A grandma and her toyboy lover have defended their relationship, hitting back at detractors of their 37-year age gap.
Quran McCain, 24 and his now-fiancé, Cheryl McGregor, 61, met when he was just 15, but there were no romantic feelings until last year.
And despite him being younger than one of her own kids, they both say their sex life is fantastic and they have great chemistry.
The grandma-of-17 said she said does get upset by the hateful comments posted online where she proudly shares videos of their lives.
But they aren’t shying away, recently getting engaged and starting an OnlyFans account together to share NSFW content.
Cheryl said: ‘It’s different, it’s amazing, he’s very compassionate to me and I think it’s because he’s a younger man .
‘I couldn’t have that with anybody else, he’s very emotional and that’s something I’ve never dealt with – they were all angry and he’s emotional in a good way because he shows me he really cares.’
The couple met when they worked at fast food restaurant Dairy Queen in 2012 in Rome, Georgia, USA.
Cheryl’s son Chris was his manager, and she would visit his workplace to check on him or get a meal, but Quran was only 15 at the time so there was no romantic involvement.
‘We didn’t think much of each other – she drove a baby blue Carrera and that’s the only reason I noticed her!’ he said.
He eventually left his job and the pair lost contact, until November last year, when Quran went to the convenience store where Cheryl was working as a cashier.
From there, their connection blossomed.
‘We connected on a spiritual level,’ said carer Quran.
‘No matter the situation we just have a certain vibe that connects anytime we are around each other.
‘We went on a date and I told her feel like I’m catching feelings. She said she had too, but just didn’t think we should cross that line because friends don’t always stay friends when they date.’
It was a case of best-laid plans for the pair, and they became intimate, saying their sex life is ‘amazing’.
Quran said: ‘It gets better and better every time. It’s pretty normal, it’s not out of the ordinary, but to me it’s amazing.
‘She knows what she’s doing – that’s the best part!’
Cheryl is only six years younger than Quran’s grandmother and eight years younger than his grandfather. Her youngest daughter is three years older than him at 29.
That’s caused problems, with Quran and Cheryl receiving judgment from family and friends.
Quran said: ‘Nobody was accepting, everyone thought we were joking or thought it was all games.
‘Some of her seven kids turned on her due to her dating a younger black man. She was very hurt. It hurt her because she raised them to not be like that.’
TikTok, where they post videos of themselves dancing, has also been a source of upset for Cheryl, who regularly receives hateful comments about her age.
Thousands of commenters refer to Cheryl as Quran’s ‘grandma’, call her a ‘zombie’, or say that their unusual relationship is illegal.
Cheryl said: ‘Sometimes it makes me cry because it gets so terrible.
‘It also has an impact on my life, I have been building myself up for a long time and being on TikTok its destroyed all that and I’m constantly trying to pull that self esteem back up and it’s very very hard.’
They have over 70,000 accounts blocked on the app, and Quran says he’s extra supportive of his fiancé knowing what she’s experiencing online.
They’re planning to get married soon – after Quran asked Cheryl in July – and won’t let judgment or comments get to them,
Quran said: ‘Keep doing you, do what makes you happy.
‘At the end of day everyone’s going to judge you for something so you might as well do what you feel is right and never let someone take your peace.’
Cheryl said: ‘Don’t look for love because it will find you, because I wasn’t looking for love and it found me and it’s amazing.’
