Remember Octomom? Lifetime certainly does. The network premieres its new docuseries, “Confessions of Octomom,” this Monday, offering a look at the life of Natalie Suleman, the woman who made headlines worldwide for giving birth to the world’s first surviving set of octuplets via IVF.
The first episode, “The Birth of Octomom,” revisits that moment, examining the media frenzy that ensued and the long-term impact on Suleman and her now-14 children. It’s a story that goes beyond the tabloid headlines, exploring the choices Suleman made and the complicated reality of raising a large family under the glare of public scrutiny.
With her octuplets turning sixteen in January 2025 (and six older children ranging from 17 to 23), Suleman has spent years largely out of the spotlight. “Confessions of Octomom” aims to tell her story from her perspective, addressing the controversies and offering a glimpse into her life today.
Tune in to Lifetime on Monday, March 10th at 10:00 PM for the premiere.
