Diego Armando Maradona will be remembered as one of football’s all-time greats. His passing in 2020 only amplified his legend, and clips of his most famous goals continue to be widely viewed. In Argentina, his status is iconic, and his personal life has long been a subject of public fascination.
Maradona fathered five well-known children with four different women, though some sources have speculated that the number could be higher. In the whirlwind of his fame, rumors and stories about his private life circulated just as rapidly as his on-field triumphs.
Recently, a well-known Spanish entertainment program suggested that Maradona might have had a romantic connection with a prominent television presenter from our country. The claim implied that this could become a sensational headline across magazines worldwide if it proved true. The woman named was Ana Obregón, a familiar face in Spanish media.
The program presented a phone conversation in which Omar Suárez, a close friend of Maradona, commented on the potential romance. He remarked that the alleged partner possessed remarkable beauty and grace, and that Maradona might have felt a strong attraction. The friend suggested the relationship could have been quite meaningful to him, highlighting the allure of the woman described as blonde and elegant.
Pipi Estrada confirmed this
The program’s revelations did not end there. Sports broadcaster Pipi Estrada backed up the romance, noting that Maradona often mentioned Ana as a fantasy in his thoughts. The era of his arrival in Spain was painted with stories of meetings with celebrities, with Ana Obregón and two others named as part of the chatter surrounding Maradona during his visits.

The narrative moves on. Ana travels to Barcelona and finds herself at the center of a whirlwind of anecdotes. In one tale, Núñez is said to have given Maradona a Porsche to test drive, an episode that ended with the football icon in a minor mishap but still carried the charm of a high-profile encounter. The centerpiece remains the suggestion that desire and fantasy were part of the public story surrounding Maradona, adding color to the saga of his life in the spotlight.
The program also referenced an old email from 2009 in which an unnamed sender claimed to have seen Maradona and Obregón leaving a Barcelona nightclub and leaving together in a car. The claim fed into the long-running narrative of celebrity romance that captivates audiences around the world.
