Grandma, 61, married to 24-year-old details baby plans

There’s 37 years between them but these newlyweds say they’re planning to have a baby, with the 61-year-old gran saying: “I want his child.”

Couple shock with 37-year age gap

A grandma of 17 who is married to a 24-year-old has revealed the pair are ready to have a baby – despite the difficulties they will face due to her age.

Cheryl, 61, and Quran McCain from Georgia have hit headlines numerous times during their almost two-year relationship thanks to their massive 37-year age gap.

The couple have over 2.2 million followers on their @kingqurannewpage TikTok page, and despite facing harsh criticism, they insist their love is genuine.

Quran proposed to Cheryl using a ring that was crowdfunded by his online fans last year, and they tied the knot in September.

They had a riverside ceremony in Tennessee, and the event was livestreamed to over 20,000 people.

Now they say they are ready to take the next step and have a baby together – either by adoption or by using a surrogate – and have even been pram shopping.

“He’s always wanted children and I want to be the mother to his child,” she told the Mirror.

“Of course, because of my age we’ll have to get a surrogate or adopt which we’re looking into.”

Cheryl already has seven children ranging from ages 41 to 29 who have said they will also help raise the baby.

She also has 17 grandchildren, ranging from the age of 2 to 17, and has said, “The more the merrier.”

Cheryl said: “People say I’m selfish and too old to be a mum now, but I don’t worry about not being here to look after the child,” according to a report by The Sun.

Quran recently was forced to hit back at trolls who speculated the pair had split.

“Together forever,” he captioned a video shared on Monday.

“To death do us part. We ain’t going nowhere.”

The unlikely couple first met when they worked at a fast food restaurant together in 2012. They lost contact for a while but reconnected in late 2020 when Quran saw Cheryl working as a cashier at a convenience store.

They began dating immediately after and Quran proposed to her in July 2021.

In September they eloped with only two friends at the ceremony, but plan to renew their vows surrounded by all their friends and family this year.

Both Quran and Cheryl describe their sex life as “amazing” and they even have an OnlyFans account for their raunchier videos.

Although only three of Cheryl’s seven children support their mum’s new relationship, Quran’s family approve of the unconventional union – but the pair have faced some nasty comments from people online.
