In a heartbreaking Instagram update, the mother of 22 said she is still hoping for Galip's safe return and that it has been difficult to maintain their Instagram page since her husband's arrest. The post's caption reads, "Let’s keep this video here🤍 Many of you have noticed with the events happening in our family, it’s been harder for me to keep the page. It's hard to talk about some household things or joys when all thoughts are far away and busy just waiting for my husband to come home to us❤️ I'm sure that day will come soon, but in the meantime, I just want to say thank you so much for all your support and kind words, this is very important🙏🏻 I will be glad to answer all your questions Questions about babies in the comments."
"The feeling of loneliness does not leave me even with so many loved ones around. I'm used to my husband always at home, always by my side," she wrote in an emotional post on Instagram on June 9 after Georgia's Finance Ministry spokeswoman Nato Natroshvili confirmed Galip's arrest. She also wrote, "I can't stand silence, I can not stand his absence, I can not sleep and wake up alone, I can not see his empty workplace... can't see his smile, can't hear his voice, can't feel his embrace. This is unbearable."
Following Galip's arrest, Kristina admitted that she struggled to explain what had happened to her oldest daughter Vika. Their youngest child, Judy, who is their 21st child together, is only three months old while Mustafa, their first child, was born on March 10, 2020.
"I can tell you one thing - my days are never boring. Each day is different, from planning staff schedules to shopping for my family," Kristina told Fabulous in happier times. Kristina spends £4,000 (approx $4015) per week on baby necessities like 53 packs of baby formula and 20 large bags of diapers and posts updates about her busy life to her 224,000-follower Instagram account. Her photos document hectic mealtimes, the mother interacting with the kids, and the babies being taken for walks in a group of double strollers. She described the family's routine in a recent Instagram Q&A, revealing that during the week, the kids eat separately from their parents because father Galip gets home late from work, according to Fabulous.
The mother of 22 celebrated one of her children's birthdays, Harper,16 months, and posted on Instagram with a caption, "Happy Birthday Harper 🧡 this is the first time we’ve celebrated your birthday together - without daddy.. I dream of a holiday when our whole big family will sit at one table, I wish both dad and our Alenushka were home soon. The preparation was a little more unusual... I became more distracted, so we prepared together with nannies and teachers and our psychologist all together."
Kristina was asked by a fan on social media if she had enough time for all of her children to "spend quality time" with them. She responded, "Many times I have been asked how I have enough for each child, whether I devote time alone to each. Yes. We have a special bond with every child. I wish every parent to be able to spend all their time with their children because this is the most important thing in life."
