“Britain’s Youngest Parents: 12-Year-Old Girl and 13-Year-Old Boy Make History”
Last weekend, a 12-year-old girl gave birth to a 7lb baby girl, making her and her 13-year-old boyfriend the youngest parents in Britain. According to The Sun, the girl became pregnant at just 11 years old, shortly after starting a relationship with a boy from her neighborhood in North London. Their incredible story has now set the record for the lowest combined age of any British parents in history.
A close family source told The Sun that the young couple, who have been together for over a year, are “totally in love” and are determined to raise their newborn daughter together. “Both sets of grandparents are incredibly supportive,” the source shared. “It’s a very challenging situation because of their age, but their families are right behind them.”
The couple is committed to each other, with plans to build a future as a family. “They’ve been in a relationship for over a year, so this isn’t just a brief fling. They truly care for each other,” the source added. “The young mum is absolutely obsessed with him. She believes it’s true love and dreams of getting married.”
Living with her mother, who at 27 is one of the UK’s youngest grandmothers, the new mother hopes to return to school by September. The family, though young, is resolute in their commitment to raising the baby and facing the challenges ahead, supported by the love and encouragement of their families.
