New twist in the story of Ana Obregonthe Spanish actress turned mother at 68 years old thanks to surrogacy. In an exclusive magazine interview ¡Hola!the woman revealed that the baby born in Florida was conceived with the seed of her son Aless, who died at the age of 27 in 2020 following cancer. “She’s not my daughter, she’s my granddaughter. She’s Alex’s,” she said. To describe the most discussed case in recent days in Spain, the actress spoke of a “long journey”, dotted with “doctors, lawyers and agencies”, as a reason to “stay alive”.
It was just the tabloid
¡Hola! to give a few weeks ago the news of the birth of the baby, sparking an intense public debate on surrogacy, which is illegal in Spain. “Ana Obregon is the mother of a girl born by surrogacy in Miami,” read the headline on the cover, accompanied by a photo of the actress with her baby in her arms.
The new details In the latest interview, Obregon revealed the details of the case. Starting by stating that to conceive a child of his own was Aless’s “last will”. “I decided to start the surrogacy process, which involves the participation of an egg donor and a pregnant woman, on the very day he took to the sky,” he said. The boy, he added, had frozen samples of semen after being diagnosed with cancer.
Obregon also clarified how he intends to return with the child to Spain: “Legally she is my daughter, and so it is indicated in her passport. I will register her with the Spanish Consulate and so I can take her home”. According to him, the debate on surrogacy generated at home, with the center-left government openly against the practice as a possible form of exploitation of women in vulnerable situations, is “absurd”. “Here she is seen as a very normal thing,” observed the actress from Miami.
Legal issues for registration Now the greatest unknowns concern the possible complications that the woman could encounter in registering the child under Spanish legislation. According to the opinions of the experts most accredited by the media, probably the minor can only be registered by the actress as her own daughter, and it is unlikely that the biological father can appear as such. Meanwhile, the 68-year-old has announced that the story will be told in a book. “Everyone will understand that it was not a whim”, is her response to those who have criticized her in recent days.
