The Spanish actor says that the grandson is his grandson
The heated debate in Spain sparked by a 68-year-old celebrity who allegedly used a surrogate mother in Miami to give birth to a baby changed on Wednesday when the woman revealed to the socialite magazine ¡Hola! and the baby is the daughter of his son who died of cancer in 2020.
Actress and presenter Ana Obregón told ¡Hola! that doctors had encouraged her son Aless Lequio García to save a sperm sample before starting treatment and that he had expressed his desire shortly before he died to give birth. The samples were stored in New York, he said.
Abortion is prohibited in Spain, although children from such abortions may be registered in other countries. "That girl is not my daughter, but my granddaughter," Obregón told the magazine. "It was Aless' last wish to bring a child into the world."
The first news about the baby attracted the attention of the Spanish media and the country's politicians, receiving criticism from the leftist authorities. Many Spanish politicians and leading media refer to surrogacy as "womb lending".
Equality Minister Irene Montero, a left-wing United We Can partner, said pregnancy was a 'form of violence against women'. Social activists said the law should be changed to prevent Spaniards from using embassies from other countries.
But Defense Minister Margarita Robles on Wednesday refused to criticize Obregón, saying that while the law is clear in Spain, personal decisions should be respected. A conservative opposition group, the People's Party, has said it is open to debate on legalizing such abortions if unpaid.
At first, the fact that the case involved Obregón, 68, seemed to cause as much controversy as the case itself. Hey! said that the child was born on March 20 and conceived in June, when Obregón's son would have reached 30. Obregón, a biologist, is one of Spain's most famous people and has appeared in many television shows, including the "A-Team" episode. She is best known for her early summer photo shoot in a new bikini.
