Nadya Suleman, also known as "Octomom," is officially a grandmother.

Suleman, 49, shared an Instagram post on Sunday announcing that her son and daughter-in-law welcomed a baby girl.

"Thank you my son and my lovely daughter in law for giving us this beautiful gift!" We are so blessed that she is a new addition to our family! Baby girl you are so very loved and we can’t wait to watch you grow!! 8/30/24," the social media post reads.

To provide for her 14 children, Suleman has worked as a porn actress, nude model, celebrity boxer and birth-control pitchwoman. Before becoming known as "Octomom," Suleman used her bachelor's degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, to work at a state mental hospital.

When Suleman was studying for a master's in counseling, she became pregnant with her octuplets. All 14 of Suleman's children were born through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments provided by Beverly Hills physician Dr. Michael Kamrava.

Suleman, who had been married from 1996 to 2008, has never publicly identified the father of any of her children. She confirmed it was not her ex-husband, but rather a friend who donated the sperm used to create the 60 embryos that authorities say Kamrava implanted in her over the years.

Suleman was also charged with welfare fraud in 2014, but she was ultimately given probation and ordered to pay $26,000 in restitution. She was facing up to five years and eight months in prison if convicted.
