A love story defying convention took a devastating turn. A couple on a joyous journey to parenthood through surrogacy shared their elation with the world, only to face a heartbreaking betrayal that shattered their dreams.
In a heartwarming yet controversial love story, 63-year-old Cheryl McGregor and her 26-year-old husband, Quran McCain, have captured the internet’s attention with their unique relationship and recent journey towards parenthood.
The couple, who have faced significant stigma due to their 37-year age gap, shared their joy and excitement about expecting their first child through surrogacy.
However, their journey took a heartbreaking turn, leaving them and their followers devastated.
Cheryl and Quran’s relationship has been a topic of fascination and controversy since they first went public. They met when Quran was just 15 years old, though their relationship was strictly platonic at that time.
Eight years later, they reconnected at a petrol station, sparking a romance that led to their marriage.
Despite facing criticism and trolling online due to their age gap, the couple has remained steadfast in their love, showcasing their life together on social media platforms.

“We have a 37-year age gap, I’m 63 and he’s 26 okay and people don’t really, know what to think about us but we’re real we’re happy we’re living life,” Cheryl said.
Their unconventional relationship has been met with both support and harsh judgment. Quran, who is pansexual, has frequently addressed the stigma they face.
He explained what annoys him the most is when people say Cheryl “groomed” him. He stated:
Meanwhile, Cheryl, a mother of seven children all older than Quran, also faced rejection from most of her children, with only one daughter accepting the relationship.
However, she stated that she doesn’t care if the rest of her children don’t approve of her relationship with Quran.
While talking about their relationship, the couple revealed they were happy with their intimate life. Quran confessed that Cheryl was the first woman he had ever gotten intimate with, but she had no idea about it then.
The couple revealed they get intimate frequently, but Cheryl takes pills to prevent cramping. However, that doesn’t affect their love for each other.
While speaking about her bond with her much younger husband, Cheryl revealed her thoughts regarding cheating. She said:
In one such post, Cheryl wrote a heartwarming message for her husband on their second wedding anniversary.
“Thank God he knew what he was doing when he put you in my life to make it complete,” she stated. “So, here we are three years as a couple and two years happy in a loving and caring marriage.”
In another post, Cheryl and Quran announced that they were expecting their first child via surrogacy, unaware of how their lives would soon take an unexpected turn.

Due to Cheryl’s age, they opted for a surrogate to carry the baby, using Quran’s sperm but not Cheryl’s eggs.
The couple shared their excitement and anticipation through numerous updates on Instagram, delighting in the prospect of becoming parents.
In a video dated June 12, 2024, Cheryl joyfully displayed an ultrasound photo, stating, “We got pictures of our baby and that is starting to develop now. So, it looks like a baby now! And it is so adorable.”

Their excitement grew as they approached the gender reveal.
