A striking moment in entertainment history occurred recently when Ana Obregon, the former girlfriend of Premier League legend Davor Suker, was featured on the cover of Playboy at the age of 70. This bold move highlights her enduring appeal and defiance of age norms in the industry.
Obregon, a well-known TV presenter and journalist, previously dated Suker during his tenure with Real Madrid before he made a name for himself in the Premier League with clubs such as Arsenal and West Ham. Their relationship lasted for two years, and although it ended some time ago, the memories remain significant for both. Obregon has shared heartfelt tributes to Suker on social media, including a recent birthday post celebrating the Croatian footballer’s 58th birthday.
In a recent Instagram post, Obregon expressed her excitement about her feature in the magazine, stating, “It’s an honour for me to grace the first cover and back cover of the legendary Playboy magazine in Spain with the summer photoshoot.” She reflected on her privilege to share the cover with other iconic figures such as Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Moss, and Kim Basinger. Obregon emphasized that despite being among younger models, her experience and accomplishments matter.
The decision to feature Obregon was explained by Lourdes Marcos, the magazine’s commercial director. In an interview with Vanitatis, she noted, “She has been an erotic icon in Spain and has also been very successful professionally.” Marcos highlighted how Obregon’s role in the series “Ana y los siete” had a lasting impact, particularly in Latin American countries where it continues to air.
Marcos further stated, “She’s also a businesswoman, a producer, a television presenter for years, and very beautiful. So it was a no-brainer.” The magazine aimed to attract a broader audience with Obregon’s significant media appeal, aligning with their vision for the revamped Playboy brand.
Obregon’s life has been marked by both success and controversy. In 2023, she became a grandmother through surrogacy, welcoming a girl fathered by her late son who tragically passed away from cancer at the age of 27. The child was conceived using a donor’s ovum and sperm samples preserved by Obregon’s son prior to his treatment. She affectionately refers to the girl as her granddaughter, adding another layer of complexity and emotional depth to her life story.
As she continues to break barriers and redefine age-related norms in the entertainment industry, Obregon’s latest achievement serves as an inspiring reminder of resilience and the power of self-expression.
