I’m 25 and have 22 babies – I was a teen mum and don’t regret a thing, I still want another 80 kids
HAVING one child can be exhausting, so imagine having 22.
Well, that’s how many Christina Ozturk, has and she’s hoping to have 80 more.
Christina welcomed her first baby into the world at just 17 years old.
The mum and her millionaire hubby Galip have 21 children welcomed by surrogates, a tactical move made by Christina who wanted to have as many children as quickly as possible.
Last year, Christina revealed to the Mail Online that she wanted 105 children, adding another 83 to the already giant family.
The busy mum also gave an insight into what it’s like being a mum to so many tots.

She explained: “I’m with the kids all the time, doing all the things that mums normally do.”
Christina added that she runs a tight ship in her house when it comes to childcare and all her babies sleep from 8pm to 6am.
The mum added every detail of her children’s days is recorded in diaries kept by the nannies.
“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,” she revealed.

The couple initially wanted a baby every year, but Christina soon realised her body wouldn’t be able to keep up with the demand.
So the couple turned to surrogacy, spending almost $10,000 per baby.
Christina said: “The clinic in Batumi chooses surrogate mothers for us and takes full responsibility for the process.
“We are not personally acquainted with surrogate mothers and do not have direct contact with them in order to avoid problems after pregnancy.”
But the past summer has been far from happy for the couple, with Galip being arrested for money laundering and document falsification charges in May.
Christina took to Instagram in August revealing the situation was ‘difficult.’
She wrote: “Many of you noticed that due to the events that happened in our family, it became more difficult for me to maintain the page.
“It’s hard to talk about some everyday things or joys when all thoughts are far away and only busy waiting for my husband to return to our home️.

“I’m sure this day will come soon, but for now I want to thank you very much for your support and kind words. It’s very important.”
Tyla reported that earlier this month a statement was written on Christina’s social media saying she would take a step back from social media until her husband’s return.
