Spanish anger over TV star Ana Obregón’s surrogate baby the US
Ana Obregón, a Spanish television actress, has drawn criticism for disclosing that at the age of 68, she gave birth to a girl in the US through a surrogate. Obregón is well recognised for her roles as the lead in several Spanish sitcoms. She had previously discussed her efforts to move on with her life when her son, who was also her sole child, died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 27. All kinds of surrogacy are prohibited in Spain, however parents who return to the country can adopt the child. Following the passing of her son, Obregón, who also lost both of her parents, was depicted on the cover of the Hola! Magazine earlier this week holding a new born outside a Miami hospital. Her remarks ignited debate on Spanish social media, and ministers in Spain’s left-wing government were incensed at the move.
