A 62-year-old grandmother and her husband, 25, have revealed they are planning to have their first child together and have already spoken to three surrogates.
Quran McCain and his wife Cheryl McGregor, both of Rome, Georgia, admitted this morning they would also be considering adoption.
Cheryl, a mother of seven from another relationship, has hit back at trolls who say she is too old to look after baby.
Speaking via video line, from Atlanta, she said: ‘They said I guess because of my age I can’t take care of a baby, what? I have more energy than half of those kids taking care of babies now and I don’t see that as a problem.
Cheryl said: “No I can’t have a baby myself but we did the surrogacy thing where we already had three surrogates and right now we’re looking for another one and maybe also adoption.
The couple, who have more than three million followers on TikTok, revealed it was “a battle” with their families who think their relationship is a joke.
Cheryl said: “It’s been a battle with them, us trying to prove to them that it wasn’t a joke. Of my seven children they said he was using me, we weren’t using each other, we couldn’t help our hearts fall in love.
“So it’s been a battle, out of seven of my kids, I really have two but one who really supports us through everything and it’s taken a while to come to this conclusion that they love him.”
The beloved couple will appear on Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA which is available to stream on the BBC iPlayer.
The couple first met in 2012 when they both worked at the Dairy Queen fast food chain, when Quran was just 15 years old.
But romantic feelings only blossomed much later. They lost contact but reconnected in 2020 when the Quran Guardian saw Cheryl working as a cashier at a convenience store.
Sparks instantly flew between the two and they started dating. They married in 2021 after Quran was offered live to 20,000 people.
Shortly after the couple started dating, they started posting videos of themselves on TikTok and they have now become viral sensations on the platform due to their almost four age difference. decades.
Their intimate wedding was streamed live on the app and seen by thousands of their fans.
The pair also created an Only Fans account for their more saucy content.
Cheryl and Quran are getting a lot of hate on social media because of their unconventional relationship – but that doesn’t phase them.
After host Holly Willoughby asks what they say to haters who think their relationship is a scam.
The Quran said: “We’re just going to get on with living our lives because we’re happy, we’re very happy, it’s a healthy happy marriage, we’re looking to have our family and that’s all we have. “
Cheryl added: “Absolutely, it’s us against the world.”
In a previous interview, Quran explained that Cheryl “has a very young mind, soul and heart.”
“I think the biggest misconception is that I use it or wait to be written into the will,” he said.
“We connected on a spiritual level. No matter the situation, we just have a certain vibe that connects every time we’re around each other.
Cheryl added: “It’s different, it’s amazing, he’s very compassionate towards me and I think it’s because he’s a younger man.”
“I couldn’t have that with anyone else, he’s very emotional and that’s something I’ve never dealt with – they were all angry and he’s emotional in a good way because he shows me that he really cares.
“There’s just something between him and me that I never thought we’d be together like this, he’s just an amazing person.
“There’s a different kind of chemistry with him even though he’s younger, we have a lot of chemistry because of the things we’ve been through and it brings us closer.”
As for their sex life, the Quran raved: “It gets better and better every time. It’s pretty normal, it’s not out of the ordinary, but to me it’s amazing.
“She knows what she’s doing, that’s the best! »
It comes after the couple tried to get pregnant on their own, but due to Cheryl’s age, they decided to look into surrogacy or adoption.
“We prefer surrogacy, however, we have seen a lot of people involved in legal complications long after the child was born,” Quran previously told Jam Press.
“We are looking for a nice surrogate mother who is willing to sign a contract to have nothing to do with the child after birth.
“We don’t want people trying to have a baby for us for financial gain, we ourselves aren’t financially inclined.
“With adoption, we’re looking for a biracial baby so the baby knows, ‘I have half black, half white parents,’ so he (or she) feels that we are his or her real parents.
“Both of Cheryl’s daughters have had hysterectomies for the past few years, otherwise they would have been the best option to be as close to a biological child as possible.”
