A 26-year-old woman has revealed how she has 22 biological children, stating that she won't stop until she has 100.

Parenting is something that many of us will venture into at some point in our lives, usually with the intention of having one, two, or three.

That being said, there is nothing wrong with wanting a big family, so if you can cope with having many children, then go for it.

One woman has had 22 children, and she's only 26 - which has left a few people scratching their heads wondering how that's possible given that the usual term from conception to delivery is nine months.

Kristina Ozturk, a 26-year-old Russian mother living in Georgia, has gained international attention by capturing her family in a heartwarming video that features a staggering 20 of her children born in just over a year.

Kristina, who aspires to have a total of 105 biological kids with her husband, millionaire Galip, 58, took to Instagram to share a glimpse into her extraordinary life.

Kristina, who hails from Moscow, met her husband Galip, a wealthy hotel owner, while on holiday in the picturesque coastal town of Batumi, Georgia.

Their whirlwind romance eventually led to a shared dream of a massive family. The couple decided to use surrogacy to expedite the process and started on their remarkable journey.

However, Galip's life took an unexpected turn earlier this year when he was sentenced to eight years in prison due to his involvement in illegal drug purchase and possession, per the Daily Mail.

The legal challenges have taken a toll on the family, as Kristina has opened up about the hardships of managing her extensive brood without her husband's presence.

In a recent Instagram post, Kristina shared the family's incredible journey, stating: "You have asked many times to make a video for you with the names and ages of the children. I heard you, I made a video with dates of birth..."

All but two of the kids were born in 2020. Victoria, Kristina's eldest, was born six years ago in a previous marriage and her youngest, Olivia, arrived in 2021.

As for the others, they consist of Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, and Alparslan.

In 2021, Kristina revealed that she was spending $81,000 a year on nannies for the kids and had spent around $168,000 on surrogates.

All of the potential surrogates are vetted beforehand, with Kristina saying: "I gave birth to my eldest daughter Vika myself six years ago. The rest of the children are genetically ours from my husband and I, but were carried by surrogates."

The family's extraordinary journey into parenthood has not been without its trials and tribulations, with Kristina revealing that one surrogate mother wanted to keep the child after birth.

Because the child was genetically Kristina's and Galip's via IVF - the surrogate had no choice but to hand over the baby.

Yet, this family remains committed to their dream of having more children and expanding their brood, with plans to potentially reach over 100 kids in the future.

A 24-year-old woman with 22 children has revealed that she wants her huge family to keep growing.

When Christina Ozturk was 17 years old, she gave birth naturally to her first child, the Daily Mail reports. Fast forward seven years, and the Russian-born mom now has 21 more children - and they're all her biological kids.

Speaking to Fabulous, Ozturk revealed that she met her 57-year-old husband, Galip, while on vacation in Georgia. She says that the pair "dreamed about having a big, happy family", and so, got to work on making their dream a reality.

With the help of surrogates, the couple was able to welcome 10 children throughout 2020. Since then, the brood has continued to grow. In fact, per Fabulous, the couple says that they have spent over $190,000 (£138,000) in surrogates over the last 14 months.

The couple are now doting parents to Alparslan, Kristina, Ayrin, Sarah, Alice, Viktoria, Maryam, Hasan, Anna, Mehmet, Ismail, Hussein, Olivia, Judy, Ali, Ahmet, Alena, Mustafa, Lokman, Harper, Isabella, and Teresa.

Now, living in Batumi, Georgia, the family has 16 live-in nannies to help care for all those kids.

According to the Daily Mail, Christina and Galip had originally planned on having one child every year of their relationship. But after realizing that their reproductive systems wouldn't support this goal, they went down the surrogate route instead.

The mom says that she has no contact with the surrogates, and that despite the clinic being "amazed", the staff are also happy to help the couple with their dream of being a big family.

She also frequently shares her unique mothering journey over on her Instagram account, where she has previously stated that she wants to have over 100 children.

And despite the amazing results the family has had with surrogacy, Christina says that she hasn't ruled out being pregnant in the future - but right now, she's focusing on being with her babies.

For costs, the mom says that they spend around "$5,000-$6,000 (£3,500-£4,200)" in essentials for the children. The family lives in a three-story mansion, with the kids sharing two/three per room.

When asked if it is possible to give that many children the attention they need, Christina says she "doing her best", but admits that her "favorite" child is her husband.

Christina tells Fabulous that she's not sure if they will one day become the biggest family in the world, but she's certain they'll be the happiest.

A mom-of-22 who had has revealed that she "can't stand the silence" after her husband was arrested for money laundering.

Russian woman Kristina Ozturk, 24, lived with her 57-year-old husband Galip Ozturk in the Georgian republic of Adjara before his arrest on May 31.

As well as Ozturk giving birth to one of her children, she and her husband have spent more than $260,000 on surrogates between March 2020 and July 2021, welcoming another 21 children into their family.

The couple has also spent a further $124,000 a year on 16 live-in nannies who care for their large family.

However, their plans to grow their family even further have been put on hold after Ozturk was arrested following a police raid in Georgia.

As reported by Bloomberg, the businessman - who owns the bus company Metro Turizm - was detained on charges related to money laundering and falsifying documents.

Per News.com.au, this isn't the first time Ozturk was caught by law enforcement. In 2018, he fled to Georgia after being sentenced to life imprisonment for a 1996 murder of a man named Kuvvet Köseoğlu in his home country of Turkey.

Since her husband's arrest, the mother-of-22 has been outspoken in sharing her struggles on social media, writing she "can't stand" Ozturk's absence.

In an emotional statement shared to her 225,000 followers on Instagram on June 8, Kristina wrote: "The feeling of loneliness does not leave me even with such a large number of close people around."

"I'm used to my husband always being at home, always around. Since Galip has been working exclusively from home for the last few years, we spent time together constantly during the day," Kristina added. "At night, when the children were put to bed, we chatted incessantly."

"Now it's more difficult than ever for me, I can't stand silence, I can't stand his absence, I can't sleep and wake up alone, I can't see his empty workplace... I can't see his smile, I can't hear his voice, I can't feel his embrace," she added.

The couple met in the Georgian city of Batumi when Kristina was a single mother-of-one and was on vacationing there from Russia.

Per Daily Mail, Kristina said it was love at first sight when she met her husband and described him as her "mentor, guide, and fairytale prince all rolled into one".

The pair's first child Mustafa was born on March 10, 2020, while their most recent and 21st child, Judy, is just three-months-old.

A woman who agreed to become a surrogate after seeing a $120,000 ad on Instagram later found out who the baby she was carrying was reportedly really for.

The woman, who has been identified only as "Judy", said she had been considering surrogacy as a way to "build a better life" for herself and her seven-year-old daughter.

Judy signed an agreement with Patriot Conceptions, a California-based, veteran-founded surrogacy and egg donation agency, in hopes that the money would allow her to move into a home of her own, Metro reported.

But while she was pregnant, she learned through reporters that the circumstances surrounding the father were not what she had been told.

Judy says she was told the parent was a single father

The woman said she was told she was carrying a child for a "single father who wanted to grow his family".

But she later discovered that the dad was reportedly Xu Bo, the 48-year-old Chinese gaming billionaire behind the online gaming company Duoyi.

Reports have claimed Xu has fathered more than 100 US-born children through surrogacy agencies and wants to create a family dynasty.

Judy said she believed the agency should have disclosed more information before she agreed to the arrangement.

"The agency should've been very transparent from before getting matched… about who it is that you’re having a baby for and what the family is," she told CBS News.

She also shared that she was informed that around two dozen other women were carrying babies for the billionaire at the same time.

"I can't be exact, but I know it was a large number, and I just kind of sat with that information thinking, 'You know, that’s a lot,'" she said. "That’s a lot of kids at one time."

Judy ultimately decided to continue with the pregnancy after speaking with friends and family.

Following her experience, The California Post contacted Patriot Conceptions for its response.

The agency said Xu had presented himself as a single father and stressed that it had "zero affiliations" with another case involving a different agency, in which another woman was also allegedly carrying a child for the billionaire.

"Conflating our agency with those unrelated arrangements is materially misleading," Patriot Conceptions said.

The company also announced new measures to give future surrogates more information and safeguards before agreeing to an arrangement.

"A surrogate should never have to become an investigator to understand the arrangement she is entering. In response to these industry-wide challenges, Patriot Conceptions is introducing a standardized pre-match disclosure framework -'Before You Accept' - and establishing an independent fund to guarantee surrogates access to independent legal and psychological counsel if material client facts change," they said.

Investigation raises questions over the surrogacy industry

Judy’s story comes amid a wider CBS News investigation into alleged abuse within the US surrogacy industry.

Whistleblowers told the outlet that "women can enter into agency contracts unaware they may carry children simultaneously with other surrogates for the same intended parents, or carry for foreign nationals who may never enter the country."

The investigation has also highlighted the experience of another woman, identified under the pseudonym Andrea.

Andrea reportedly found out that she would have to hand over the baby she had carried through surrogacy to a "completely different couple" from the people she had initially met.

There is currently no official tally documenting the total number of surrogacy births in the United States.

However, estimates suggest there may be as many as 10,000 each year.

Xu Bo has reportedly fathered more than 100 US-born children

Xu reportedly refers to himself as "China’s first father".

According to the Wall Street Journal, the billionaire aims to produce "50 high-quality sons," as part of an effort to keep his business in the "family".

The publication also reported that Xu has posted on his own social media about having fathered more than 100 babies through surrogacy.

He has also reportedly said he hopes that some of his US-born children could eventually marry Elon Musk's children.

Xu is not the only wealthy businessman to have fathered a large number of children, as Telegram founder Pavel Durov has helped conceive at least 100 children across 12 countries.

As of late 2025, the entrepreneur, who was worth $12.1 billion, had six "official" children with three different partners.

Durov has also donated to a sperm clinic for more than 15 years, with the clinic telling him that his donations had resulted in more than 100 pregnancies.

The Telegram founder has previously said that all of his children will be treated equally when it comes to his estate.

"I wrote my will very recently," he told French publication Le Point in an interview last year. "I make no difference between my children: There are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations. They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don’t want them to tear each other apart after my death."

Adult content creator Annie Knight, often dubbed “Australia’s Most Sexually Active Woman”, has made a candid confession about her long-term goals: she wants to be a mother.

The 28-year-old once made headlines after claiming that she slept with a whopping 300 people in a single year, including five on the same day.

Speaking on the One Night with Steiny podcast, the star revealed that motherhood is something she definitely envisions for herself.

“I want to have kids eventually, for sure,” Knight said. She went on to explain that her parenting style will mirror the values she grew up with.

“I’m going to raise my kids the way I was; that you don’t judge people. Don’t waste your life judging people. If you don’t like what I do, that’s fine. But there is no need to hate on other people,” she told listeners.

The confession sparked conversation among fans, many of whom praised Knight for speaking openly about her personal life and future goals.

Record-breaking earnings from OnlyFans

Knight’s revelations about motherhood follow another recent headline-grabbing confession. On Reality Check Show, she revealed the staggering amount of money she once earned from a single fan on OnlyFans: US $33,000 (AU $50,616).

The subscriber, she explained, paid for a combination of extended video calls and custom content. “We do a lot of video calls. That could be $5,000 sometimes if it’s a long one. Or it could be custom videos, sexting,” Knight said.

Host Shuan Maroof admitted shock at the figure, asking: “How does that even happen? How much content did he buy?” Knight confirmed that the bulk of the fan’s spending came from highly personalized interactions.

Annie Knight's dream home and engagement

Earlier this year, Knight celebrated another milestone when she purchased her $600,000 dream home on the Gold Coast, Mail Online reports. She described the four-bedroom property as “perfect” to her followers on social media.

Her personal life has also taken a romantic turn. In March, Knight got engaged to her long-time friend and now-fiancé, Henry Brayshaw. The pair rekindled their relationship just a week before the proposal, which took place over a candlelit dinner in Beverly Hills.

Brayshaw, the 27-year-old son of sports commentator James Brayshaw, presented her with a dazzling three-carat oval-cut diamond ring, estimated to be worth between $140,000 and $200,000.

Wedding plans already underway

Knight has confirmed she has already started planning the wedding, with the couple eyeing a date in late 2026. She has hinted that the ceremony will take place in Australia and will reflect their shared history and deep bond.

Between her professional success, new home, and upcoming marriage, Knight’s next chapter is shaping up to be a transformative one. And despite her unconventional career, she has made it clear that when the time comes, family will be at the heart of it.
