Age gaps in relationships have always sparked interest, especially when the woman is significantly older than the man. Cheryl and her husband Quran are a prime example of this dynamic, with Cheryl being 63 and Quran just 26.
Despite their 37-year age difference, Cheryl and Quran have faced and overcome a lot of criticism. Today, they proudly share that they are expecting a baby.
Cheryl McCain, at 63, is already a grandmother to 18 grandchildren. Her marriage to 26-year-old Quran McCain has thrust them into the social media spotlight. Their love story began in an unlikely place: Dairy Queen, where they met when Quran was just 15. Though their initial interaction was brief and devoid of romantic feelings, fate had more in store for them. They reconnected years later at a gas station, and Quran, then 23, confessed his feelings for Cheryl. Their romance blossomed in April 2021, culminating in their marriage that September.
The couple decided to share their life journey through joint social media accounts, quickly gaining both supporters and critics. Cheryl admits that her seven children have struggled with her relationship, with only one remaining supportive. “It hurts me a lot,” she shared. “They were my whole life, and suddenly, they couldn’t support my happiness.”
Despite family tensions, Cheryl and Quran are now excitedly preparing to welcome their own child via surrogate. Cheryl recently shared a TikTok video, proudly displaying sonogram images.

Addressing their critics head-on, Cheryl expressed her joy about becoming a mother again: “Finding out we were going to have a baby was amazing. We get to start our own family, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. This baby will bring us so much joy, and we will love them unconditionally.”
Quran echoed her sentiments, saying he was moved to tears by the news. As this will be his first child, he emphasized that he had never experienced such love before, apart from marrying Cheryl. “Whether it’s a girl or a boy doesn’t matter. We’re starting our life together. Blood doesn’t make a family; love does, and Cheryl will be the best mom.”
The couple’s announcement has sparked a mix of reactions online, with some people criticizing them and others offering congratulations. Their story is a testament to the idea that love transcends age and societal expectations. As they embark on this new chapter, it will be interesting to see how their journey unfolds.
