A mum from Georgia has admitted she’s ready to have baby number eight at the age of 62.
Grandmother Cheryl McGregor insists she is ready to mother a child with hubby Quran, 26, and has already spoken to three surrogates about the process.
The couple from Rome in Georgia also said they’d be open to the idea of adopting to materialise their dream.
Speaking on This Morning, Cheryl – whose seven children are from a previous relationship – hit out at those who said she was too old to take care of a tot. She slammed the trolls for their words and insisted she has more energy than half those complaining.
The pair spoke to the UK breakfast show via a video link from Atlanta. Cheryl told the hosts: “They said I guess just because of my age I can’t take care of a baby, what? I have got more energy than half of these kids that are taking care of babies now and I don’t see it as a problem.
She continued: “No I can not have a baby myself but we have done the surrogacy thing where we already had three surrogates and right now we are looking for another one and also maybe adoption.”
The couple have a huge following of over three million on TikTok and revealed they’ve had to “battle” with their families over their relationship.
Those closest to them are said to see the coupling as a joke, but Cheryl insists that’s not the case. She added: “Out of seven of my children I really have two but one who really stands by us through everything and it took a while to come to that conclusion that they like him.”
