Coach you can’t make this up..

Spanish actress and television presenter Ana Obregón made international headlines in 2023 after revealing that she had a baby through surrogacy using the frozen $perm of her late son, Aless Lequio. Aless passed away of cancer in 2020 at the age of 27. Before his demise, he had preserved his $perm as part of his medical treatment. According to Obregón, fulfilling his wish to have a child became a way for her to cope with her grief.

The baby girl, named Ana Sandra, was born in the United States through a surrogate, as surrogacy is illegal in Spain. Biologically, the child is Aless’s daughter, making her Obregón’s granddaughter. However, legally, Obregón is registered as the child’s mother. She has publicly acknowledged this unique situation, explaining that while she is legally the mother, she considers the child her granddaughter by blood. The story sparked widespread debate in Spain about ethics, surrogacy laws, and reproductive rights.
