Ana Obregón has come clean in an exclusive interview
After much speculation and debate, the mystery is solved. Hola magazine publishes the most awaited interview of Ana Obregón after becoming a surrogate mother of a girl whose name we finally know, Ana Sandra.
The child born from surrogacy is her granddaughter
Happy and smiling with her daughter in her arms, Ana Obregón stars on the new cover of the magazine in which she also confesses that the girl is her granddaughter, daughter of Aless Lequio, the late son of the presenter.
The presenter reports that it is the last will her son had
«The first thing you need to know is that this little girl is not my daughter, but my granddaughter. She is Aless’ daughter and when she grows up I will tell her that her father was a hero, so she knows who he is and how proud she has to be of him» Ana explains in the interview.
Aless Lequio told his parents
«What people don’t know is that this was Aless’ last wish: to bring a child into the world. And that’s what he told his father and me a week before he passed away,» he adds.
Now, the presenter is happy
After some very complicated years in which she has had to face the death of her son and her parents, which is a trauma for the presenter, Ana is smiling again.
The truth was known to a small group of people
After many opinions about which people knew Ana’s intention, finally the secret so well kept during all this time is revealed: «Only Alessandro and my sisters, Celia and Amalia, who are tombs. It has been three years and the process has not been easy. Doctors, lawyers and agencies are involved.
Ana Obregón has been traumatized by the loss of her loved ones.
Acknowledging that it has been a very complicated path, the presenter explains: «Pregnancy did not happen at the first attempt, far from it; there have been several times and every time I didn’t get pregnant I was terribly upset and had to start all over again. It has been a battle, a long road, but it is what has kept me alive. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t be here. Devastating words, but they reveal how fragile the presenter’s mental health has been.
Unaware of the criticism she has received
Despite the controversy and criticism she has received, such as the fact that she made this decision at the age of 68, Ana is very sure of her actions.
The baby girl was born almost on her birthday
This baby wanted to be born. She was three weeks early and weighed three and a half kilos. She wanted to come already and, from heaven, her daddy already wanted her to be here with me and to change my tears of sadness and horror for these tears of joy. Yes, my birthday is March 18 and she was supposed to come into the world on the 31st, but she came early and she is almost my birthday present», said the presenter.
He does not rule out doing it again
As if that were not enough, Ana does not rule out becoming a mother again in the future: «Man, I would have liked to have a boy too, but who knows? My son wanted to have five children, so maybe a boy will come along someday».
The only thing she has left of her son
«For now she doesn’t look like anyone else, because she has just been born. But what I feel when I hug her is like hugging my son, because deep down I am hugging my son. It’s the only thing I have left alive of him.»
Surrogacy is not legal in Spain
Let us remember that in Spain surrogacy is not legal and is considered a form of violence against women. However, the Spanish law does not establish additional obstacles to register children conceived abroad, therefore, many Spanish citizens with the economic capacity to overcome these barriers, take advantage of this legal loophole.
