Nadya’s Background
Many of Nadya’s followers have asked about her background and origins, so she cleared this all up in this post about her dad. She captioned, “Happy Father’s Day to my dad “Eddie” (a nickname he adopted to sound more American since emigrating from Jerusalem, Palestine fifty years ago)”. One follower commented “Love this. But why have you given your kids Jewish names when your father is Muslim?”. We were wondering the same thing, so she cleared it all up with her reply, “Yes absolutely, and when my father immigrated to America, he befriended many Israelis and loved all people unconditionally”. She added how “This is how I grew up, loving all human beings, and embracing differences. Sad how America is so polarized in recent years. I pray one day we will all unite”.
Why We Don’t Hear So Much From ‘Octomom’ Anymore
Whilst Nadya has been in and out of the media spotlight, and in the public eye as ‘Octomom’ for years, we actually don’t here so much from her in the press anymore. This might be because Nadya employed a PR agency and has been careful with what she shares about her family. Another reason is because she’s also careful not to ‘exploit’ her family so much. On a recent social media post, Nadya explained, “I have always been against exploiting kids on a “docu-series” or “reality” type show (am aware consistent filming can be deleterious to a child’s developmental process); and all the documentaries we have done have been filmed and aired only in international countries.” However, she did add that since her children are older now, “At this point in time, my family and I would be open to an American documentary.”
