Nariyah Suleman is one of the famous octuplets born to Natalie "Nadya" Suleman. She is breaking her silence on what life has been like growing up in a household of fourteen siblings. As she and her siblings approach their 16th birthday on January 26, she is offering a rare glimpse into the sacrifices and strength that have defined their family.

The now-15-year-old speaks about her mother’s struggles, recalling how Natalie gave up everything to raise her children. She sacrificed friendships, personal time, and even her own dignity to ensure her kids had the best upbringing possible.

The teen admires her mother’s resilience, saying it is time people recognize what she endured for their sake.

Nariyah remembers how classmates would bring up her mom’s past, sometimes mocking or judging their family. But she and her siblings learned to block out the noise, standing by their mother and each other.

The Octoplets Have A 'Disciplined' & Strict Family

Despite the chaos surrounding their early years, the Suleman household remains a structured and disciplined one. Nariyah describes her mother as incredibly strict, a trait she has come to respect. Unlike what people may assume, Natalie does not indulge them.

She enforces rules, keeps them focused on their education, and instills a strong sense of responsibility. Nariyah believes this has played a huge role in shaping their character growing up.

The Octoplets and Mom Have Movies & Docuseries Coming Up

The Suleman kids have largely remained out of the public eye, choosing to focus on their family life. They are homeschooled and stay close to one another, forming a tight-knit bond that many large families lack. Nariyah insists their connection is not just about growing up together. It is about shared experiences and unwavering support.
