Actress who used her dead son’s sperm to have his daughter via surrogate when she was 68 gives major update on her granddaughter
Spanish actress Ana Obregón, who became a mother at 68 after welcoming a baby via surrogate with her dead son’s sperm, has opened up about raising the two-year-old.
The socialite, now 70, shocked the world when she welcomed a child in her late 60s.
Months later she revealed the baby, Anita Sandra, was actually her granddaughter and conceived using an egg donor
She said did it to fulfil the final wishes of her son Aless Lequio, who died of cancer in 2022. He had frozen his sperm two years prior.
In an announcement that stunned Spain and made international headlines, Ana told ¡Hola! Magazine: ‘The girl isn’t my daughter, she’s my granddaughter.’
Speaking to Spanish TV this weekend, Ana said her home is now ‘full of stuffed animals and toys’, adding: ‘I even have a little ball pool where she makes me dive in.’
She added that picking Anita up is becoming more difficult as she grows, as it hurts her back.
Speaking of her son Aless’ experience, she explained: ‘We live our whole lives saying that we are eternal and nothing happens here.
‘Suddenly, one day they tell you at 25 years old that you have an aggressive cancer,’.
Ana Obregón, 70, suffered the tragic loss of her son Aless Lecquio, pictured here with her in 2013, to a rare type of blood cancer in 2020
and late son’s frozen sperm.
