Shane Burcaw and Hannah Aylward, the interabled couple behind the YouTube channel “Squirmy and Grubs,” are breaking stereotypes about relationships and disabilities.
Their channel gives viewers a look into their everyday life, their shared interests, and even their journey toward parenthood. The couple has often faced questions and misconceptions about their relationship, but their bond remains strong. Recently, they shared their plans to have a baby soon.
For seven years, Shane and Hannah have been in a happy relationship. Together, they’ve experienced many adventures, from traveling to new places to sharing their personal moments on YouTube.
Their YouTube channel quickly gained attention, thanks to their honest and lighthearted content. Fans enjoy their relatable moments and cheesy romantic gestures. Shane and Hannah are grateful to have inspired people to embrace happiness in their own lives.
Despite their success, the couple has dealt with harsh criticism and internet trolls. Shane has spinal muscular atrophy and has used a wheelchair since he was two. He hasn’t let his disability define him and advocates for greater disability awareness.
The couple met online and fell in love. They tied the knot in September 2020 but faced backlash from people who don’t understand their “interabled” relationship.
Even with negativity, Shane and Hannah continue to share their story. They aim to educate others about interabled relationships, encouraging more acceptance and understanding. Their courage inspires many who follow them.
Now, Shane and Hannah are taking steps toward becoming parents. The couple recently opened up about using in vitro fertilization (IVF) after two years of trying to conceive naturally.
Shane explained his feelings about IVF with a humorous comparison. “It’s like having a big exam tomorrow that you didn’t study for. You know there’s no way to prepare in one night to feel ready.”
Shane and Hannah’s openness about their journey continues to spread awareness and positivity. Their story encourages others to look beyond differences and embrace love in all forms.
