Oksana Kobeletskaya, a resident of Odessa, shared her life with her husband, Sergey Semenov, until the year 2016. Together, they led a contented life, raising their cherished daughter, Alice. However, dreams of expanding their family lingered, as Oksana and Sergey longed for a baby boy to be a brother to their beloved girl. When Oksana became pregnant, Sergey was overjoyed with the prospect of fulfilling this dream.

Their world was turned upside down when they learned they were expecting not one, but five children. The initial shock gave way to acceptance as the doctor confirmed the extraordinary news. The odds of having quintuplets are a staggering 1 in 85 million. In the midst of this revelation, Sergey initially made the difficult decision to leave his wife. However, he eventually returned, resolute in his determination to stand by Oksana’s side and provide unwavering support.

Sergey remained true to his word throughout the pregnancy, offering his unwavering assistance. With the arrival of the quintuplets, the family reached out to their municipality for help, and they were allocated a spacious six-room apartment to accommodate their growing family. The days became a blur of endless tasks and sleepless nights, a daunting challenge for any parent. Parenting one child can be demanding, let alone five newborns. There were moments when Oksana had barely a minute to herself, as caring for and feeding five infants demanded constant attention and care. Nevertheless, Sergey held steadfast, offering his relentless support to Oksana.

His endurance, however, lasted for only six months. Overwhelmed and exhausted, he expressed the need for a break from family life. Oksana, who had been managing the demanding care of the quintuplets, was often sleep-deprived and tirelessly attended to her children’s needs. Although she had every reason to complain, she soldiered on, with no time for herself. When the quintuplets turned six months old, Sergey made the difficult decision to leave the family once again. This time, his departure was permanent.
