Who is Carolyn Adams, the woman who made López Obrador a grandfather and presumes the life of luxury that the son of the Mexican president gives her
A year ago, in September 2019, a woman caught the attention of the spotlight during the First Government Report of the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. She was called Carolyn Adams , and as it was known that day, she was the sentimental partner of José Ramón López Beltrán , the eldest son of the president.
During the ceremony at the National Palace, Adams sat in the front row with the rest of AMLO's relatives. Her presence did not go unnoticed, since she wore shoes from the Italian brand Valentino, valued at more than 17 thousand pesos, and a Chanel bag that was around 100 thousand pesos. She combined these luxury accessories with a white dress that, despite being loose, did not hide her pregnancy.
Thus it became known that the president of Mexico was waiting for what would be her first grandchild; however, at the time, he did not comment on it. That same month, the eldest son of López Obrador and Carolyn Adams moved to Houston, Texas, where she faced the last stage of her pregnancy and enjoyed a certain anonymity. However, after the baby was born, everything changed.
On January 9, 2020, José Ramón López Beltrán presented the newborn on social networks, whom they called Salomón Andrés Manuel López Adams . With the arrival of the little one, the couple's exposure increased, and they soon found themselves involved in their first major scandal.
Through Instagram, the child's mother, Carolyn Adams, frequently shared photos in which she evidenced her ostentatious lifestyle. She and her husband had shared trips on private jets; visits to Europe; NBA games and other major sporting events. In addition, in the images of her she appeared driving luxury cars, toasting with Moet & Chandon, enjoying stays in exclusive hotels or showing off luxury clothing and accessories from firms such as Chanel and Dior.
Adams' posts sparked social media fury. On Twitter, the topic became a trend and aroused the indignation of users, who stated that the luxuries that José Ramón Beltrán and his wife allow themselves contrast with the austerity policy promulgated by Andrés Manuel López Obrador , and are unattainable for the great most Mexicans.
Since then, Carolyn Adams has gone on to become a public figure. And many wanted to know more about that woman who had conquered the heart of AMLO's eldest son, and had sparked one of the great controversies that have affected the image of the presidential family.
Who is Carolyn Adams
Information about Carolyn Adams, also known as "López Obrador's awkward daughter-in-law," is scant.
Before the scandal broke out over her luxurious life, she was already keeping a low profile and staying away from the spotlight. And after the controversy, the couple has further protected her private sphere.
Originally from Brazil, José Ramón's wife worked for 15 years in Dubai, a city in the United Arab Emirates, at the British Petroleum company. In 2016, she left that country and moved to Mexico to work as a "lobbyist" at Cava Energy, a company in the oil sector that is part of a financial fund specialized in the construction of gas pipelines, and that is a supplier to Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex). .
Adams settled in Nuevo León, and two years later, she moved to Mexico City , where she continued to work for the crude company owned by Stella Holdings. In September 2019, she and AMLO's firstborn son moved to Houston, Texas. There, as can be seen in the publications that the Brazilian shares on social networks, they live in a house with a large garden and a swimming pool, although they avoid showing large images of the house.
At home, the couple resides with Salomón Andrés Manuel and Natalia. The latter is the teenage daughter of Carolyn Adams, the result of a previous relationship.
According to columnist Salvador García Soto, the links that Adams maintains with the oil sector would have been a source of discord between the president of Mexico and his son. The author of Snakes and Ladders explained that the day the president met her daughter-in-law, she made a comment that bothered him.
"I'm going to make your son a real businessman in the gas sector," the lobbyist reportedly said.
In fact, recently, news linked to the company where Carolyn works again tarnished her family image. And it is that local media in Quintana Roo announced that the National Commission for Protected Areas (Conanp) ceded 2.5 hectares to the company Desarrollos Inmobiliarios Xunaan, SA de CV, owned by Stella Holdings, a company where Carolyn Adams works.
This again aroused great controversy, although according to public officials, the case is still under review.
Luxury, presidents and horse riding
Since the controversy arose, the oil sector worker takes great care of her publications, which are limited to sweet family pictures and special celebrations.
However, images of her from previous years are still seen on her Instagram that show her taste for luxury and exclusivity, and show that she is well connected in her work.
And it is that López Obrador is not the only president whom the Brazilian knows. This is how it looks in a photograph in which she appears with the president of the United States, Donald Trump. In her image, the president surrounds her with her arm; Although he did not indicate what event it was, in the publication she added the word "work" ("work" in English), so it is understood that she participated in some event for work purposes.
In addition, she also uploaded a snapshot to her profile with the former president of that country, Bill Clinton. The photo was taken during the Global Business 2019 forum.
“Many years ago I was blessed by a Bill Clinton scholarship. I met with the former president on several occasions, but today I just wanted to show my gratitude. At the end of the conference he came up to me and thanked me for what I said in my speech. He told me that I really moved him, ”he wrote on his account.
Beyond her work, and her inclination towards high-end firms, Adams is a lover of horseback riding, or sports such as soccer, baseball, or basketball. Before the controversy broke out, she used to share the meetings she attended with her husband -NBA, Super Bowl, Mexican soccer team-, but due to the COVID-19 health crisis and the arrival of the baby, they have not become to watch at sporting events.
