OnlyFans model becomes one of the youngest grandmothers in Britain aged 34

A model has become one of the UK's youngest grandmothers at the age of just 34.

OnlyFans star, Rachel McIntyre, welcomed her first grandchild at the end of July and shared the exciting news on social media.

However, users claimed she looked far too young to be a granny, while some congratulated her on what they assumed to be her newborn.

Rachel fell pregnant for the first time when she was just 15, becoming a mum at 16-years-old.

So when she discovered that her then 17-year-old daughter was pregnant last year, she had some reservations because she understands how hard it can be being a young, full-time mum.

She said: "My daughter's only just turned 18, and I was very shocked when I found out she was pregnant.

"But once it sunk in, I started getting excited.

"I knew that I was obviously going to support her as well."

And while Rachel, who also has a 10-year-old daughter, is enjoying being a grandmother, she admitted that it was 'quite traumatising' watching her daughter in labour.

"It was quite traumatising to see your daughter go through something like that at 17.

"The labour was a bit horrific, but thankfully my granddaughter is such a good baby. She doesn't really cry. She just makes noises when she's hungry and eats and sleeps."

Rachel said the biggest advantage to being a young granny is that she has 'got a lot more energy' to do a lot of things with her granddaughter.

The model said: "The biggest upside to being such a young granny is that I've got a lot more energy.

"When my granddaughter is a bit older, I can take her out to places and I won't be tired like older grannies."

Because of how young she looks, Rachel added that she 'always get asked for ID'.

"It's annoying, but it's a bit of a compliment too." she said.

"People don't even believe I'm my daughter's mum. They look at me in complete shock when I tell them. They're like, 'Wait, are you not sisters? When I say I'm a granny too, it's even more of a shock."

She continued: "I don't think there's any downsides to being a granny at 34. I've not been judged for it yet, but it will probably happen.

"I'm not bothered though. People will criticise anything these days. Life is all about being happy, and as long as you're happy, then you'll go far."

Rachel said that despite looking more like her granddaughter's mum than her grandmother, she would never want to be called anything else.

"I want to be called granny. I would never want to be called just Rachel. She's my angel." she said.
