The woman who was a partner of the drug trafficker for just over two decades referred again to her deceased husband in an interview with Semana, in December 2020, and indicated that it was thanks to her therapists that, finally, acknowledged that the drug trafficker was “a psychopath”, but she had idealized him in another way, to the point that he explained why he never reported it: “A man who had Colombia paralyzed with his violence, today, looking, 27 years later, I don’t want to imagine myself denouncing Pablo Escobar.”
“With my therapists I discovered many traumatic situations that I experienced. I discovered a situation that hurts me a lot, even repeating the word that the professionals showed me, that I was living with a psychopath. Psychopaths are very seductive with their family, with the people they want to have there all the time. So, he was very seductive. I always idealized Pablo; that’s why I had my children from love, “said the widow in the middle.

In her statements in the magazine, where she also recounted the only activity in which the capo’s ghost does not pursue her, Victoria Eugenia Henao also stated that in her years with Pablo Escobar she was a victim of gender violence, but she was so blinded at that time that, Until now, in recent times and in the middle of the process that he has gone through to overcome his past and that has cost him “years of tears and pain”, he has realized that.
“I did not know that I had experienced so much gender violence”Said the widow of the head of the Medellín cartel in the middle and, in part, she also blamed the macho culture in which she grew up.
The ‘love’ story of Pablo Escobar and Victoria Eugenia Henao
‘Tata’, as many know the narco’s wife, recounted the details in his book ‘My life and my prison with Pablo Escobar’. There he noted that It all started in 1972, when he saw him go by on a motorcycle down a street in the La Paz neighborhood of Envigado (see map), but he was not interested in it.
However, as they both lived there, they crossed paths again and the boss began to be interested in her, to the point that he ended up asking a mutual friend for help, that the first thing that made him realize was that Victoria Eugenia Henao’s family was not going to accept that love and less because of the age difference; he was 11 years old, the text reads.
That did not matter to Pablo Escobar who, according to the aforementioned story, ended up conquering the heart of ‘Tata’ and they started an unofficial relationship in hiding until some relatives of her sister discovered them and the then 12-year-old girl was prohibited from going out.
Thus arrived 1973 and the narco, taking advantage of his friendship with a brother of ‘Tata’, ended up becoming her official boyfriend, more exactly the holiday of the first of May of that year. But that formalization of the courtship did not facilitate their romance, because Victoria Eugenia Henao’s mother put strict rules on them, and everything got worse in 1974 when the drug trafficker was arrested, because he was driving a stolen car, the woman recalled in her letter, in which also contains details of who got Pablo Escobar’s fortune.
Afterwards, the book reads, the criminal was released because the evidence against him disappeared and, two years later, as the troubles with his mother-in-law continue, he ended up proposing to his girlfriend that they run away and get married. So it happened in March 1976; their wedding was in Palmira, Valle, and only had the presence of ‘Tata’s grandmother and a few more close associates of her, since there was no one from the Escobar family.
Two children remained from that marriage, Juan Pablo Escobar (or Sebastián Marroquín, who had a drastic physical change), who was born on February 24, 1977, and Manuela Escobar (or Juana Manuela Marroquín), who came to the world on May 25, 1984. There was another baby, that she was not born, because, according to ‘Tata’, her husband made her abort without her knowing, at the age of 14.
Life next to Escobar “was not exactly a rose garden,” as many believe, said Victoria Eugenia Henao in her text, where she even related several of the many uncomfortable episodes that happened because he was a “macho”, “jealous” and “hummingbird”. Moreover, on the latter, he even devoted an entire chapter to talking about his women, including a ‘stratum 5’ lover who had a tragic end and to whom, it is said, the boss also aborted a child they were expecting together.
Additional, the widow narrated many of the occasions in which they had to escape, hide and be the targets of attacksAmong others, that of the Monaco building (here the details of what this ‘penthouse’ was like inside, which Pablo Escobar spent more than an hour going through on his first ‘tour’), for the criminal life that her husband chose.
Despite all that ordeal that he related, In various parts of the book he also acknowledged having loved the father of his children and, on her Instagram account, the widow usually uploads several photos of his life next to one of the criminals who has caused the most damage to Colombia.
