See, now I'm super confused (and high).

There's this

where some crazy Jennanite stole Natalie's story photo off her 2023 IG in which she wished her eldest kid Mariah a Happy 32nd birthday. Natalie uses Comic Sans in her Stories, and I've seen this capped several times in December 2023 and have seen several 32nd birthday wishes around that time in 2023 like this one

so I've no doubt (or so I thought) of its veracity; her birthday is in December 1991. Mariah Ortega will have turned 33 last month. I'm pretty sure someone's Ortega edit on TikTok made me look into that since they had typed that Mariah was 33. Which to me seemed impossible unless Natalie was a teen mom, which she was if this is true...a Dec 1991 delivery would've made Natalie barely 17 when Ed-going-on-19 got her 🤰🏽. I'd registered this fact, since Aliyah also seems to strongly defend teen mothers whenever such a topic comes up in yap/Lives. The following pic's a little weird...his eldest daughter looks old enough to be his partner, but that is true for a lot of us young Latinos/Latinas with baby faces. And this here isn't even a case of a "baby face" for Edward, if this is 2007 then he's 35 and still young

I'm still feeling gaslit bc Aliyah was the cuter kid.

Yet tonight last night on Live, someone asked Aliyah how old her eldest sibling is and she said 31. (Twice, if I was hearing correctly.) She stated that her oldest sibling/sister was 11 when she was born (putting Mariah's birth year in 1993), which doesn't make any damn sense given her mother's Story.

What is going on here. Is it entirely possible that the girl doesn't know how old her oldest sister is? Or are the fans just mistaken?

Printer ran out of ink by the time it got to Markus 💀

This is what, around 2005 (Aliyah and her brother look to be around a yeah old...and if you notice through these pics, she's that kid, the one who's always frowning and tough to get to smile LOL though she's making up for that on her TT). That eldest doesn't look 12 to me. This TikTokker seems to have gotten it correct, from the OG Mom info/IG Story cap
