Mother and grandmother: Ana Obregón has confirmed that the child born to the surrogate mother is her granddaughter

Last week, Ana Obregón announced from Miami the birth of her daughter via surrogacy. At 68, the Spanish actress has received a lot of criticism in her country, where the practice is not permitted. Now, the controversy has broken out again: she Obregón has confirmed that she is actually a mother and a grandmother at the same time. The little girl was fertilized with the sperm of Obregón’s son, who died in 2020.

Ana introduced Ana Sandra, daughter of her late son Aless, through an exclusive interview for ¡Hola! magazine. In this, in addition to giving the young woman’s full name (Ana Sandra Lequio Obregón), she confirms that the baby was born on March 20 in a Miami hospital three weeks earlier than expected.

In the process, he leaves several very specific statements, confirming the girl’s father. According to an account for the magazine, “This girl is not my daughter but my niece. She is Alex’s daughter and when she grows up I will tell her that her father was a heroso that he knows who he is and how proud he should be of him”, being a subject much commented.

Therefore, he considers the girl not his daughter, but his granddaughter. She also talks about the surrogacy process and how she felt during this time. She explains that this was “Aless’ Last Will”, because she wanted to “bring her child into the world”.

He reportedly explained this to his parents a week before he died. As Obregón herself recounts, these were one of his last wills, although they were not executed before a notary. Despite this, he explains that there is a legal document and that it exists.

As for the reasons why her son’s sperm was still there, this being used in surrogacy, Ana comments the following: “When my son was diagnosed with cancer and was about to start chemotherapy treatment, doctors advised him to keep samples of his semen, in case drugs hit him in the future, to ensure he could have children. These samples have been stored in New York,” he told the Spanish magazine.

The actress also opened up about the commotion it caused and describes the debate as “absurd”. “This assisted reproductive technique has been practiced for many years and is legal in many countries of the world (not in Spain). Many couples who cannot have children or same-sex couples or for any reason use this technique. But what scandal is this now? “I go to the pediatrician and, seeing how old I am, they ask me: ‘Is she an adopted daughter? Is she a surrogacy? Well phenomenal. Blessings’. Because people are open here, but in Spain, my goodness, we are in the last century”.

“It was very difficult. The pregnancy didn’t happen on the first try, far from it; I’ve been several times and every time I didn’t come out I was terribly upset and started over. It’s been a battle, a long road, but it’s what kept me alive. It’s just that if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be here anymore.” Since the death of her son, Ana Obregón has lived in mourning, as she herself revealed in an interview with ICON magazine just a couple of weeks before Ana Sandra’s arrival into the world.

“I died on May 13, 2020 and was reborn on March 20, 2023, that’s right”, He said Hi!
