“Love Doesn’t Follow Rules—And That’s What Makes It Beautiful”
Love is unpredictable. It has no rules, no timeline, and certainly no age limit. For Quran McCain, 25, and Cheryl McGregor, 62, their love story proves just that. Despite their 37-year age difference, the couple stands proudly by their bond, even in the face of relentless criticism.
Quran took to TikTok recently to address the burning question trolls keep asking: “Why are you so devoted to someone 37 years older than you?” His answer? Raw, honest, and straight from the heart. “She completes me,” he captioned their video, adding, “I wanna feel alive—I don’t even wanna die anymore.” For Quran, Cheryl isn’t just a partner; she’s his source of joy and strength.

But the internet, as it often does, had its fair share of skeptics. Comments mocking their age gap—some calling Cheryl “grandma” or pointing out their birth years—flooded their post. Yet, just as the haters emerged, so did supporters with messages of encouragement.
“You two are adorable! I hope to find happiness like yours one day,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “Age is just a number. If you’re happy, that’s all that matters.” A third commenter shared their own experience: “My partner and I have a 27-year gap. He’s my best friend, and I couldn’t be happier.”
Quran and Cheryl’s story began years before their romance blossomed. The two first met in Rome, Georgia, at a Dairy Queen where Cheryl’s son, Chris, worked. Back then, Quran was just 15, and romance was the furthest thing from their minds. It wasn’t until 2020 that their relationship turned romantic. By 2021, Quran had proposed, and the couple eloped to Tennessee to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony.
Now, they’re looking toward an exciting future together. The pair hopes to start a family, even exploring the possibility of surrogacy to make their dream a reality.
Their relationship has drawn plenty of attention, both good and bad. But through it all, Quran and Cheryl remain steadfast, amassing over three million followers on TikTok who tune in to witness their journey. Speaking on The Morning Show, Quran summed up their philosophy perfectly: “We are happy, we are very much happy. This is a healthy marriage, and we’re looking forward to starting our family. That’s all that matters.”
Their story reminds us of a simple yet powerful truth: love doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else. What matters is that it makes you feel alive.
So, next time you see a love story that defies convention, remember Quran and Cheryl. After all, isn’t happiness what we’re all searching for?
