The wife of jailed drug lord Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán continues to rehabilitate her image as her husband rots in a notorious maximum-security prison in Colorado.

Emma Coronel Aispuro, 36, wowed her social media followers earlier this week when she recorded a video of her latest gym session in California, executing a set of pull ups to perfection.

The former beauty queen, who married Guzmán at the age of 18, uploaded the workout on her Instagram Stories feed on Monday.

Delighted users urged her on, commenting “hit the gym hard” and “there you go, Emma.”

“I love you, Emma,” another said.

Surprisingly, Coronel Aispuro’s workout video — which is no longer visible on her Instagram account — was released just hours after US District Judge Brian Cogan nixed Guzmán’s almost daily — and barely legible — handwritten letters begging for a new trial and extradition to Mexico.

In the latest letter dated April 28, Guzmán claimed that “the [Mexican] government was responsible for all the violence crimes: I did not harm to no one.”

He penned another letter on April 24 and argued for his release from the prison in Florence where he is serving a life sentence — claiming “the 1^st amendment to the 8^th amendment was violated” by the federal court in Brooklyn. 

The drug kingpin wrote the day before: “My name is Joaquin Guzman that are fighting for extradition release to Mexico.”

On April 20, Guzmán claimed: “the verdict of my trial was fair to my foreign policy on having a chance to dismiss my case on not showing no hardcore evidence for my release.”

He also sent Cogan a letter April 10 complaining that his trial was not fair. His first letter, dated April 7, petitioned for family visitation rights and asked for a retrial.

Cogan said in his ruling Monday that “some of these documents make no sense, and none of them has any legal merit.”

Coronel Aispuro didn’t respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The California-born Coronel pleaded guilty to drug trafficking, money laundering and a criminal violation of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act in June 2021. She was sentenced to three years as part of a plea deal and was then transferred from a Texas jail to a California halfway house ahead of her release in September 2023.

She seems to have embarked on a self-guided path to redemption while she serves four years of supervised release. She even went back to her modeling roots and made her debut at Milan Fashion Week in September 2024, hitting the catwalk for designer April Black Diamond. 

In March 2025, she teamed up with Mexican-American influencer Graciela Montes to launch a shapewear line. 

Last December, true crime channel Oxygen aired the documentary, Married to El Chapo: Emma Coronel, in which the stunning brunette opened up about her marriage to him and recalled the drastic measures she had to take to see him on weekends while he was trying to avoid being captured by authorities in Mexico.

“There were times that I had to leave in a car, then go into a store, leave through the back door and get into another car,” she explained.

In February, Deadline Hollywood revealed that Coronel Aispuro would be joining Mexican star actor Rafael Amaya and producer Maritza Ramos as one of the three executive producers for a bilingual television series about Guzmán based on Coronel Aispuro’s point of view.

While his wife plots her comeback, the Guzmán empire may be quietly crumbling from within.

Guzmán’s two oldest sons — Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, 42, and his sibling Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, 39 — have reportedly been in talks with US authorities about turning themselves in, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Monday.

Iván and Jesús, who operate half of the cartel faction known as Los Chapitos, allegedly played a role in providing crucial evidence that the feds were able to use in their indictment of Sinaloa governor Rúben Rocha Moya and nine other former and current state officials.

Their younger half-brothers, Ovidio Guzmán López, 36, and Joaquín Guzmán López, 39, have been in US custody since last year. Joaquín is awaiting to be sentenced June 1 and Ovidio has a hearing scheduled for July 27.
