3. Children out of wedlock, no. The Wendy Chavarriaga case
According to “Popeye”, Escobar respected “La Tata”, his wife. She was the mother of his children and “he would not leave her.”
Escobar didn’t want children outside of that union and whoever became his lover should understand that.

“That baby could not be born because Pablo Escobar forced his lover to have an abortion when she was 5 months pregnant,” reports various media.
“La Tata” pointed out that she found out about that episode after watching an episode of the Escobar series, “El Patrón del Mal”
