People claim that physical characteristics shouldn’t determine love, but what about age? Large age gaps between couples frequently force them to defend their relationships in front of loved ones.
Cheryl McCain, 62, and Quran McCain, 25, are one couple that overcame this obstacle. Although there is a 37-year age gap between these two, their love for one another is unaffected.
When Quran and Cheryl first met, he was working with one of Cheryl’s relatives, and he was immediately interested in learning more about her. They connected via a shared love of TikTok, and they soon started dating. Thousands of people are now following them on the app, and videos of the couple dancing and cuddling have become very popular.
For the couple, getting so much attention has occasionally been challenging. Despite being quite open about having an eating disorder, Cheryl often receives derogatory remarks about how she looks. The Qur’an predicted that she will hear comments like “zombie” or “dating her grandmother.” The pair continues to be together despite all the bad things since they are happy with one another.
Only a few of Cheryl’s seven children, who are all older than Quran, are still in committed relationships, according to her. Quran’s family, meanwhile, has been quite welcoming of Cheryl and appreciates that they are a couple.
They frequently have to defend their union, but for Cheryl and Quran, their love is stronger than all the animosity. Continue reading to learn more about this married couple with a 37-year age gap.
The hardest part of making their relationship public has been the criticism about Cheryl’s appearance. She admitted that it harms her self-esteem when people make fun of her, and Quran reassured her that they would not allow hatred triumph.
“Appearance has nothing to do with it; we are given our appearance; how can we control how we look,” replied Cheryl. What matters most is our heart.
The couple talked about the prospect of having a child together and the criticism they faced during an interview on “This Morning” in March 2023.
They claimed that I can’t care for a baby due of my age, I suppose. I don’t view it as a problem because I have more energy than half of these kids who are currently taking care of babies. Cheryl remarked.
Cheryl explained how the couple looked into surrogacy and adoption even though they may not be able to conceive on their own.
Regardless of what anyone says, the McCains have continued to share their love on social media and have stayed optimistic about maybe growing their family. Quran also said:
“This is a happy, healthy marriage, we’re looking to start a family, and that’s all we’ve got,” they said. “We’re just going to continue living our lives.”
And Quran reiterated his defense of his decision to remain with Cheryl in a March 2023 TikTok. “Why do you go to such lengths for someone who is 37 years older than you?” the overlay text in the video said. Quran replied in the caption of the picture by saying, “She completes me.”
