On their account, the 19-year-old daughter asked fans to guess her mum’s age, but revealed that it ended in a two.
Fans were quick to theorise if she was aged 32 or 42, with many saying she looks like she could be in her early thirties due to her age-defying appearance.
While some even said she looks 22, one said: “32, she look good for her age.”
Another added: “yes people it could be 32.”

However, one pointed out: “how can it be 32? she gave birth at 13 since you are 19? this is impossible!”
Many concluded that the mum must be aged 42 based on her appearance, but the TikToker didn’t give away the correct answer at the time.
Thankfully she did share a video later which shared “life at 42 without make-up” revealing she is in her 40s.
Many people were impressed, with one saying: “Natural beauty!”

While ageing is a privilege and natural part of life, who doesn't want to look a little younger?
If you don’t fancy going under the knife in an attempt to roll back the years, there are plenty of other simple hacks that can help you to look younger, without the expense and post-surgery recovery.
Stress, UV rays, booze and sugary foods as well as just general ageing can all contribute to fine lines, puffy eyes and wrinkles.
So it's a good idea to start there, by cutting down on excess amounts of alcohol and sugar, reducing stress and always wearing SPF 30 or higher.
Skin tips
There’s no doubt that skincare can be very worthwhile in anti-ageing your skin.
Show your skin plenty of love by exfoliating at least twice a week.
, Mr Mark Solomos, explains that dull, blocked pores instantly age you.
He says: “Moisturise frequently and ideally use an oil which sinks into the skin much deeper.
“Dry skin is a telltale sign of ageing whereas keeping skin looking hydrated gives the appearance of youthfulness.”
You’ll find all sorts of eye de-puffing cosmetics on the market.
But a cheaper tool could be in your kitchen cupboards.
Before you go throwing your teabags away, let them cool and use them as a look-younger tool instead.

Dr Perry says: “Lie back and place cold tea bags under the eyes for five minutes to lessen eye bags and puffiness.
"The results are temporary but will instantly make eyes look more youthful.”
The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
