) — Much has transpired since Nadya Suleman became “Octomom” by giving birth to eight premature but otherwise healthy children on Jan. 26, 2009. She’s gone from medical marvel — hers are the only known full set of octuplets to live past their first week — to national punch line for her various money-generating efforts
The 38-year-old single mother of 14 children (she had six before the octuplets) has been a porn actress, nude model, celebrity boxer and birth-control pitchwoman as she’s struggled to support herself and her children. She’s lost a home to foreclosure, teetered on the brink of bankruptcy and fought with nannies and others who tried to help her, leaving in her wake a string of publicists, lawyers and good-Samaritan types who no longer want to talk about her.
