And now that her firstborn has reached puberty, strangers often think he's her boyfriend.
Taking to social media, Chloe revealed that things can sometimes get awkward when the mother and son go out for dinner.
Sharing a clip of her son scrolling through his phone whilst at a restaurant, Chloe said: "I had my son at 15 so now it looks like my chavvy boyfriend is ignoring me while we have dinner while he skives school."
The young mum added that the fact that her teen has already started to grow a moustache, doesn't help matters.
The duo even have matching jackets, which Chloe said adds to the confusion about them being a couple.
Chloe's (chlo_lostomybag4lyf) video has likely left many people open-mouthed, as it has racked up over 454,000 views on the video sharing platform.
One person said: "I'm 35 with an 18 year old.
"We get some really funny looks when we go anywhere together."
A second person said: "I had my daughter at 16 and everyone either assumes we're friends or sisters!"
I'm trolled for raising my 8-month-old in 'squalor' after I showed off the state of my room… but his cot's squeaky clean
A third person said: "I took my youngest to A&E and the nurse asked my eldest if he was the dad!"
And Chloe isn't the only one who's had stranger's make this kind of mistake.
Lauren Evens was recently trolled online by people who mistook her wife for a 10-year-old boy.
The new wife shared pictures of herself and wife Hannah at their wedding ceremony, and did not get the reaction she expected.
