A woman was left shocked after her hunky boyfriend confessed he was actually born a GIRL. With his chiselled jawline and bulging biceps, Charlotte Urie, 20, had no clue that her handsome new beau, Kieran Moloney was born a female called Ciara. For years the 23-year-old kept his sex-swap a secret, until he met Charlotte in 2012. Now the couple, who have been together for two years, are hoping to marry and start a family using Kieran’s best friend as a sperm donor. Charlotte, a barista from Camden, London, says: “I would never have guessed Kieran’s secret, but as soon as he told me he’d been born a girl it didn’t matter to me. I was surprised, but I love him for who he is and see him as a man.
