The man has 13 other children, wasn't expecting twins

Abdullah Sevinc, a man living in the city of Van in Turkey, is the proud father of a total of 15 boys and girls, some with his first wife and some with his second. 

The man, pictured together with his children in the photos included in the gallery below, had his youngest bundles of joy at the esteemed age of 85.

Much to his surprise, his wife delivered not just one child but twins. “By God's will, I did not expect twins,” the 85-year-old father confessed in an interview.

The man is now married to 46-year-old Hanifa Abdullah Mihrinaz. The two tied the knot nearly a decade ago, following the death of Abdullah Sevinc's first wife, and have since had 5 children together, the twins included.

The man's first wife, who died about 15 years back, left him with 10 boys and girls. With 15 offspring to worry about, Abdullah Sevinc has at long last come to the realization that perhaps it might be a good idea not to have any more children.

“After this I will not consider another child. 15 is enough for me,” he said in a statement, as cited by Mirror. After all, there's only so many diapers a man can stand to change or watch being changed.

Becoming a father at 85 made the man feel ashamed

Most guys his age have other preoccupations than making babies, and 85-year-old Abdullah Sevinc is the first to admit that his late-life fatherhood is somewhat of an oddity.

Even so, he's not going to make excuses for himself. Sure, it's not common for men his age to become fathers - especially not fathers to twins - but, then again, he's just a married guy who happens to love his wife.

As he put it, “I am old but I have my health. I'm a little ashamed, but there's nothing I can do.”
