Nadya had already become a media sensation before her octuplets were born, with news channels, websites, and newspapers all reporting on her unusual pregnancy. People began to recognize her, and even though some didn’t know her real name, almost everyone knew her as Octomom. Nadya tried to keep control of the story and the various reports about her, and she considered using the attention to help financially support her large family. She hired a public relations team after giving birth to her octuplets in the hopes of being able to control the story about her that was shared with the public, but this proved to be a difficult task.
