Meet Charli Worgan: A Mom of Three Breaking Stereotypes and Inspiring Thousands
Charli Worgan and her husband Cullen, who live in Sydney, Australia, both have different forms of dwarfism. But instead of being asked when they’d have kids, people often asked why—a question rooted more in judgment than curiosity.
Despite facing public scrutiny and serious medical risks, Charli and Cullen are now proud parents of three beautiful children.
Because of their genetic conditions, each pregnancy came with difficult possibilities. Their children could be born with one parent’s form of dwarfism, be of average height, or inherit both conditions—a combination doctors say is not compatible with life.
During her third pregnancy, Charli underwent painful CVS testing to better understand her baby’s condition. It was an emotional time, and she chose to share her journey openly on Instagram—where she now has over 300,000 followers.
Charli has faced criticism online for her decision to have children, but she’s been honest about the tough decisions she and Cullen had to make. Through it all, she advocates for empathy, respect, and kindness.
In early 2021, their son Rip was born healthy, joining his big sisters Tilba and Tully. Charli continues to share her life online, showing that parenthood—while sometimes challenging—is filled with the same love, chaos, and joy as any other family’s.
Her story is inspiring people around the world and reminding us all that every family deserves respect, support, and understanding.
