El Chapo's wife reveals she isn't really his wife

The woman said she and the drug lord were married “under the law of the divine”

The wife of Mexican drug lord El Chapo is reportedly not legally his wife at all.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, a teen beauty queen and the infamous kingpin's second wife, revealed in a new book that she is not legally married to the man.

"Emma and the Other Narco Women," which will be released on 25 January, reveals that El Chapo, real name Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, is still legally wed to his first wife, a social worker he married in 1977.

. . .

She was not the man's only romantic interest; he has fathered nine children with different mothers, all who were older than Ms Aispuro and reportedly did not associate with her.

Not even the best telenovela could match this.

Jurors and a tense courtroom of rapt observers were glued to the proceedings Thursday as Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, his wife seated in the gallery just behind him, saw one of his mistresses take the stand to testify against him.

Wife Emma Coronel Aispuro cackled in laughter as Chapo’s sidepiece, Lucero Guadalupe Sanchez Lopez — a politician in Guzman’s home state of Sinaloa until her arrest — wept so much that she had to be taken out of the Brooklyn federal courtroom.

Coronel’s glee was only exacerbated when Sanchez’s lapel mic remained on even after she was removed for a break — her sobs still being broadcast throughout the courtroom after she left.

Chapo and his beauty queen wife, who often blow each other kisses in court, were both tense and avoided eye contact as Sanchez began discussing her affair with the cocaine kingpin.
