Kristina Ozturk: The 26-Year-Old Determined to Build a Family of 105 Children
At just 26 years old, Kristina Ozturk is already a mother to 22 children—and she’s far from done. Living in Georgia with her 58-year-old millionaire husband, Galip, Kristina has set her sights on a staggering goal: raising 105 children.
Kristina’s path to motherhood began when she was only 17, with the birth of her daughter Victoria from a previous relationship. Her family expanded dramatically after marrying Galip. Since 2020, the couple has welcomed 21 more children, all through surrogacy, enabling them to grow their household in record time.
From March 2020 to July 2021, the couple reportedly spent around €168,000 on surrogate pregnancies. With such a large brood to care for, they’ve hired 16 full-time nannies who live with them and help manage the day-to-day demands. Their yearly expense for child care alone reaches nearly $96,000.
Despite the help, Kristina is deeply involved in raising her children. “I spend every day with them and do everything any mother would,” she shared.
The children—most of them still toddlers—have a diverse set of names including Mustafa, Maryam, Ayrin, Alice, Hassan, Judy, Harper, Teresa, Hussein, Anna, Isabella, Ismail, Mehmet, Ahmet, Ali, Kristina, Alena, Sarah, Lockman, and Alparslan. The youngest of the group, Olivia, was born in January 2021.
Though both Kristina and Galip remain enthusiastic about expanding their family further, they’ve decided to put those plans on hold—for now. Kristina hasn’t ruled out the possibility of carrying future children herself, but she acknowledges the difficulties, especially with the demanding schedule and the physical strain of fertility treatments. “We’re not ready to commit to a final number just yet,” she said. “Everything has its moment.”
