Who is Emma Coronel Aispuro?

Emma Coronel Aispuro, 30, is the wife of notorious drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. 

She was born near San Francisco, California, in 1989 and grew up in the remote village of La Angostura in the state of Durango, Mexico, with her father, Inés Coronel Barreras, who served as Guzman's deputy.  

Aispuro 18 years old when she met Guzman, then 50, at the Coffee and Guava Festival beauty pageant in the town of Canelas, Durango. Guzman reportedly proposed to her at that very event.      

In the summer of 2012, Aispuro traveled to Lancaster, California, to give birth to the couple's twin daughters. 

She had his name left off the birth certificate because the US government had put a $5million bounty on Guzman's head.  

Guzman was captured in 2015 and went to trial earlier this year, with Aispuro sitting in the courtroom for almost all of his hearings.

Aispuro certainly fits the bill, having been married to notorious Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman since 2007.  

As the 30-year-old looks to reinvent her image on the small screen, her husband and the father of their twin seven-year-old girls is serving life plus 30 years in a maximum security prison in Colorado known as 'the Alcatraz of the Rockies'. 

Aispuro will make 'several appearances' on Cartel Crew, VH1 said, opening up about her life after El Chapo and her 'upcoming business venture'.    

DailyMailTV got an inside look at Cartel Crew in an exclusive interview with Blanco set to air on Tuesday. 

Blanco starred in the first season of the show, which premiered in January. 

During a February episode, Blanco mourned the loss of his mother, Griselda, who was assassinated on September 3, 2012, in Medellin, Colombia.

Griselda, whose net worth was $2billion when she was killed, was known as La Madrina, the Black Widow, the Cocaine Godmother and the Queen of Narco-Trafficking.

She was a Colombian drug lord of the Medellín Cartel and helped pioneer the Miami-based cocaine drug trade in the 80s - paving the way for contemporaries, such as El Chapo.  

The co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, El Chapo was sentenced in July after being found guilty of a raft of crimes including conspiracy to commit murder.

Late last month, the kingpin's son, Ovidio Guzmán López, was detained outside his home in Culiacán by the Mexican government. 

Officials released video of the moment López was placed on his knees by authorities and told to call his brother to stop a counterattack by armed cartel members on soldiers around the city.

Video of the failed arrest of López was revealed by Mexico's Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval — an incident that has embarrassed the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

In the footage, López is shown surrounded by soldiers with one telling him to call his brother, Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, the leader of the 'Los Chapitos' wing of the Sinaloa Cartel, and tell him to stop the gun battle he launched in response to his brother's house being surrounded. 

'Tell them to stop everything,' a soldier says as the sound of high-powered artillery rattles away in the background.

'Stop this, stop this. I already turned myself in,' López can be heard telling his brother on the phone. 

Archivaldo responded 'no' and shouted threats against the soldiers and their families. The attacks continued and eight minutes later the first wounded soldiers were reported. 

According to President Obrador, the commander of the military unit responsible for leading the raid was offered $3million pesos, or $157,000 to let López walk free. 

But when he declined their proposition, the cartel threatened to kill him and his family.

Towards the end of the video, López begs his brother: 'Please tell them to stop. Relax. Tell them to retreat. But just tell them. I don't want there to be any more chaos, please.'

Later that afternoon, police withdrew from the residence having released López in exchange for a ceasefire.

Thirteen people were killed in the bloodshed.
