“Confessions of Octomom” follows Suleman (born Natalie Suleman) and her life today, as she raises the octuplets (who turned 16 years old in January) along with her six other children, who range in age from 17 to 23.
In addition to hearing from Suleman and her 14 kids — many who are speaking out and appearing on camera for the first time — the docuseries will also feature Octomom’s sperm donor, who has never come forward before. The series will also shine a light on Suleman’s fertility specialist, Dr. Michael Kamrava, who controversially implanted 12 embryos into her body — six times the typical amount. Kamrava does not appear in the documentary but Suleman does speak to her mixed emotions about the doctor, whose medical license was revoked in July 2011.
Per Lifetime, “For the first time, Suleman and her 14 children reveal a much different life than the world has ever been privy to before. The series also follows the octuplets through their challenges and triumphs, growing up in the spotlight and their desire to move beyond their now secluded life.”
This isn’t Suleman’s first television special of course: she famously appeared on Dr. Phil and Fox touted a two-hour “Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage” special that aired back in 2009.
