Penelope Cruz’s sister Monica pregnant by anonymous sperm donor

Penelope Cruz’s beautiful younger sister Monica turned to an anonymous sperm donor to get pregnant.

The 35-year-old lingerie model shared the happy news on her blog for the Spanish publication El País: “I am going to be a mother! I have managed to fulfill the dream of a lifetime.”

She added, “I want to share with all of you this special journey and to be able to tell you about all my experiences during this fascinating time.”

Monica admitted she was worried that she wouldn’t find the perfect man in time to start a family, so sought help through artificial insemination.

“[I want to] show my thanks to all those anonymous men that help to give many women like me, the dream of their lives.”

A celebrity in her native Spain, the brunette decided to announce her pregnancy before the flood of inevitable questions she would get about the identity of the father. “’I wanted to avoid, above all, that they spoke about possible fathers or the possible candidates to be it.”

Monica initially felt uneasy about hiding her method to get pregnant but is now happy to help make the topic less taboo for other women. “If with this I can help others who have doubts, then here you have me if you need me.”
