Cheryl McCain and her husband Quran McCain are thrilled to reveal they’re about to welcome their first child together.

Despite their notable age difference, which has often sparked online debate,

their love story began when Quran was 15 and Cheryl was working at Dairy Queen.

They rekindled their romance years later at a gas station, began dating in April 2021, tied the knot in September, and now excitedly document their journey on social media.

Their relationship has faced criticism, particularly from Cheryl’s family. She has seven children, but only one supports her relationship with Quran, and out of her 18 grandchildren, she only sees three. Despite these family tensions, Cheryl and Quran are now looking forward to growing their family.

Cheryl and Quran recently revealed they are expecting a baby via a surrogate. Cheryl posted the news on TikTok with sonogram images and a defiant message to critics: “You’re too old to be starting a family.” She added, “I made up my mind.” The announcement received mixed reactions, with both congratulations and criticism.

Quran shared his excitement, saying, “I was moved to tears of joy when I heard the news. This will be my first child, and the only other time I’ve felt this deep a love was when I married Cheryl.” He also mentioned that it doesn’t matter if their baby is a girl or a boy, and he believes Cheryl will be a wonderful mother.

The 37-year age difference between the couple has sparked numerous questions about their future. How their child’s arrival will influence their family dynamics remains to be seen.
