'Nobody ever guesses my real age - they think I'm lying when I say I'm not 26'

There's nothing wrong with getting older, but some people are blessed with the ability to keep people guessing about their age as they seemingly defy the ageing process.

And one mum who knows exactly what it's like to have people think you're younger than you really are is Francia H. Peña, who, as reported by the Daily Star, recently left her TikTok followers stunned when she revealed the truth about her age.

The woman posted a video using a popular sound on the video-sharing app, which said: "This sound is for everyone who looks younger than their actual age, and people don't believe you when you tell them how old you are."

In the clip, which was shared to her @franciapena account, Francia posed for the camera while the sound was playing before finally revealing her age in a message on the screen - telling the world she's actually 46.

Commenters on the video, which has been viewed 675,000 times, were blown away by the mum's confession, as many thought she was still in her 20s.

One person said: "Honestly, why would a 26-year old tell us that she's 46?"

While another added: "You look around 27 to 30. You have good genes, and you probably have a good partner in your life and family."

And a third exclaimed: "Damn, you're truly blessed with beauty for that age. I would have never guessed that! Stay blessed."

Others begged Francia to tell them her "secret" to her youthful looks, while more joked that she must hold the key to the mythical "fountain of youth".

Francia is mum to a 26-year-old daughter, and the pair frequently post content together, where many people admit it looks as though Francia is her daughter's sister.

Someone said in one video: "Mum looks younger than the daughter."

"Two beautiful sisters", another added.
