In an incredible turn of events, Melbourne couple Andrew and Marina Filak, who were childless just 14 months ago, now find themselves parenting four children, all under the age of one. The whirlwind began when Marina unexpectedly fell pregnant while on the contraceptive pill, shortly after welcoming their first child, Sasha. The surprise escalated even further with the arrival of triplets—Anton, Alexander, and Attila—who were born ten weeks premature and currently remain under hospital care, with Attila receiving special attention from neonatal experts.
The couple has been navigating the challenges of parenthood while managing their hectic schedules. Andrew described their day-to-day life as a “production line of babies”, coordinating needs with military precision to ensure each child is cared for back-to-back. He noted the amusing fact that their supply of nappies only lasts for two days due to the high demand of their growing family.
Their journey of parenting has been closely followed by A Current Affair, showing the highs and lows of their rapidly expanding family dynamics. As they adapt to their new life, Andrew and Marina embrace the chaos that comes with their new roles as parents of four.
