In 2023, Spanish actress Ana Obregón, 70, made headlines after having a baby via surrogate using her late son Aless Lequio’s preserved sperm. Aless died of cancer at 27 in 2020 but had wanted to be a father. Ana fulfilled his wish by welcoming baby Anita in the U.S., clarifying the child is her granddaughter, not daughter. Though surrogacy is illegal in Spain, Ana adopted Anita and is now raising her, saying the little girl has brought joy and purpose back into her life after years of grief.
