Mum who gave birth to octuplets defies critics as she celebrates kids' 14th birthday

A mum who became famous when she gave birth to octuplets has celebrated her children's 14th birthday via a touching post on social media, in which she said she is "blessed beyond measure" to have them in her life.

Naya Suleman, who is also known as 'Octomom', took to Instagram to share a picture of her eight children - six boys and two girls - all sitting on one sofa with balloons behind them that spelt out the word 'birthday' to mark their special day on January 27.

The 47-year-old single mum - who also has six other children who were born before her octuplets - heaped praise on her family in the post, as she said her kids had grown up to be some of the most "loving, thoughtful, and humble human beings" she has ever known.
