IS IT even possible for you to get pregnant?

This is something Jade from Ohio in the US has been asked all her life. At just under Im tall, she didn't imagine she'd be pregnant twice but then again, she also hadn't reckoned on meeting her partner, Todd.

At 1,75m tall, Todd towers over Jade, who's 96cm tall - and people gawk at them wherever they go. But Jade couldn't care less about the stares and gapes because she's received a lot of it over the years due to her condition.

Jade (25) was born with chondrodysplasia, a collection of skeletal disorders characterised by dwarfism and abnormal body proportions.

She'd always longed to be a mother and her dream came true when Todd (24) crossed her path a few years ago.

The pair fell head over heels in love after meeting on social media when Jade noticed Todd's striking long hair. Following a whirlwind romance, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony, exchanging vows with “cheap little rings” they bought at a thrift store.

But their love has attracted all kinds of criticism from the difference in their height to Todd being non-binary and preferring them/they pronouns.

Todd has been targeted after appearing in Jade's TikTok videos and live streams. Her fans have also accused Todd of being a paedophile because her followers see Jade as a child.

“We got so many negative comments, it was insane Jade says. “People would be like, 'Is that a man or a woman? That's the most androgynous person I've ever seen in my life'.
