63-Year-Old Grandma Announces She's Expecting Baby With 26-Year-Old Hubby: "It's Happening!"

• A 63-year-old woman has left social media users with unanswered questions after announcing that she and her husband were expecting
• The lovebirds shared a video of themselves dancing joyfully as they flaunted the pregnancy test kit and scans
• Cheryl is married to 26-year-old Quran, a union that has often been criticised due to the 37-year age gap

A couple with a 37-year age gap has announced they're expecting a baby together, leaving social media in awe.

Cheryl, 63, and her husband, 26-year-old Quran, shared the exciting news in a viral TikTok video.

Couple listened to the baby's heartbeat

The video captured them dancing excitedly as they flaunted the positive pregnancy test, adding that they'd been to the doctor and listened to their baby's heartbeat.

Cheryl and Quran danced happily as they showed off the scan, seemingly unable to believe their long-awaited baby was coming.

"It's finally happening; we're starting our family," they captioned the clip, explaining that their surrogate was pregnant.

During the announcement, the couple also played a clip of the baby's heartbeat with the hashtag "happiness."

The Mirror records that Cheryl already has seven children from a previous relationship and is a grandmother to 17 grandkids.

"I can't wait, we finally get to start our little family. I'm so happy. I'm gonna be a father. We got a family, finally," an overjoyed Quran said.

Announcement left social media users with questions

A cross-section of social media users questioned how the grandmother intends to raise the baby given her advanced age.

Others kept asking how possible the pair could be having a child, with some suggesting Cheryl may have frozen her eggs.

"I'm happy for yall; forget the haters. Age doesn't mean anything when it comes to two adults."

Gynaecologist responds to question about the pregnancy

Dr Nyachira Muthiga, a Resident Obstetrics and Gynaecologist at the University of Nairobi, spoke to TUKO.co.ke about pregnancy at such an age.

Nyachira explained that women go into menopause between the ages of 42 and 55, which means they no longer produce eggs.

"That is why women freeze their eggs or embryos in the event they want to have children past menopause," she said.

The gynaecologist added that the best time to preserve is before one runs out of time, which is usually in the 30s.

Why do women freeze eggs?

Once that happens, the client only pays a storage fee every year every year until the day they finally decide to have the babies.

Thanks to technology, these eggs can be stored for as long as possible unless the facility closes down.

"Women freeze eggs because of reasons like surgeries which mess up their ovaries or eggs," she noted.

That makes it easy for women to become mothers regardless of their advanced age, which is most probably Cheryl's case.

The Women's Hospital International and Fertility Centre announced in a Facebook post.

The hospital revealed that Safina Namukwaya had undergone IVF treatment and was the newest mother in town.
