Age difference is no matter because she has the mind of a 16-year-old

She once said she had no intention of getting back into the dating game because she'd made up her mind to be celibate until her 14 kids were adults, but Nadya Suleman recently had a change of heart.

The controversial mother of 14, whom the media dubbed Octomom after she gave birth to octuplets a little over 3 years ago, is now dating a 23-year-old bodybuilder.

She being 36, that makes him 13 years her junior, but Suleman tells TMZ paparazzi that they're indifferent to the age gap.

Paps caught up with Suleman at the airport, where her boyfriend Frankie G was waiting for her. After a peck on the cheek and a hug, the two took some questions from the paparazzi.

As Nadya sees it, the age difference is of little consequence since her “mind is 16” or 18.

She also reveals that they've been dating for “a little bit” and that they met “through church.” In fact, the couple is so religious that they head straight from the airport to church, or so they claim, as the video below will confirm.

However, with Octomom, it's not her age that first comes to mind but rather her impressive brood, whom she cares for all on her own.

Asked whether dating a mother of 14 wasn't a turn off, Frankie G notes that Suleman has qualities that make up for this potential bump in the road.

Luckily, he loves children.

“It has its moments. Obviously she has a lot of kids but it’s wonderful and I enjoy it. She’s a wonderful person, she has a good heart,” he tells the paps.

The giggly couple also reveals plans to get Suleman even in better shape than she is now, with Frankie the bodybuilder putting her on a special program he devised for her.

“He’s going to teach me, he’s putting me on a program,” she says. “Even though she’s in great shape already,” Frankie chimes in.
