Telecinco continues to update its coverage on Ana Obregón’s motherhood, following the attention around her journey and the broader discussion about surrogacy. After a period of silence this week, the show returned to the topic to remind viewers of the events involved. In the past, the actress and presenter has spoken about the reproductive option she pursued to become a mother. At sixty-eight years old, the conversation remains topical for many families exploring their options for parenthood.

The program hosted by Joaquín Prat has sharpened its focus and included remarks from a collaborator who weighed in on the issue in 2011 and again in 2017. Those were the years when notable figures such as Miguel Bosé or Cristiano Ronaldo were publicly associated with surrogacy as a path to parenthood, a practice that is illegal in Spain. The dialogue at that time reflected strong opinions about the subject and its social and legal implications.

During those discussions, Lecquio did not hide his critical stance on surrogacy. He argued that the emphasis of the conversation often centered on the pregnant woman, and he expressed clear moral judgments. He said he saw hypocrisy in the reactions of people who celebrated surrogacy yet were scandalized by a mother who might be paid for her role. He asserted that two things were, in his view, the same: giving up a child for money and the act of selling a baby. He characterized a surrogate as nothing more than an incubator who sells her children, a claim he made in 2011 while commenting on Miguel Bosé’s family news.

He went further to describe the process as not a normal path to parenthood. He separated the issue from the idea of buyers and sellers and emphasized his belief that there is no natural bond between a pregnant woman and the baby conceived through that method. This was his stance during the public conversations of that era, reflecting a strict interpretation of traditional family models.

At that moment, in contrast to the earlier sentiment, Alessandro Lecquio chose not to comment further on Ana Obregón’s pregnancy onAR and urged his colleagues to show restraint. He stated that he had shared his views on surrogacy on several occasions and that his thoughts had been expressed before, but he felt today was not the right time to revisit the topic to avoid misinterpretation. His reluctance to weigh in further was presented as a call for respect among colleagues, underlining a broader media dynamic around sensitive topics and public figures.
