I’m a mum-of-10 & now my daughter’s pregnant at 21 – I couldn’t be prouder

WITH 10 kids to raise, Taina Licciardo-Toivola's hands are already pretty full.

But now her family is growing yet again – as her daughter Cleopatra is pregnant at 21.


Finnish-Australian mum Taina has seven sons and three daughters with husband Paul.

They are Romeo, Jerusalem, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, Omega, D'Artagnan, Nefertiti, KingJames, Leonardo, Jenna and Aphrodite.

Cleopatra announced her pregnancy last month on the family's YouTube channel – posing in a white dress in a field, in a Meghan Markle-esque video.

The clip is captioned: "Coming 2022. Cleopatra baby & baby Australia".

Taina's offspring are known for their YouTube vlogs where they all dress in matching white T-shirts and show love for their large family.

But for a while, Cleopatra was absent as she moved to LA to live with her husband, John James Jose.

The couple have now split and Cleopatra is back living with her family in Australia – where she presumably plans to raise her baby.

Breaking the news on YouTube, her mum wrote: "Congratulations to our daughter Cleopatra on her beautiful baby.
