Kristina Ozturk welcomed 20 of her children within a little over a year.
At just 26 years old, this mother has stunned many by sharing that she has already given birth to 22 biological children—and hopes to eventually have 100 in total.
For most, raising a single child can be overwhelming, but Kristina has taken on an extraordinary challenge, dedicating herself to looking after nearly two dozen young ones.
The Russian-born mother shares her large family with millionaire businessman Galip Ozturk.
Each year, the couple invests a substantial amount in hiring nannies to assist with childcare, as most of their little ones arrived via surrogacy.
Galip has children from an earlier relationship, but together, they have built a family of 22, all biologically Kristina’s through surrogacy.
Between March 2020 and July 2021, they reportedly spent around $180,000 on surrogacy, leading to their rapidly expanding and extraordinary family, which includes Victoria, Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, Alparslan, and Olivia.
Remarkably, 20 of their children were born in a span of just over a year, forming a family unlike any other.

In a 2021 interview with Fabulous, Ozturk revealed that having a large family had always been her aspiration.
“My husband also envisioned having a big, joyful family. So, once we met, we began turning our dream into reality,” she explained.
“Our romantic connection has evolved, but our entire lives have transformed, not just our relationship.”
Looking back on their journey, she added, “Our surrogacy clinic is amazed but thrilled to support our dream of having a large family. I’m not sure if we’ll be the biggest family in the world, but we are definitely aiming to be the happiest family for sure.”

Although she has a team of nannies to help, Ozturk stressed that she still takes on many of the tasks that mothers typically manage.
“The only difference is the number of kids,” she noted, adding, “Each day is unique, from organizing staff schedules to shopping for my family. I can tell you one thing – my days are never dull.”
For many, 22 children might seem like more than enough, but for Kristina and Galip, it’s just the start.
The couple has openly talked about the possibility of growing their family to include over 100 kids.

However, they have opted to postpone any additional surrogacy plans until their current children are a bit older.
This choice may also be impacted by Galip’s legal issues, as he was sentenced in 2023 to eight years in prison for the illegal purchase and possession of drugs and psychotropic substances.
After her husband’s arrest, Ozturk expressed appreciation to her supporters, thanking them for their “kind words and support” during a tough period.
