I was called a paedo on my wedding day after marrying a ’10-year-old boy’ – now we’re expecting triplets

A WOMAN who was branded a paedophile after followers mistook her wife for a 10-year-old boy has announced she is expecting triplets.

Lauren and Hannah Kaye tied the knot this summer after two years of dating.

But the 31-year-old hadn’t expected the barrage of abuse that would follow.

The pair are constantly scrutinised by strangers because despite Hannah being 29 years of age – just three years younger than Lauren – she’s often mistaken for a ten-year-old schoolboy.

But the defiant couple are now months away from becoming parents following IVF using Hannah’s eggs and donor sperm have learnt to ignore their haters.

“People think I married a school boy and am having his children. They are ridiculous and uneducated,” says Lauren, 31, who has a son, ten, and a nine-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

“They don’t realise my ‘ten-year-old’ wife is actually a 29-year-old woman.

“We’re thrilled to be having triplets and we don’t care what people’ think they see’. It makes us laugh.”

Social media promoter Lauren who lives near Kingston, Surrey, with specialist engineer Hannah, are bracing themselves for more backlash as the birth of their babies, who are due in June, draws closer.

“I know the abuse will only get worse now that I’m pregnant,” says Lauren.

“I won’t be stressed by the haters.”

The couple met on Tinder two years ago and instantly hit it off.

Hannah proposed in January 2024 and the couple went onto marry seven months later at a registry office in Surrey.

They both knew they wanted to be parents and almost immediately flew to Northern Cyprus for the first round of IVF.

Having two children already ruled Lauren out of having NHS treatment in the UK.

The women spent £9k on reciprocal IVF, a fertility treatment option available for same-sex female couples and also sometimes referred to as shared motherhood.

Some people said it was cute that my ten-year-old son walked me down the aisle…others viciously attacked me for snogging a ten-year-old boy. Even today we walk down the street and people yell

It involves taking the eggs from one woman, fertilising them with a donor sperm, before implanting the embryos in the womb of another.

“We chose a Swedish sperm donor because he was the closest match to our skin tones and looks,” explains Hannah.

Whilst Hannah underwent a stimulation cycle to help her body produce the maximum number of eggs for harvesting, Lauren underwent womb stimulation to prepare her body for pregnancy.

The couple say the treatment was gruelling.

Lauren recalls: “It’s an exhausting and stressful process. Hannah had her eggs harvested and only three made it through to the successful fertilisation stage. 

“We decided to have all three implanted to give us the best chance of conceiving.

“We knew the odds of the three embryos staying in the womb were incredibly slim and the clinic doctors advised us it was the best decision to make.”

Three days after the implantation in September Lauren felt unwell and took a pregnancy test.

“We were told to wait two weeks to test but I just had a feeling. When the test turned positive Hannah and I were overwhelmed,” she says.

“To get a positive pregnancy result three days after implantation is unheard of. It was a miracle.”

A joyous moment

Two weeks later a blood test confirmed Lauren was expecting – and a scan revealed she was pregnant with not just not one baby, but three.

“I was pregnant with triplets. It was a joyous moment for us both,” says Lauren.

All three embryos are in self-contained placentas and Lauren is having scans every two weeks to monitor the multiple pregnancy.

“Hannah and I joke that we got a ‘three for one deal’,” she says.

“To reach the three-month mark and all babies to be developing happily is another miracle.”

Lauren and Hannah have been warned the risk of losing one or more of the babies is high and they know that triplets can often result in a premature birth.

“We’re prepared for anything and hoping for the best possible outcome,” Lauren says.

Viciously attacked

But the couple’s happy news has not deterred trolls from writing vicious remarks on Lauren’s Instagram.

The haters began their trolling when the couple uploaded their wedding photos to social media.

“Some people said it was cute that my ten-year-old son walked me down the aisle,” Lauren says.

“While others viciously attacked me for snogging a ten-year-old boy. Even today we walk down the street and people yell.

“Hannah is tough but at first,  I was angry that our amazing wedding day photos had been attacked.

“Now I know the trolls are so narrow-minded.  There is no point engaging with them.”

Lauren has learnt to see the funny side of Hannah’s youthful jibes.

“I paid thousands of pounds to look younger and change my body and appearance, but my wife is just very lucky to have incredible genes,” she says.

“I’m convinced Hannah will never age. Our babies will be beautiful and youthful.”

But Hannah admits that her youthful looks do come with some downsides and she is repeatedly asked for ID.

She reveals: “Buying alcohol, a lottery ticket or even travelling is hard.

“We were at an adult only hotel and staff told Lauren she couldn’t bring her ten-year-old son. We just laugh and carry ID now.”

Lauren, who first hit the headlines in January last year when she shared her amazing 15 stone after having a gastric sleeve fitted, says that meeting Hannah changed her life.

“I knew I was gay but I had been in denial most of my life,” she says.

“I lost my dad in 1999 in a plane crash and my mum found love with another woman and I was severely bullied as a result.

“I had two children with a man determined to have what I thought was my idea of ‘normal’. It wasn’t. 

“Finally accepting my true self, completing a surgical makeover and weight loss and finding Hannah and her love was the key to the new me.

“I had a makeover mentally and physically. Now I am the happiest I have ever been.”

Now, as the pair prepare for motherhood, Lauren says her focus is on her wife, family, pregnancy and career.

But Lauren faces a battle as she has been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe type of morning sickness.

She says this pregnancy is much harder than her previous two.

“Carrying my first two children I had easy pregnancies. I experienced some morning sickness but nothing like I have with the triplets,” she says.

“It’s likely the babies will be premature. That might mean a long period in the hospital ICU.  

The more clicks the more money I make and the better off for my family is…the trolls boost my income so bring it on

Lauren Kaye

“We’re looking for baby items but are not buying things in threes, we don’t want to jinx anything.

“Reaching the end of the first trimester is a milestone. But we know the chances of miscarrying one or two is still there.

“Our focus is welcoming the three healthy babies. Growing our amazing family and taking it from there.”

And as for the trolls, Lauren says she has the last laugh – she has 29k followers on Instagram and even negative comments make her money.

She explains: “The more clicks the more money I make and the better off for my family is. 

“The trolls boost my income so bring it on I say.”

She adds: “Ten years ago, I thought the future was bleak. 

“Now I am earning a living online. I am healthier, a new woman, more in love than I have ever been and expecting triplets.

“Let the trolls say what they like, I’ve never been happier.”
