Pablo Escobar’s son, Juan Pablo, changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín and became an architect and author. His daughter, Manuela, has kept a low profile.
After the death of Pablo Escobar in 1993, his family faced a multitude of challenges. Fearing for their lives, they sought asylum in various countries, ultimately finding refuge in Argentina. Juan Pablo Escobar, who was a teenager at the time of his father’s death, chose to adopt a new identity to escape the shadow of his father’s notorious legacy. He became Sebastián Marroquín and pursued a career in architecture. He has also written books and participated in documentaries to shed light on his experiences as Escobar’s son and to promote a message of peace and reconciliation.
Manuela Escobar, the younger child, has maintained a very private life in an effort to distance herself from her father’s criminal past. Little is known about her current whereabouts or activities, as she has deliberately stayed out of the public eye. The Escobar family’s struggle with their past has been a complex journey of seeking normalcy in the aftermath of Pablo Escobar’s infamous career and the violence that surrounded it.
