Emma Coronel, the last wife of the infamous drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, stated that when they were dating, he never came to her house.
In the new series “Married to El Chapo: Emma Coronel Speaks,” the model recounts what it was like to be in a relationship with the founder of the Sinaloa Cartel and one of Mexico’s biggest drug traffickers.
“Joaquín never came to my house. On weekends, I would go to the mountains with him,” Emma says in the documentary.
She points out that, because she could be one of the sources used to track Guzmán Loera’s location, she had to adapt to certain logistical measures to avoid being followed.
“I knew I was being tracked to find me or get information from me. When I went to the mountains to visit him, I had to leave all my phones at home, just in case they were monitoring them… The people in charge of transportation had their techniques.”
She described how sometimes she had to leave in one car, go into a store, leave through the back door, and get into a different car.
“Then we had to fly in small planes. He had many friends in Durango on different ranches. There are no airports, just small clandestine airstrips,” she explained.
The documentary details Emma Coronel’s experience as a wife to El Chapo Guzmán, one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the country.
Among the details she reveals are key moments in Joaquín Guzmán Loera’s life, such as his escape through a tunnel over a mile long in 2015.
“I never called him El Chapo, I called him ‘my love,'” Emma Coronel says in a clip from the documentary, revealing the nature of their relationship.
