It can be said that 2023 was a year full of emotions for Ana Obregon. The presenter once again became the center of national attention in March after surprising us leaving a Miami hospital in a wheelchair with a baby in her arms. She was her daughter, brought into the world through surrogacy thanks to a surrogate mother that the actress paid for this purpose. Shortly after, Ana Obregón herself said that this creature is actually her granddaughter, because, according to her, she had been conceived from the sperm of her son Aless, who died in May 2020, which was used to fertilize a donor's egg. anonymous.
Except for the testimony of the biologist, there is no proof that, in fact, Ana Lequio Obregón is the biological granddaughter of the actress. This website announced for the first time that, according to a registry document deposited in Miami, “Lequio” had been entered as a first name and not as a last name. This was confirmed days later on the program Fiestawhich had access to the same certificate.
Ana Obregón justified her unusual decision to be a legal mother and, according to her, a grandmother, at the age of 68, because, according to the version held by the presenter, she is following the wishes that her son made before dying on May 13. of 2020.
Alex Lequio, According to her mother, she wanted to write the book she had started, which Ana finished and titled The boy with the shrews. He also told his mother that he wanted to be a father after he died, according to her, and he also wanted a foundation to be created, which bears his name. Neither the father of the deceased, Alessandro Lequio, nor Carolina Monje, Aless's former girlfriend, The other two people who spent time with the young man before leaving this world have confirmed to date that one of Aless's wishes was to be a father after he died. What's more, the young woman, who got married this year, was the custodian of the samples and he renounced them before a notary, so they should have been destroyed, according to the sources consulted.
Ana Obregón presented to the press the Aless Lequio Foundation eleven months ago now, before it came to light that she was expecting a baby through surrogacy, as we would find out seven weeks later. At the beginning of February 2023, Obregón appeared publicly and said that the Foundation's objective was to finance cancer research, focused especially on cancer that affects children and young people.
The protagonist of Ana and the 7 She arrived at the Santo Mauro Hotel in Madrid at 6:00 p.m. like a Hollywood star and said that for her it was the most important press conference of her life and expressed her happiness for being there despite having had to face death. of the three fundamental pillars of his life: his parents and above all the tragedy of losing his son. She chose a black dress with a white rose on her chest as a sign of mourning, and she posed as the protagonists of big occasions do in front of the cameras.
Alessandro Lequio was not there
Alessandro Lequio was not there, despite being the vice president of the foundation. It was said that he had tested positive for coronavirus and that therefore it was not possible for him to be present. Months later, after knowing the bomb that arrived in the form of a baby, we were able to verify the distance of the Italian aristocrat from the mother of his child; even making statements that, despite his silence, made it more than clear that the Italian did not want to get involved in the colossal media exhibition that was coming.
Ana Obregón explained the important donation that the foundation named after her son had made with the aim of financing research into a disease that claims thousands of lives a year. She also insisted on how important this project was for Álex: “My son's biggest dream was to help others,” he said.
Who contributes to the Aless Lequio Foundation?
But the greatest contribution to the Foundation came through a friend of Alessandro Lequio, as confirmed by the Italian. That amount was four million euros, including an office in the center of Madrid, which has a great value, and is the headquarters of the foundation. In addition, other smaller amounts have been contributed that are used to finance projects such as those described in the objectives, that is, research to fight cancer. “But we are not aware that funds from Ana Obregón have reached the Foundation in 2023,” a source familiar with the accounts tells us. The actress always said that she would use the profits from the book The Shrew Boy to the foundation, as well as exclusives sold to magazines. The actress has also participated this year in programs on different television networks.
Fund childhood and young people's cancer that is Ewing's sarcoma
“There are many wonderful foundations in Spain, but in this one we want to finance childhood and young people's cancer, which is Ewing's sarcoma, which is a terrible and very aggressive cancer and there is very little funding,” he added. “I have no words to express how nice it is to work for others, and I hope that we do our bit so that no family goes through what we have gone through,” he declared. “The only thing that has kept me here is continuing my son's legacy with the foundation and with the book I am finishing,” he added. She was lying: there were only three weeks left to become a mother through surrogacy. That, as she later rectified, was also presumably what kept her going. That secret that she hid could have had to do with the fact that she couldn't hold back her tears. But she didn't say a word until Hello took several exclusives to her covers; They say very well paid.
Indeed, on March 20 we saw that Ana Obregón received with open arms little Ana, who later turned out to be, always according to the biologist, Aless's biological daughter. Needless to say, the news of the girl's arrival generated a lot of controversy at the time, since it was done through surrogacy in the United States and few were aware of it. At 68 years old, Obregón became a mother and presumably a grandmother, through the frozen sperm of her son before she died. Or so she says.
All those paid exclusives and the benefits of the book Esquito by Ana Obregón and her son were destined for the Aless Lequio Foundation, according to the presenter. But this digital has had access to documentation according to which in the 2023 financial year these amounts have not been contributed from either the exclusives or the book, despite being “very well paid” poses and interviews, they tell us; and that the book was a best-seller and launched several editions.
Many exclusives not cheap
Since Ana Obregón left the hospital in Miami in a wheelchair and it came to light that she had been a mother through surrogacy in the United States, the news made headlines and in the Spanish media. The news even transcended our borders. A week after dropping the bomb on the cover of Hola, Ana presented her granddaughter Ana Sandra Lequio Obregón in an interview with the same magazine: “This was Aless's last wish, to bring her child into the world,” said. In the interview she maintained that the little girl was the daughter of Aless, who died of cancer in 2020.
Ana Obregón admitted that carrying out the unusual process that legally made her a mother allowed her to “continue living every day.” The biologist explained the hard moments that she had experienced and recognized that if it were not her because she had been the grandmother of a child born from the sperm of her son, “she would no longer be here,” she reiterated. “Before I knew that Anita was coming into the world, I thought: 'Well, what can happen to me, if the best thing that can happen to me is that I die…' I mean, I was wishing, you know? I don't know. how to explain to you what my life has been. But now it's going to be the opposite. I've lived again,” he confessed.
“I made the decision the day my child went to heaven”
“The decision to begin the surrogacy process, which involves, as you know, the participation of an egg donor and a surrogate, was made the day my child went to heaven,” she said then. Afterwards, she spent a few months in Miami with her granddaughter, continuing to showcase her on covers and on social media to the point of sickness. Once the legal procedures were completed she returned to Spain.
Ana Obregón herself gave her version to explain how it had been possible for her to be the grandmother of her son's granddaughter three years after her death. “Aless saved her sperm before starting chemotherapy. The doctors recommended it. These samples were kept in New York,” said. Later, several sources assured us that in reality the samples were in Spain and were transferred to the United States because in our country the law prevented him from doing what he did.
In Alessandro Lequio and Carolina Monje have never corroborated Ana Obregón's words: “That day we were in the hospital; Aless was already very ill and he told us that, if something happened to him, he wanted us to know that he wanted to leave children in this life,” said the actress. “This is called a holographic will, and it occurs when a person, in front of two witnesses, expresses his last wishes, although, due to the circumstances, the notary cannot be present at that moment,” she explained.
Weeks before selling the exclusive in which she assured that she had an immense desire to live again, Ana Obregón assured in a tweet that she wanted to “go to heaven as soon as possible with her parents and her son.”
From Informalia we announced for the first time that Ana Obregón's daughter was registered with the name Ana Lequio, Both terms being names, and with the only surname being Obregón. In the document that they later confirmed from the Telecinco Fiesta program, The theory that Ana Obregón was the little girl's grandmother was questioned, at least from a legal point of view. And from a genetic point of view, there has also been no evidence that, in fact, the surrogate mother who brought the child into the world in exchange for money, was the carrier of an egg fertilized from the semen of Aless Lequio. Only the testimony of Ana Obregón supports that theory. And we are talking about a woman whom her father called Antoñita the Fantastic and that, not long ago, he stated in public and very seriously that Her son called her on her cell phone after he died.
On the day of the little girl's baptism, just a few weeks ago, the souvenir cups said Ana Lequio Obregón (nothing about Sandra). Only one surname appeared, Obregón, and the name of the person she adopted: Ana Victoria García Obregón, that is, Ana. The little girl's compound name is Ana Lequio. This was stated in the document prior to the registration of the minor and prior to the interview in which she said that her name was Ana Sandra.
