Couple with 37-year age gap announces they are planning to have first child through surrogacy

A 61-year-old grandmother and her new husband, 24, have announced that they're planning to have their first child together through surrogacy - despite their 37-year age gap.

Quran McCain and his wife, mother-of-seven Cheryl McGregor, from Rome, Georgia, first met in 2012 while they were both worked in the fast food chain Dairy Queen, when he was just 15 years old.

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 last year, and now, they are ready to expand their family.

Cheryl has seven children and 17 grandchildren already, but the couple said they 'feel they deserve children of their own.'

'We got married in September 2021, and it’s been a few months since we are ready to start a family,' said Quran.

'Cheryl is 61 and has seven children and 17 grandchildren already but we feel we deserve children of our own.'

The pair tried to get pregnant on their own but due to Cheryl's age, they decided to turn to surrogacy or adoption.

'We prefer surrogacy, however, we have seen a lot of people embroiled in legal complications far after the child is born,' Quran continued.

'We are looking for a nice surrogate who is willing to sign a contract to have nothing to do with the child after its born.

'We don't want people trying to have a baby for us for financial gain, we are not that financially inclined ourselves.

'With adoption, we are looking for a biracial baby so the baby would know, "I have half black and half white parents," so he [or she] would feel that we are his true parents.

'Both of Cheryl’s daughters had hysterectomies in the last few years otherwise they would have been the best option for being as close to a biological child as possible.'

Since Cheryl is much older than Quran, they know he may have to raise their child alone somewhere down the line and they are prepared for that

'We understand that I may not be there for as long as Quran is but I have faith in him,' Cheryl said. 'If I am not here he can do it. He's gonna be a great father, he’s a responsible adult'

Since Cheryl is much older than Quran, they know he may have to raise their child alone somewhere down the line and are prepared for that.

'We understand that I may not be there for as long as Quran is but I have faith in him,' Cheryl explained.

'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.'

Cheryl and Quran claim that their sex life is fantastic and they have great chemistry - despite him being younger than one of her own kids and her being only six years younger than his grandmother.

Although Cheryl's family was 'hesitant at first,' she said five out of her seven children have come to support the idea of she and Quran welcoming a child together

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.

Their intimate wedding was actually live-streamed on the app and viewed by thousands of their fans.

The pair also set up an Only Fans account for their saucier content.

Cheryl and Quran get a lot of hate on social media due to their unconventional relationship - but that doesn't phase them.

'People on social media have a lot of hate for us, they say I’m dating my grandmother,' Quran said.

'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.'

Unstoppable: Cheryl and Quran get a lot of hate on social media due to their unconventional relationship - but that doesn't phase them

'We are no different from any other couple, love is love,' Quran said. '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'

In a previous interview, Quran explained that Cheryl 'has a very young spirit, soul and heart.'

'I think the biggest misconception is that I'm using her or waiting to be put in the will,' he said.

'We connected on a spiritual level. No matter the situation we just have a certain vibe that connects anytime we are around each other.'

Cheryl added: 'It's different, it's amazing, he's very compassionate to me and I think it's because he's a younger man.

'I couldn't have that with anybody else, he's very emotional and that's something I've never dealt with - they were all angry and he's emotional in a good way because he shows me he really cares.

'There's just something between him and I that I never thought we would be together like this, he's just an amazing person.

Quran said that Cheryl 'has a very young spirit, soul and heart' and that no matter the situation, they have 'a certain vibe that connects anytime they are around each other'

Cheryl said: 'Don't look for love because it will find you, because I wasn't looking for love and it found me and it's amazing'

'There's a different type of chemistry with him even though he's younger, we have a lot of chemistry because of the things we've been through and it pulls us closer together.'

As for their sex life, Quran gushed: 'It gets better and better every time. It's pretty normal, it's not out of the ordinary, but to me it's amazing.

'She knows what she's doing - that's the best part!'

Unfortunately, Quran said none of Cheryl's family were 'accepting' of their relationship at first.

'Everyone thought we were joking or thought it was all games,' he admitted. 'Some of her seven kids turned on her due to her dating a younger black man.

'She was very hurt. It hurt her because she raised them to not be like that.'

However, that didn't tear them apart. Cheryl concluded: 'Don't look for love because it will find you, because I wasn't looking for love and it found me and it's amazing.'
