A couple who have faced a lot of criticism online for their age gap have announced the happy news that they are expecting their first child.

Cheryl McCain is 63-years-old and has 18 grandchildren, but it’s her relationship with husband Quran McCain, 26, that has thrust her into the social media spotlight.

The pair first met when Quran was only 15-years-old when they both worked at a Dairy Queen. While they have said there were no romantic feelings or interactions then, they eventually hit it off when they met again at a gas station by chance.

A couple who have faced a lot of criticism online for their age gap have announced the happy news that they are expecting their first child.

Cheryl McCain is 63-years-old and has 18 grandchildren, but it’s her relationship with husband Quran McCain, 26, that has thrust her into the social media spotlight.

Then 23-years-old, after weeks of spending time together, Quran confessed his feelings and they began a relationship in April 2021, tying the knot in September before creating joint social media accounts to document their lives together.

Cheryl said: “I have seven kids but I only see one of them as the others do not support our relationship. It hurts me, it hurts me a lot.

They were my whole life and all of a sudden I wanted to be married to someone I had fallen in love with and they didn’t support that. I have 18 grandchildren and I only see three of them.”

Now, the couple have announced that they had found a surrogate and are adding a baby of their own to their family.

Cheryl shared a TikTok video on her Instagram page, which shows her holding up images of the sonogram.

She also addresses some of her critics with a video caption: ‘You’re too old to be starting a family’ as she mimed: ‘I don’t give a f**k, I got my mind made up’.

The couple have also spoken out at how happy they are to be welcoming a child into their marriage.

Cheryl said: “It was an amazing feeling to find out we were going to have a baby. We get to start our own family. I am the happiest now than I have ever been before. It will make our family so much happier as we will love the baby unconditionally.”

Quran added: “I cried with tears of joy when I found out. This will be my very first child. I have never felt love like this apart from the time I got married to Cheryl.
