Taking to Instagram, the 47-year-old blessed fans with a rare snap of her younger brood – Noah, Josiah, Maliyah, Jonah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Makai and Jeremiah – lined up in front of their garage before the school day kicked off.
‘First day of 8th grade. Be proud of yourselves kids for being kind, respectful, and helpful to all your fellow peers, teachers and staff,’ she captioned the adorable upload.
‘You are exceptional role models to the 6th and 7th graders. I love you.’
Nadya, who is also mom to children Ameerah, Calyssa, Elijah, Jonah, Joshua and Aidan, shared a separate note explaining that her older children wanted to remain private.
‘(Side note to critics: their older siblings did not want me to post a picture on their first day,’ she added.
‘(I respect their choice, so should you).’

‘Happy 13th birthday to Nariyah, Isaiah, Maliyah, Jeremiah, Noah, Josiah, Jonah, and Makai,’ she penned at the time.
‘You are all growing into some of the most kind, humble, grateful and loving human beings I have ever known. Each of you possess rare and unique characteristics, and are unlike any other child of your age, particularly in our society today.
‘You are selfless, altruistic, nonmaterialistic, and loving, fearing, followers of God. I have never seen children who love and want to serve others, (particularly those less fortunate), so boldly and confidently like each and every one of you do.
‘You are not followers of this shallow world, but of a God that created and loves you unconditionally. I do not know what I could possibly have done to deserve being blessed so bountifully. I love you.’
