In a tale that seems almost too extraordinary to be true, a 63-year-old woman has announced that she is expecting a baby with her 26-year-old husband.

This story of love and modern family-making is turning heads and challenging societal norms about age and parenting.

Cheryl, the 63-year-old expectant mother, and her husband, Quran McCain, have a significant age difference of 37 years.

Yet, their commitment to each other and their desire to start a family has led them down an unconventional path that has captured the attention of many.

The couple's journey to parenthood has been anything but traditional. After deciding to expand their family, Cheryl and Quran turned to surrogacy to make their dream a reality.

The news of their surrogate's pregnancy was shared in an emotional video online, where Cheryl held up a positive pregnancy test, and Quran proudly displayed ultrasound images of their developing baby.

‘We’re so excited, y’all,’ Cheryl said.

‘I’m so happy. I’m gonna be a father! We got a family finally,’ Quran said.

‘It’s finally happening—we’re starting our family!’

The video quickly went viral, with viewers expressing a mix of shock, disbelief, and congratulations.

'How is this possible?' one person commented.

‘I cannot believe it,’ another added.

‘No way!’ a third commented.

‘I don’t know what to say, except I hope things work out,’ someone else added.

Others were more supportive, sharing excitement and encouragement for the couple's growing family.

‘Justin and Hailey Bieber, and now y’all!?’ one exclaimed.

‘I’m so happy, can’t wait to see your journey!’

‘Congratulations!’ another added.

‘So happy for y’all, and don’t listen to the haters, they are just jealous.’

Cheryl and Quran's love story began in 2012 when they worked together at a Dairy Queen in Rome, Georgia.

Although they lost touch for some time, fate brought them back together in November 2020 when Quran encountered Cheryl as a cashier at a convenience store.

Their relationship blossomed from there, and they soon became a viral sensation on social media, sharing their unique love story with the world.

So she'll be 81 when the kids 18, not fair on the child.

How sad for a child to be brought into the world, by surrogacy, to a mother who probably won’t have the energy to cope with the demands of a baby, toddler, young child, pre teen, teenager, if she is even alive to see the child get to be a teenager. Presumably the father will be working to support the family, or will they be living off the taxpayers? Hopefully the baby won’t just be a novelty to gain another ten minutes of fame, and then end up another neglected, uncared for child. Some people really do need a reality check.

I feel sorry for the baby. Just imagine going to a school event with your "mother" & explaining to your mates that she is not your grandmother as would be expected with her age. How embarrassing!!

I was just saying to myself, there is more to this than meets the eyes, and it doesn't involve passionate lust. Have to agree, more of a chance to achieve citizenship if a child was born here. I'm sure she is a lovely lady, but I have to wonder about the amount of attention this is getting. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

I was bitterly disappointed when I miscarried my last pregnancy at 43. By the time I turned 53, I was relieved, as I realised just how much harder it would have been to keep up with a child in my 50s than when I had my other children in my 20s/30s. There's a reason why fertility declines as we age...

I hope for the child's sake, the union is successful.

The Child will probably not have the Mother for many Years to come, Wonder if the Egg Donor will be involved
