A 12-year-old girl recently gave birth to a 7-pound baby girl, making her and her 13-year-old boyfriend Britain’s youngest parents. According to The Sun, the girl fell pregnant at 11 after beginning a relationship with a nearby boy in North London. This couple now holds the record for the lowest combined age of British parents.
A family source shared that the young couple, together for over a year, are “deeply in love” and committed to raising their baby together. Both families are reportedly very supportive, despite the unique challenges posed by the parents’ ages. “It’s not a fleeting romance; they want to raise their daughter together,” the source said. “They’re devoted to each other and see this as true love, even planning for marriage.” The young mother, who resides with her own mother, hopes to resume school in September.
