London, April 17, 2014:  UK media is reporting that a 12-year-old has just delivered her 13-year-old boyfriend’s baby, making them the country’s youngest parents.

Their daughter, who weighs 7 pounds, was reportedly born last weekend. She fell pregnant at 11, while still at primary school, shortly after starting a relationship with a boy who lives near her family home in north London, The Sun reports.

The Sun quotes a source close to the couple as saying that they " 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," a source told The Sun.

"The baby’s mum and dad have been in a relationship for more than a year, so it isn’t a fleeting romance. They intend to stick together and bring their daughter up together," he added.

The new parents, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have - at just 25 - the lowest combined age of any British parents in history.

School friends said they had no idea the girl, who lives in a North London home with her 27-year-old mom, was pregnant.

"Everyone is shocked. She was in school until March this year. She didn’t look pregnant. She’s only tiny anyway. She didn’t have a bulge on her," said one pal.

It’s believed she wants to return to school in Sept. to continue her studies.

At 12 years and three months, the girl is five months younger than Britain’s previous youngest mom, Tressa Middleton.

The youngest dad on record is Sean Stewart, who became a father aged just 12 in 1998.
