OutDaughtered is an American reality series on TLC starring Adam and Danielle Busby, parents of the only American all-girl quintuplets on record. The series debuted on May 10, 2016[1] and premiered its tenth season on May 7, 2024.[2]
The Busby family consists of Adam and Danielle Busby, who have been married since 2006; eldest daughter Blayke Louise; and quintuplets Ava Lane, Olivia Marie, Hazel Grace, Riley Paige and Parker Kate.
Adam and Danielle had struggled with infertility, ultimately becoming pregnant both times by intrauterine insemination.[3]
Danielle delivered the quintuplets via Caesarean section 28 weeks into the pregnancy.[4] Shortly after birth, heart murmurs were detected in all five girls; this was treated with medication.[5] The quints spent the first eight to twelve weeks of their lives in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Woman's Hospital of Texas,[6] before being released to go home between June and July 2015.
Hazel's eye condition, congenital nystagmus, has been chronicled through the series.[7] The condition causes Hazel to have uncontrolled eye movements and hold her head at unusual angles to compensate for her lack of clear vision.[8] In 2016, Hazel underwent eye surgery in an attempt to improve her condition.[9] [10] In 2017, Hazel was diagnosed as having an astigmatism in her left eye, which may ultimately be responsible for it occasionally turning in as a result of being underdeveloped. She was prescribed glasses to help with her left eye farsightedness with the hope that her vision will improve as her eye develops.[11]
Adam has opened up about his struggle with postpartum depression.[12]
