I’m a mum-of-12 & trolls bully me for my mammoth brood – they say it’s like a nursery & ask if they have the same dad

THEY’RE a family of 14 who dance on TikTok, but it’s not their dancing that has everyone talking.

Iris and Storm Purnell, from the US, have revealed that cru trolls often make comments about the giant family.

Speaking to Truly TV, Iris revealed her family went viral on TikTok in 2021 with their dance videos – but it’s also attracted negativity from online trolls.

After the matriarch and patriarch comes Malikhai and Junior, both 16, Jahni, 14, and Trinity, 13.

Next is Messiah, 11, JoJo, 10, Love, nine and Seven who, funnily enough, is currently seven-years-old and Michael, six.

The youngest members of the family are Royal, five, Heavenly, three and two-year-old Hope.

The mum revealed that the negative comments would sometimes get to her, especially trolls who ask if the children all have the same mother and father.

One wrote: “Wow such a large family are they all yours?” While another asked: “Is it the same mother and father?”

Other rude comments the couple has received include comparing the family to a nursery, such as ‘Is it a daycare” or “Is it a class?”

The couple has been together for over 16 years, and Iris revealed over on her TikTok account that she has been pregnant for 16 years in a row.

Storm admits he didn’t see himself having 12 children, and it dawned on him he had a large family when they got to eight children.

But he hadn’t considered whether his wife, Iris, wanted more, before stopping at 12.

And having 12 children isn’t always easy, the parents reveal they spend around $500 a week on food for their bumper brood.

Although the couple has received negative comments because of their giant family, plenty of people took to the comments section to praise them.

One wrote: “Beautiful family, love you guys…Keep going no matter what people say.”

Another person added: “And yet I struggle with 2 children trying to give them the attention I think they need from me. I give it to these parents!! Kids look happy, healthy and have great parents.”

A third penned: “Happy for them as long as they can provide finance, love, and values. Great.”
