The young parents have set the record of the lowest combined age of any British parents in history.
A source close to the family told The Sun that the pair, who have been in a relationship for over a year, were ‘totally in love’ and plan to bring up their newborn daughter together. ‘Both sets of grandparents are incredibly supportive. It’s a very difficult situation because the parents are both so young – but their families are right behind them. ‘The baby’s mum and dad have been in a relationship for more than year, so this isn’t a fleeting romance. They intend to stick together and bring their daughter up together.
‘They’re very into each other, totally in love. She is obsessed with him. She sees this as true love. They want to get married.’ The young mother, who lives with her mother, hopes to return to school in September.
