Cheryl McGregor, from Rome, Georgia, is already a mother-of-seven and grandmother-of-17.
But since tying the knot with 26-year-old husband Quran McCain the unlikely couple have become TikTok sensations after sharing updates about their journey into parenthood together.
The lovebirds, who wed in 2021, recently revealed they will soon be welcoming their first child together via surrogacy – since Cheryl’s age meant she was unable to carry a baby.
They have since taken to social media once again to excitedly share a sonogram with their 4.7 million followers as the pair dished the details on the latest addition to the family.
Giving the latest update about their first child together, Quran began: ‘We’re back with another update and…’
Cheryl interrupted: ‘We got pictures of our baby and that is starting to develop now. It looks like a baby now and it is so adorable.’
The pair, who sat side-by-side on a park bench, could not control their smiles as Quran continued: ‘The best part is our baby is forming. It’s healthy…
‘We find out the gender next week and it’s pretty amazing. I’m ready, like y’all just don’t know.’
Remarking on reaching the second trimester, the father-to-be explained: ‘We made it past that big milestone of risk and all that. Y’all will be seeing our surrogate soon.’
The couple uploaded the clip alongside a caption that read: ‘Our baby is healthy and were going into the second trimester.’
It was soon flooded with messages of support as one viewer wrote: ‘CONGRATULATIONS! I know you’re gonna be a great mom and dad.’
Another commented: ‘You guys are gonna be the best mom and dad ever. I literally wish you guys were my parents.’
Someone else shared: ‘I’m so happy for you guys! I know people may hate, but as long as you two are happy, that’s all that matters! Congratulations!’
And another added: ‘Congratulations. [Age] doesn’t matter, regardless of what people say about you guys. The fact is that you both keep it real, and you don’t care what people say. You guys will be awesome parents.’
The pair first met in 2012 – when Quran was just 15 years old – while they were working at the fast food chain Dairy Queen.
But romantic feelings didn’t blossom until much later.
They lost contact but reconnected in 2020 when caretaker Quran saw Cheryl working as a cashier at a convenience store.
Sparks instantly flew between the pair and they started dating. They got married in 2021 after Quran proposed on a live stream to 20,000 people.
Soon after the couple started dating, they began posting videos of themselves on TikTok and they have now become viral sensations on the platform because of their nearly four-decade age difference.
The pair also set up an Only Fans account for their saucier content.
Cheryl already has seven children and 17 grandchildren already but the couple said they ‘feel they deserve children of their own.’
Addressing their age gap, she previously shared: ‘We understand that I may not be there for as long as Quran is, but I have faith in him.
‘If I am not here, he can do it. He’s gonna be a great father – he’s a responsible adult. I had every bit of faith that he could raise our child, and do it very well.
‘Our family is also very supportive of our decision to have children. At first they were hesitant for the same reasons.
‘However, now five of my children have come to accept the idea, and my mother-in-law and I make videos together.’
The couple have regularly come under fire from trolls online due to their unconventional relationship – but that doesn’t phase them.
Quran said: ‘People on social media have a lot of hate for us. They say I’m dating my grandmother.
‘I am not. She is younger than my grandmother. We are no different from any other couple – love is love.
‘We get a lot of hate, but it doesn’t phase us. At the end of the day, we still got each other, and that’s all that matters.
‘No matter what they say or do, it can’t hurt us. We know the stuff that they say isn’t true, and they believe it. We feel sorry for them.
‘We’re happy and no matter what they say, we’re not going to deflect on that.’
