Cheryl McGregor, 63, and her husband Quran McCain, 26, are no strangers to attention, both positive and negative, regarding their 37-year age gap. The couple, who rose to fame through their TikTok content, have now opened up about the most common question people ask about their unconventional relationship.
Married since 2021, the American duo has built a strong bond, connecting deeply both emotionally and physically. Despite criticism from online trolls, Cheryl and Quran remain committed to each other and are navigating their life together with resilience and love.
Fans React to Their Relationship
After a recent interview, viewers shared their thoughts on social media, with many expressing admiration and support.
“This interview really shifted my perspective on their relationship. I’m genuinely happy for them both and wish them all the happiness and love they deserve,” one person commented.
Another added, “It’s nice to see that they’ve found a safe place in each other. I wish them the best.”
However, alongside the encouragement, the couple continues to face negative attention online.
Overcoming Online Trolling
In a conversation with Truly, Quran revealed some of the backlash they’ve endured. “They say I’m dating my grandmother, they say she can never bear children from you,” he explained.
Cheryl, a mother of seven and grandmother to 17, responded to critics with a firm statement: “People need to get a life and stop trying to take away mine from me.”
In another interview with Love Don’t Judge, Cheryl opened up about the emotional toll of the trolling. “A lot of the stuff is so hurtful—my self-esteem, everything. It’s not a good feeling at all. I’m trying to spread positivity, but you can’t spread positivity when there’s negativity attacking you back to back.”
Their Journey to Start a Family
Despite the challenges, Cheryl and Quran are focusing on building their family. In 2022, they began their surrogacy journey, but the process has been anything but smooth.
Their first surrogate withdrew from the arrangement, reportedly breaching their contract by engaging in unprotected intercourse during the process. Quran expressed frustration about the situation, telling NeedToKnow.co.uk, “We’re completely broke. We don’t get paid for our content. And then the surrogate goes and bleeds us dry.”
More recently, their second surrogacy attempt also hit a roadblock. In a heartfelt video, Quran shared the emotional strain of the experience.
“For the last two weeks, I’ve been going through hell,” he said. “All I want is a family and a healthy baby. On Father’s Day, I woke up to a text at six in the morning saying, ‘I don’t wanna do this anymore.’ I’m tired, I’m overwhelmed.”
Opening Up About Their Intimate Life
Cheryl and Quran have also been candid about their love life, addressing the curiosity surrounding their physical relationship. The couple, who run an OFs account, recently appeared on the Unmedicated and Educated podcast, where they shared that they maintain an active intimate life, engaging multiple times a week.
“I give him what he wants, he’s happy, and I don’t have any doubt that he’ll ever cheat on me,” Cheryl confidently stated.
Addressing critics who question their physical compatibility, she added, “I keep up with him.” She also revealed a practical step she takes to avoid discomfort: “I take potassium so I don’t get cramps while I’m doing it.”
Focusing on Love and Resilience
Through the ups and downs, Cheryl and Quran continue to navigate their unique relationship with transparency and determination. Their story serves as a reminder that love comes in many forms and can transcend societal expectations.
