Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has become even more popular after her husband was arrested in a drug bust Saturday.
A former beauty queen, Emma Coronel Aispuro was reportedly involved in the Saturday drug bust and was arrested along with her husband due to her connection to the ring.
However, this remains unconfirmed as there has been no official release of all the details surrounding Guzman's arrest, according to Inquisitr.
Emma Coronel Aispuro still finds herself in the middle of one of the biggest internationla drug busts in history even if she is proven to be innocent.
According to Inquistr, Emma Coronel Aispuro was only 18 years old when she and Guzman met and fell in love. Aispuro was one of the contestants in the Miss Coffee and Guava beauty contest where Guzman was hiding out for the day to escape cops.
Emma Coronel Aispuro, who was born in California and holds dual citizenship, is also related to Ignacio "Nacho" Coronel," a former partner of Guzman who died in a shootout with Mexican soldiers in July 2010.
Her dual citizenship as a Mexican and American has triggered speculation regarding her involvement in the Sinaloa cartel. American authorities have long since kept their eye on Guzman's family since he escaped from prison in 2001.
Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman Salazar, Guzman's daughter, was taken into police custody in 2010 after she tried to move across the border near Arizona.
Around 2011, Emma Coronel Aispuro came to the U.S. to give birth to Guzman's twin daughters though this remains unconfirmed since Aispuro left the father's name on their birth certificates blank. Authorities have however deduced that Guzman fathered the twin girls.
If it turns out that the woman arrested alongside Guzman was not his wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro's current whereabouts remain unknown to authorities.
