A 26-YEAR-OLD man has opened up about how he went from dating a man to a gran-of-18 37 years his senior.
Quran Mccain, now 26, met his wife Cheryl, 63, when he was just 15 years old.
The pair had no romantic connection at the time but eight years later they bumped into one another at a petrol station have been in love ever since.
Despite the pair being trolled online for their age gap relationship, the couple reveal their love is real and even plan to have a kid together.
I give him what he wants, he’s happy and I don’t have any doubt that he’ll ever cheat on me
Cheryl
Speaking on the podcast, Unmedicated and Educated, the pair opened up about the stigma they faced and their sex life.
Cheryl said: 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.”
Despite being happy, Cheryl, who has seven children all older than her hubby, revealed her kids don’t accept the relationship.
“It’s not good because, they’re not into us, like I have one, daughter that approves of me and him but, the rest of them don’t and I don’t care,” she explained.
Quran, who is pansexual, revealed he’s sick of the hate they got online and claims that Cheryl groomed him.
He explained: “One big thing that p***es me off, is to try to say, she groomed me.
“For one, I told you about my past, I used to date men so how could, she groom me when I was in a relationship with other people. She was married at the time.”
He added that his mum was younger than Cheryl and if she thought for an instance there was any grooming she wouldn’t have it.
The pair say the double standards are crazy as when woman date older men no one bats an eye.
Quran also revealed that Cheryl was the first person he had sexual intercourse with – claiming he was virgin at the time but Cheryl didn’t know that.
The pair added that they have a happy sex life, despite the age gap, and have no fears of cheating.
“I give him what he wants, he’s happy and I don’t have any doubt that he’ll ever cheat on me I swear I do not,” said Cheryl.
How are Cheryl and Quran able to have a baby?
As Cheryl is too old to carry a child herself, the couple are having their baby via a surrogate.
This means that another woman will carry and give birth to the baby for them.
The baby that the surrogate will carry will use Quran’s sperm, but will not use Cheryl’s eggs.
This means that the baby will not be biologically Cheryl’s.
Speaking of ever having an open relationship, Quran added: “That’s crazy.”
The pair said they still have sex three or five times a week, but need some additional help to do it.
“I keep up with him,” Cheryl hit back at online haters who claim the pair can’t have intercourse.
“I take the potassium so I don’t get cramps while I’m doing it.”
The pair have now been married for three years, and earlier this month the couple shared the news that they would be expecting their first child together.
As Cheryl, 63, is too old to carry, the pair are having the child by surrogacy.
The baby that the surrogate will carry will use Quran’s sperm, but will not use Cheryl’s eggs.
