Cheryl McGregor and Quran McCain went viral on TikTok for defending a love with a 37-year age gap. At the time, she was 63 years old, had 7 children and 17 grandchildren; he was 26. Even so, they insisted that the criticism did not matter to them. 🫣
The controversy exploded when they announced that they would become parents through surrogacy. Many questioned the age difference and even said that the baby would call her “grandma” instead of “mom”, something Cheryl denied while defending her role as a mother.
But months later, everything fell apart. In September 2024, the couple confirmed that the process was definitively canceled after noticing irregularities in the conception dates. They paid for a DNA test, and the result confirmed that Quran was not the biological father: the baby belonged to the surrogate’s boyfriend.
Since then, they have not announced any new attempts at adoption or surrogacy. What they presented as a love story against all odds ended up turning into another controversial chapter in a relationship that the internet never stopped watching with discomfort. 👀
