Couple with 37 year age gap have revealed the gender of their first baby together

A couple with a 37-year age gap have revealed the gender of their first baby together.

Gran-of-18 Cheryl, 64, and her husband, Quran McCain, 26, met at a gas station in November 2020, when he was 23 and the pair hit it off.

Quran proposed to Cheryl on July 31, 2021, and the pair tied the knot in a small ceremony surrounded by two friends in September 2021.

The happy coupe found out they were expecting their first baby together via surrogate in April 2024.

On July 7, 2024, Cheryl and Quran celebrated their gender reveal with their closest friends and family - finding out that they are expecting a girl.

Cheryl, a social media influencer, from Rome, Georgia, US, said: "I will now have four daughters - I am so excited, I am amazed.

"I am loving it, I can't wait.

"I feel like I am back in my 20s waiting to have my first child.

"I don't have any regrets and I can't until she gets here."

In November 2020, Cheryl and Quran met at a gas station whilst he was 23 - and started talking about Cheryl's TikTok.

Quran complimented her TikTok and asked why she had been crying.

Cheryl said: "I explained about my TikTok video and showed him when he asked to see it – and he was very complimentary."

Cheryl and Quran would meet up twice a week to record content together and Quran told Cheryl how he was catching feelings.

Cheryl revealed how she was feeling the same and the pair started an intimate relationship in April 2021.

The pair said how the age gap wasn't a problem between them but Cheryl's children weren't impressed.

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."

Quran proposed to Cheryl on July 31, 2021, and the pair tied the knot in a small ceremony surrounded by two friends in September 2021.

Cheryl said: "We didn't invite anyone to the wedding as nobody was there for us.

"It was me, him and our two friends.

"We left everyone out and we were happy."

Quran said: "It made the day very special for us.

"We get a lot of negative comments and we don't care about them.

"We didn't make it this far caring about what people think about us.

"To keep ourselves happy we stay off the internet - we don't need that negativity."

In August 2022, the newlyweds started hunting for a surrogate.

Unfortunately, three surrogates were unsuccessful and the couple were starting to lose hope.

Quran said: "We went through a lot of emotional stress.

"It messed with our sexual love life, I had to save my sperm for the surrogate and we started missing each other's needs.

"We have started working on that now.

"As soon as we stopped the surrogacy journey we reconnected romantically."
