Henao married Escobar on March 29, 1976. She met the Cocaine King at the age of 13. They fell in love and dated for some years before getting married. Despite the age gap, they started dating and decided to get married.
Henao’s elder brother had worked with Escobar in small-scale enterprises for a long time. Despite this, her family disproved the relationship, as Escobar was socially inferior to them.
But the couple did not care, and finally got married. She was at the age of 15, whereas Escobar was 26 years old at that time. They had a romantic relationship and there was no sign of divorce between them.
Henao gave birth to a son named Juan Pablo (now Sebastian Marroquin) in 1977, and a daughter named Manuela Escobar Henao in 1984.
Despite his dissipation, Henao remained faithful to her relationship and never left him. Journalist Virginia Vallejo published the memoir named Amando a Pablo, odiando an Escobar (Loving Pablo, Hating Escobar) in September 2007, in which she describes having a romantic relationship with Escobar.
Escobar created or bought numerous residences and safe houses, with the Hacienda Nápoles gaining significant notoriety after becoming wealthy. He also owned a house in the U.S. under his name. Henao now resides with her children in Argentina.

Her son, Juan Pablo changed his name to Sebastian Marroquin and is currently working as an architect, designer, and lecturer.
