Speaking to Truly, the mum revealed that while her mum disapproved of her teen pregnancy, she went on to have four kids by the time she was 19.
She said: “Becoming a teen mum at 16 was definitely a shock.
“My mum was devastated when she found out.”
Her mum even featured in the video, adding that she was fearful her daughter wouldn’t be able to provide for her kids.
Sharnae, now 27, recalled what it was like finding out she was pregnant as a teen.
She said: “I was very overwhelmed. I’m still a child myself.
“Having my first child, I felt a lot of judgment from others. I felt embarrassed. I felt like I let my mum down.”
Despite her mum’s reaction, Sharnae went on to have three more children before turning 20 and now has seven children altogether.
She often shares her life on social media, but not everyone has been a fan.
“I get comments like ‘Maybe you should have kept your legs closed,’ ‘This is shameful that many kids at your age,’” she added.
Sharnae reveals she has three baby daddies, one with her first partner, four with her next and two with her current partner, Mario.
She says they started out as friends, but she soon fell for him and they have now been together since 2021.
“He would come to my house and bring nappies and he would just do things that I never asked and I instantly like fell in love with him for that,” she explained.
Now the pair are thinking of extending their family again now Sharnae has her mum’s blessing.
The clip went viral over on YouTube with over 22k views and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comments.
One person wrote: “I’ve got to say she’s done an amazing job with her kids.”
Another commented: “This is just way too many kids. Can’t imagine having even more.”
“You don’t have to give every man you get in a relationship with children,” penned a third.
