In 1976 Pablo Escobar married María Victoria Henao. At the time he was 26 years old, and she was 15. The couple later had two children, Juan Pablo Escobar and Manuela Escobar. After Pablo Escobar’s death in 1993, the family moved to Argentina. Juan Pablo took the name Sebastián Marroquín and became an author and architect. He later published several books, including Pablo Escobar, My Father (2014), and these works were the basis for the TV miniseries Dear Killer Nannies (2026); the title refers to the cartel’s hitmen who served as “nannies” to Juan Pablo and his sister. María Victoria Henao (later called María Isabel Santos Caballero) maintained a low profile, though she also wrote a memoir, My Life and Prison with Pablo Escobar (2018). Little is known about Manuela Escobar.
