Pablo Escobar’s daughter, Manuela Escobar, has lived a life away from the public eye since her father’s death.
Manuela Escobar was the only daughter of the notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. After her father’s death in 1993, her family sought refuge in various countries, eventually finding asylum in Argentina. Manuela has maintained a very low profile throughout her life, changing her name and living under the radar to avoid the notoriety associated with her father’s criminal legacy.
Born on May 25, 1984, Manuela was the apple of her father’s eye, and Escobar reportedly doted on her. During the height of Escobar’s power as the head of the Medellín Cartel, Manuela lived a life of luxury. However, this changed abruptly after her father’s death. The family’s wealth was largely seized or lost, and they were forced into hiding.
Manuela’s mother, Maria Victoria Henao (who later changed her name to Maria Isabel Santos Caballero), and her brother, Juan Pablo (who changed his name to Sebastian Marroquín), have been more public about their lives post-Escobar. They have given interviews and participated in documentaries, providing insights into their experiences and the impact of Escobar’s legacy on their lives.
Despite the public appearances of other family members, Manuela has chosen to remain out of the spotlight. She has reportedly suffered from depression and the psychological impact of her father’s life and death. There have been unconfirmed reports of her living in various countries, including Argentina and the United States, but she has made a concerted effort to keep her life private, and as such, there is limited verified information about her current whereabouts or activities.
The desire for a normal life away from the shadow of her father’s infamy has driven Manuela to avoid media attention. Her choice to live quietly is respected by those who know the family’s history, and she remains one of the lesser-known figures in the story of Pablo Escobar’s family.
