I was 18 when I got a negative pregnancy test but 18 years on she's still here & folk can't tell which of us is the mum
Jeanice Perez, from the US, took to social media to share her teen mum story as she celebrated her daughter's 18th birthday.

However, it seems that viewers were more preoccupied with learning who the mum was in the video as she looked so young.
In the clip, Jeanice said: "POV The negative pregnancy test you took when you were 18 turns 18 this year."
Jeanice and her daughter can both be seen singing along to a Kesha song and dancing in the kitchen.
But the mum's youthful appearance had viewers confused as to who was who.
Her daughter, Jordyn, could be seen wearing a beige apron while her mum wore a red vest top and a baseball hat.
The stunning duo often shares snippets of their life and how Jeanice went from being a teen mum to parenting a teen.
In the past, the mum has hit back at those who claim she 'doesn't dress like a mum.'
One comment read: "Her daughter is probably so embarrassed of her. She is a mum and should dress like one."
Jeanice showed off her outfit which consisted of a grey mini skirt and red tie-front top.
She hit back: "Let's not put women in competitions they didn't sign up to be in."
I'm a 65-year-old gran but look so young people think I'm my daughter's twin - they're stunned when they hear the truth
The clip was shared on her TikTok account @ jeaniceperez and went viral with over 12 million views.
People were quick to take to the comments, many wondering who was who while others were traumatised by her negative pregnancy test story.
One person wrote: "I genuinely can not tell who is who."
"WHICH ONE IS THE MUM??" penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "So which one is 18?"
"Okay. Who is who?' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'My 6 negatives turned 11 this year."

Love Island fans clock the ‘real reason' Meg and Dejon voted for Yas and Jamie in tense villa game
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans say they've clocked the 'real reason' that Meg and Dejon voted for Yas and Jamie, in a tense villa game. After the Meet The Parents episode, the Islanders played the game 'couple goals' with Meg and Dejon as hosts. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island fans say they've clocked the 'real reason' that Meg and Dejon voted for Yas and Jamie, in a tense villa game Credit: Eroteme 4 They voted for Yas and Jamie for the 'most likely to care how they're perceived' category Credit: Eroteme 4 The Islanders gathered around the fire pit for the very intense game Credit: Eroteme The pair read out questions which the Islanders then had to answer in their couples as they selected which couple they believe it applies to most. It turned out to be a very tense game, heightened when Meg and Dejon voted Jamie and Yas for the 'most likely to care how they're perceived' category. Dejon and Yasmin have notoriously not seen eye to eye during their time on the dating show. And now, Love Island fans have speculated that Meg and Dejon feel threatened by Yas and Jamie, as one person wrote on X: 'Meg and Dejon deffo know Yas and Jamie are strong contenders. #LoveIslandUK.' A second person added: 'Not meg and dejon going after yas and jamie now bc theyre the strongest couple.' And a third person echoed: 'It's obvious what is happening here. Meg and Dejon know Yas and Jamie are winners and they feel threatened.' Dejon's behaviour on the show has come under scrutiny from fans and, more recently, from his sister, who visited during Meet The Parents. Gene and her mum Demelza paid Dejon a visit as part of the iconic episode. Love Island's Dejon declares his love for Meg as they become boyfriend and girlfriend The duo have since faced a backlash from fans who have accused them of glossing over Dejon's flirty behaviour with bombshells in the villa and "enabling" the curt way he has spoken to some of the girls like Billykiss and Yasmin. On one occasion Dejon bluntly told Billykiss that she was after 15 minutes of fame by commenting on his relationship with Meg. He rudely rated Yas's kissing skills zero out of 10 during a challenge and didn't like it when she claimed he was acting up just to keep partner Meg happy. While on another occasion he refused to speak with Yas when she politely asked him for a conversation. Gene insisted she gave Dejon a dressing-down during her visit and called out his more controversial moments, however none of it made the cut. Speaking on TikTok, she said: "Me and mum, literally straight away, went in on him. I grilled him for five minutes straight and they didn't show any of it. Not even a single second. I just think it's crazy what they actually choose to put in the show." She continued: "I told him about himself 'the way you handle situations sometimes you should handle in a better way'... I told him there's a lot of things you have to change when you come out of the villa. "So many things in that conversation were spoken about and they showed 10 seconds of the conversation. We grilled him so much." She finished by saying that while people can believe what they want to believe, she is "not an enabler" and will tell her brother and her siblings how she really feels. There was a giveaway clue that Dejon had been on the receiving end of some home truths in the episode when he told his family: "You lot just come in to cook me or what?" Viewers of Gene's video seemed to back her version of events, with one commenting: "Tbh I believe her. I actually noticed when Shakira was having a conversation with her mum about Harry how choppy the editing felt. If you go back and watch it's very obvious at times that they cut away from her mum talking mid-sentence." Another said: "Fair enough! I'll give her the benefit of the doubt - his mum still didn't need to add that bit about apologising to Yasmin." A third said: "It's not that his family didn't say things that excused his behaviour because they did, we heard that, but I do believe they grilled him too. Dejon seemed quite shaken after. They don't always show that balance though, because it's not as entertaining."

'Her acid tongue is usually in her cheek': How Gwyneth Paltrow became a divisive, defiant icon
Her larger-than-life sensibility and scale of ambition have led to both admiration and criticism – and she seems to thrive in her own divisiveness. The author of new book Gwyneth: The Biography, tells the BBC what fascinates her about the star. Gwyneth Paltrow is hardly an enigma. From crystal "healing" eggs to vagina-themed candles, we might feel that we know the actress and businesswoman intimately. And yet, we really only know her through headlines – most recently, she starred in US tech firm Astronomer's "clever PR move". For more than 30 years, through stories about her boyfriends, her "conscious uncoupling" from Chris Martin, crying at the Oscars, narrowly escaping Harvey Weinstein's advances, and in the very public 2023 ski-crash trial, the public has come to both love and loathe her. Now a new book, Gwyneth: The Biography, explores Paltrow's life and divisive public persona. The woman who admits she "can't possibly pretend to be someone who makes $25,000 a year", and laments that an accident on the slopes she was (wrongly) blamed for caused her to lose a day of skiing, seems to thrive in her own divisiveness. Her acid tongue is usually in her cheek, we have to imagine, when she says these things. It's as if she's winking and nudging in an "if you know, you know" fashion. "Gwyneth has, to her extraordinary credit, found a way to be even more annoying," the Guardian wrote upon the launch of Goop in 2008. Paltrow's wellness empire catapulted her into a whole new stratosphere of celebrity. And experts in health have been scathing about some of the claims made by Goop and Paltrow. In January 2020, NHS chief Simon Stevens claimed that the Goop brand championed the views of "quacks, charlatans and cranks". His comments followed the Netflix airing of The Goop Lab, a behind-the-scenes view of Paltrow's business. In an interview Paltrow brushed off criticism with a blithe side swipe at naysayers. "I will never understand the level of fascination and projection. But we don't want to not change the conversation just to please everybody," she said, following up with the assertion that despite a lack of scientific basis for Goop products, unqualified health measures had been around for "thousands of years". And yet, Paltrow is fully aware of her saleability. Last week, following the drama in which a couple at a Coldplay concert – later revealed to be colleagues from AI company Astronomer – dived to get out of view of the camera, Paltrow was recruited to front a PR campaign for the organisation. SmartCompany labelled it "an iconic PR turnaround". In her clever, deadpan style (which she demonstrated in the ski court trial), Paltrow nails the butter-wouldn't-melt persona the ad calls for. Larger than life In the new book by journalist and author Amy Odell, Paltrow is described as "one of the most resented celebrities in the world". While Gwyneth herself didn't participate in the book, Odell interviewed more than 220 friends, colleagues and industry insiders to create a narrative of how this waifish blonde actress morphed from Brad Pitt's girlfriend to a single, unmistakable name. It follows Odell's last book, Anna: The Biography, which was published in 2022, about Vogue fashion doyenne Anna Wintour. There are parallels between the two women's lives and personas that are undeniable, both are ambitious, larger-than-life figures, and it's easy to see why Odell was transfixed by them. The scale of ambition displayed by both of these women is something that interested the author. "I think ambition is a great thing, and that's a trait I admire greatly in both of them," Odell tells the BBC. "Women's ambition is not always viewed positively, and I wondered if that's why Gwyneth downplayed her ambition early in her career," says Odell. "I also am interested in people who have had cultural impact, and ambition probably helps explain why both were able to accomplish things that truly did impact culture." And there's no denying the scale of Paltrow's goals, says the author. "With Gwyneth, we see her ambition in the breadth of Goop – she wanted Goop to do everything, and to execute it all perfectly. That's how Goop ended up as a newsletter, a publishing imprint, a live events business, a beauty line, a fashion line, and more." Paltrow may have been portrayed as an ice queen, however, her friends refute this. On an episode of Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef, Paltrow's friend Shaman Durek claimed the ice queen label was "all lies". He said, "She will give you the shirt off her back. She doesn't get angry. It takes her a lot to get angry. And even when she gets angry, she feels sad about being angry because she doesn't want to be angry." He added, "Gwyneth is the most loving person." She has also been underestimated. For all her acting talent, Paltrow's love life – and the famous men she has often been attached to – has inspired sensationalist tabloid speculation. Even leading up to the publication of this biography, tabloid magazines were hungrily republishing excerpts purely focused on former partners Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Chris Martin. Like father, like daughter? Some describe Paltrow as a "nepo baby". Her father, Bruce Paltrow, was an established producer (Hill Street Blues) and her mother Blythe Danner was, and is, a noted actress (in 2000's Meet the Parents, among many other films). She was attending theatres with her mother from infancy, but she worked for her gigs: auditioning, rehearsing and spending hours on set, determined to get the take. When she won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love in 1999 at the age of 26, her teary acceptance speech made her the butt of relentless jokes. In the same year, The Guardian labelled her "Worst Actress" in its list of "Worst Winner's Speech Awards". In 2023, Paltrow told Variety that the "British press was so horrible to me". One of the focal points of Odell's book is the close father-daughter relationship between Bruce and Gwyneth. It was Paltrow's father, the book suggests, who engendered the sense of heightened privilege and lofty expectations his daughter became accustomed to from childhood. When working on films, Bruce would fly first class with Gwyneth and her brother, Jake, even when, it is claimed, their mother Blythe was flying economy. Odell's book recounts the time Gwyneth boarded a plane with her mother and said, "You mean instead of flying first class, we're flying no class?" "It's impossible to understand someone, as a biographer, if you don't take the time to research where a subject came from, and how their parents impacted them," Odell tells the BBC. "I always make a big effort to interview people who knew a subject's parents, and was fortunate to gain great insight into Gwyneth through those interviews. Gwyneth is a fascinating mix of both of her parents – she has her mother's extraordinary acting talent and her dad's polarising personality and excellent aesthetic taste."

Losing your father is a seismic event, says Odell. "Gwyneth lost Bruce when she was 30 years old. I lost my dad suddenly, too, when I was 27," she tells the BBC. "It was a huge, inexplicable tragedy for which I desperately wanted answers where there were none. Gwyneth went looking for answers after her dad was diagnosed with throat cancer – so I can understand the instinct to do that in a very personal way. I think Gwyneth found answers in wellness, and later started sharing her findings with the public through Goop, whether they were rooted in science or not." So, while attention on Paltrow has often centred on her famous partners, or her success attributed to her father's industry networking, to have built Goop into a multimillion-dollar lifestyle empire is to her credit. And despite the accusations of quackery, the fact that she has been derided for it perhaps tells us more about society's attitude to successful women than anything else. Readers will likely flock to Gwyneth: The Biography in search of gossip and insights into the charmed life of celebrities. What they'll get, in addition, is a reminder that ice queen Gwyneth is just as complicated and curious as we are. Soon after turning 50, Gwyneth said, "As a woman, you turn 50, and maybe we all give ourselves permission to be exactly who we are. And we stop trying to be what other people are expecting us to be, and you kind of exhale into this other thing." Ultimately, love her or hate her, Gwyneth is always going to exist in another sphere to 99.9% of us – and whatever we expect her to be, she will probably confound those expectations.

Man splurges £600 on National Lottery Scratchcards and winnings floor him
One man recently admitted he spent £600 on National Lottery Scratchcards to see what he could win - and was left totally floored by the result. He recently shared all Many punters occasionally dabble with a Scratchcard in hopes of a quick fortune, fully aware that the odds of winning big - or at all - are down to pure chance. One TikTok user, jax4154, recently took a gamble by splurging £600 on National Lottery Scratchcards to test his luck. After an intense session of scratching, he shared the outcome of his venture, and it's safe to say the results left him utterly astonished. In his video, he confessed to having conducted similar experiments before, but decided to give it another go to check for any possible differences. This kind of challenge isn't new. Previously, one person even purchased every Scratchcard available during a Ryanair flight to see what fortunes might unfold. He explained his process in the video, stating: "I'm about to scratch 120 Millionaire Maker Scratchards. Why do I do this? So you don't have to. "This particular Scratchcard I've bought, once I've scratched all of these, this will be number 700 in this series of Scratchcards I've bought, and the biggest win has been £100." While acknowledging that there are stories of people landing hefty prizes, he expressed scepticism about the likelihood of such wins. His "scratch off" was intended as a demonstration to show the harsh reality behind the allure of Scratchcards. After revealing the results of his Scratchcard experiment, he highlighted the stark contrast between his "loser pile" and "winner pile". He ended up with a total return of £385 from an initial outlay of £600, with his largest single win being £50. His aim was to demonstrate the potential losses involved in playing Scratchcards. He firmly believes that people should "keep away" from Scratchcards due to the high risk of losing significant sums of money. This is the reason he conducts these experiments periodically. Since uploading the video, it has attracted dozens of views and prompted comments from viewers. One viewer commented: "Well done. It's a mug's game." Another added their insight, adding: "Scratchcards win ratio is about one in four. If you take away wins where you just get the Scratchcard cost back (like £5 win on £5 card), it drops to one in 20." It's estimated that the chances of winning on a £5 Scratchcard are roughly one in four, which includes cards that simply earn back their purchase price. The odds can vary across different games, and for those curious about the specifics, details are usually found on the reverse of each Scratchcard. In line with responsible gambling measures, the National Lottery website states that there is now a cap on buying Scratchcards, with a maximum of 10 allowed per transaction at any outlet offering National Lottery games.
