A couple whose significant age difference has often been a topic of online scrutiny joyfully announced they are expecting their first child. Cheryl McCain, 63, and her husband Quran McCain, 26, have captured widespread attention due to their unconventional relationship. They first met when Quran was just 15 and both worked at a Dairy Queen, but their romantic journey began years later after reconnecting at a gas station when Quran was 23. They started dating in April 2021 and married that September, later sharing their story on joint social media accounts.

Despite their happiness, Cheryl’s children have strongly disapproved of the marriage. “I have seven kids, but only one supports us. It hurts me a lot,” Cheryl lamented, revealing that out of her 18 grandchildren, she only sees three. Despite these challenges, they are now preparing to expand their family.

In a recent development, Cheryl and Quran announced they have found a surrogate and are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby. Cheryl shared the news on TikTok with sonogram images, defiantly addressing critics with a caption: “You’re too old to be starting a family.” She added, “I made up my mind.” The announcement received both congratulations and criticism.

Quran expressed his joy, saying, “I cried tears of joy when I found out. This will be my first child, and I have never felt a love like this before, except for when I married Cheryl.

Whether it’s a girl or boy, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to be a parent, and we’re starting our life together. Blood doesn’t make family; Cheryl will be the best mom.”

The announcement, with its 37-year age gap between Cheryl and Quran, has sparked a mix of reactions, questioning its feasibility. “How is that even possible?” one comment read. Only time will tell if the birth of their child will help mend fences within their family.
