Spanish TV star Ana Obregón revealed the newborn she welcomed via surrogacy is definitely her granddaughter.
The 68-year-old actress told ¡Hola! magazine Wednesday that the newborn girl’s dad is her late son, Aless Lequio García, 27, who died from cancer in 2020.
“This girl isn’t my daughter, she’s my granddaughter,” she told the outlet of baby Ana Sandra. “This was Aless’ final wish, to bring a baby of his own into the world.”
Prior to her son’s death, Obregón said Aless was encouraged to preserve samples of his sperm before starting cancer treatment after wanting to be a father.
The samples were frozen and stored in Latest York, she said, as surrogacy of any kind is an illegal practice in Spain.
The actress said the newborn was conceived in June 2022 and born on March 20, 2023, in Miami.
The kid might be registered on the Spanish consulate within the US before the pair fly to Madrid.
Taking to Instagram, Obregón shared a photograph of her ¡Hola! magazine cover alongside a heartfelt message to her late son.
“My Aless, I swore I might prevent from cancer and I failed you. I promised you I’d bring your daughter into the world and here she is in my arms,” she said, in accordance with Instagram’s translation.
“I swear I’ll handle her with the infinite love I even have to provide and you may help me from heaven,” Obregón added. “You might be the love of my life in heaven and your daughter is the love of my life on earth.”
The child’s arrival was thrust right into a fierce debate last week after Obregón revealed she had welcomed the kid via surrogacy.
Although surrogacies of any kind are prohibited in Spain, many individuals resolve to go abroad and welcome children via the practice that way.
The socialite has over 60 acting credits and made an appearance within the hit show “The A-Team,”
“A lightweight stuffed with love got here into my darkness. I won’t ever be alone again,” she captioned the post. “I AM ALIVE AGAIN.”
