The previous record for having most babies was claimed by Halima Cisse, who gave birth to nine kids — nonuplets — in Malia last month. “Guinness World Records is aware of the news that Gosiame Thamara Sithole has given birth to decuplets, and we send our congratulations and best wishes to the family,” a spokesperson for the records listing told.
Sithole had shown off her huge, pregnant belly last month during a photoshoot with her husband when they still thought they were expecting octuplets.
