“Such a great blessing from heaven…”

Vox leader Santiago Abascal (48) announced this Sunday the birth of his fifth childnamed Hernán. In his account in X, Abascal indicated that the child and the mother are “healthy and happy”; the brothers, “excited” at the arrival of the fifth child of the house; and the father, “proud and grateful for such a great blessing from heaven.”

This is the third child from Abascal’s second marriage, married to Lidia Bedman (39) since 2018Although this is Bedman’s first marriage, Abascal married former politician Ana Belén Sánchez in 2002 and separated in 2010. From his first marriage, Abascal had two children, Adriana and Jaime. Now, the little ones welcome another member into the family.

It was during the Epiphany that we learned that Santiago Abascal and Lidia Bedman were expecting their third child together, and last June when the influencer announced the name and sex of the little one.

It was with a video of the baby shower that her friends had organised for her, and that she announced to her more than 240,000 followers on Instagram that the baby was going to be a boy called Hernán. “Baby Hernán” was written on a white balloon that they used for the party. “The baby already has a name. Hernán. Tomorrow I’ll show you the surprise my friends gave me. “They threw me a baby shower for Hernan. I’m still excited,” Bedman wrote in the final stretch of her pregnancy.

The curious story behind the baby’s name

The parents of little Jimena and Santiago did not explain the reason why they chose this name for the baby, Although it must be remembered that Abascal feels great admiration for Hernán Cortéswho led the conquest of the Aztec Empire, known as the conquest of Mexico-Tenochtitlan.

The leader of the Green Party has posed like Hernán Cortés on his social networks. He did so to respond to a tweet from Pablo Casado, former leader of the PP. The image then went viral. “Like Hernán Cortés”wrote some users on Bedman’s Instagram profile. “Success is only achieved with sacrifice and effort,” they also sent to the influencer, referring to Cortés’ famous quote.
