Suleman said paying the rent was one of her priorities, but admitted "food is my first priority" for her brood.

She said, "It takes a couple of months or a few months to be really in default through the bank so it takes time and in those few months I'll find a way to secure money to pay off the mortgage."

As Breaking Celebrity News exclusively revealed, Octo-Mom is almost certain to go on welfare.

Octo-Mom received a flurry of media attention in 2009, however, fame was proved fleeting for the mother of 14 children.

She has not been able to translate her fame into a fortune and faces high living costs.

Octo-Mom said she was hoping to avoid going on public assistance in California.

"I will not," she insisted. "I'm going to do everything I possibly can not to go on welfare. I believe in my mind whole heartedly there's always a way."
