Kristina Ozturk, 26, and her husband Galip are already parents to 22 children and hope to eventually grow their family to 105. Living in Georgia, Kristina has drawn widespread attention for her extraordinary parenting ambitions. With her 58-year-old millionaire husband Galip by her side, she currently mothers 22 children and envisions a much larger household.
Her motherhood journey began at 17, when she gave birth to her daughter Victoria from a previous relationship. Since 2020, Kristina and Galip have welcomed 21 more children, all born through surrogates. This method enabled them to expand their family quickly, with the majority of the babies arriving in a short span. Between March 2020 and July 2021, the couple spent nearly €168,000 on surrogacy arrangements.

To care for their ever-growing family, the Ozturks employ 16 live-in nannies, costing them about $96,000 each year. Kristina remains deeply involved in day-to-day parenting, saying, “I’m always with the kids, doing all the usual things a mom would.”
Their children, most of whom are still toddlers, have names such as Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, and Alparslan. The youngest, Olivia, was born in January 2021.
Although Kristina and Galip are still passionate about adding more children to their family, they’ve chosen to pause for now, wanting their current children to grow a bit older first. Kristina hasn’t ruled out having another baby herself but admits it’s demanding — both physically due to IVF treatments and emotionally because of the responsibilities of raising many small children. As she put it, “We’re not ready to settle on a final number just yet. Everything happens in its own time.”
