Nyjul and Tomas Acosta, both 24, told Truly TV that their kids “kept rolling in back to back” since getting together in 2021 – and thankfully their parents help out with the cost of their.

The couple love sharing an insight into their busy home life on their TikTok page, which has left people very curious.
They share five children together, Auberon, Kireigh, twins Silas and Cecilla, and newborn Samuel, while Nyjul has two children, Peytonn and Alyceston from a previous.
The mum, who used to work in , said: “I prayed for this life that I’m living.”
Tomas recently shared what his night with his looks after spending all day working with heavy machinery.
The ‘blue collar’ traffic control worker typically leaves for work around 5.30am, while Nyjul spends her days looking after the kids, doing the school run, and looking after their home.
Sharing his evening, Tomas said: “I just got off work, I went to the store to get some groceries for dinner tonight, my wife has been at home with the kids all day.
“I’m about to go in there and see how she’s doing and try to help her out a little bit.”
Tomas, who loves surprising his wife with treats when he comes home, explained: “For everybody that’s been wondering, I do traffic control and I pretty much just go where the job site needs me”.
He takes off his work gear as soon as he gets in the house, before kissing his wife and greeting the kids.
The couple then decide what they want for dinner.
While Nyjul typically prepares a homecooked meal, on this occasion they ordered a Burger King takeaway as she was expecting and Tomas got called out for a job.
Tomas, who loves a bargain store, explained that it would usually cost them around $60 [£45.55] to feed their whole family a takeaway, but because they saved up coupons they were able to get it for approximately $35 [£25.99].
Affording a big family
One individual questioned in the comments: “How do you guys afford housing and bills with that many kids?”
Nyjul explained her husband works hard, but they also get help from their family: “My husband has a lot of experience with his job, he’s been working traffic control since it’s slow but usually he handles heavy machinery, tractor/forklift etc.”
She added: “Also we make money on social media and we have a village!”
The mum also shared that both their mothers pay for their .
Tomas shared that after enjoying their with the kids on an evening, the parents get their children in their pyjamas, help with homework and get them to decide what they are wearing to school the following day.
The children are called to come and pray, before being put down to bed.
The couple, who love taking their to church, then wind down themselves on an evening, ensuring they prioritise their time together.
Nyjul said: “We don’t have expectations for each other, my husband knows what a husband/dad is supposed to do and some with me being a wife/mother.”
Quality time
In another post they shared: “Quality time is mandatory. Either we stay up late, take a shower together or sit on the porch alone.
“We make time for us.”
They added: “We sit down together and make decisions together. We don’t take outside advice. Our marriage is our marriage.”
The pair also have a strict rule when it comes to their bedroom – no visitors are allowed to go in it, only them and their kids can step foot in the room.
They explained: “That’s where we make love and that’s a sacred place for us.
“Sex is sacred and we treat it so. For a moment our two bodies are one being purely connected.
“Our babies are made with genuine love.”
People have applauded the couple for the way their run their household.
One individual commented: “I’m going to be honest, my jaw dropped in the beginning but the house?
“Clean, everyone’s mood, happy, those babies, hair done, clothes clean and hubby taking care of his family after work, mam looks relaxed.”
