I have 22 children at the age of 26 and most of them were born in the space of a year | The Sun

SHE may only be 26-years-old, but Kristina Ozturk is already a mum to 22 kids – and plans to one day hit triple digits. 

Most of her bumper brood are just two and three-years-old, but the tantrums and short tempers common in this age bracket hasn’t deterred Kristina from having more children.

Her eldest child, an eight-year-old daughter named Victoria, was conceived naturally in a previous relationship. 

But 21 tots were all conceived by surrogates, with all but one of them being born in 2020.

The three-year-olds are Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet and Ahmet.

And the two-year-olds are Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman and Alparslan.

He was found guilty of illegal purchase and possession of drugs and psychotropic substances.

As the couple have been welcoming their brood via surrogacy, Galip will still be welcoming children into the world from behind bars.

Kristina met wealthy Galip while holidaying in the coastal town of Batumi in Georgia.

In February, Moscow-born Kristina released a book about her experience as a mega-mum. 

“It would seem that everything about raising children has already been written, but every day every parent is looking for useful information to give only the best to their children,” she said. 

“And I'm no exception. As a mother of 22 children, I can say for sure that there is no such thing as too much information: you can always find something new for yourself.

“After dozens, or even hundreds of articles, books, webinars and training, I decided to create my own book, where the most important information for young parents will be collected and structured bit by bit.”

Kristina has been doing most of the parenting on her own in recent months due to Galip’s arrest.

Back in June, she shared on Instagram that the “feeling of loneliness does not leave her even with such a large number of close people around”.
