Griselda Blanco's ex-boyfriend has revealed all on his relationship with the drug lord, including the 'far from romantic' time they first had sex.
Griselda has become one of Netflix's most popular series' of 2024, following the rise of a woman from her childhood in Colombia to becoming a Miami drug lord.
Based on the true story, Modern Family's Sofia Vergara plays the ruthless titular character, who was also known as 'The Grandmother of Cocaine' at the peak of her powers.

She started her crime career at a young age, apparently kidnapping and attempting to ransom a child before shooting them when she was just 11.
Blanco dated Charles Cosby after her three marriages, and she allegedly killed all three of her husbands.
Cosby started to write to her in prison in 1991, when she was in the sixth year of her sentence and the two started to form a relationship.
He was in his early twenties, with Blanco being in her late forties, but Cosby described her as 'an older woman but very attractive'.

In the years following their relationship and the assassination of the former drug lord in 2012, he has revealed all on his time with her.
This includes the first time they had sex too, which he has lifted the lid on.
He describes the first time of seeing her as 'surreal', comparing the electricity to that in a Rolling Stones concert.

Cosby described: "She was wearing a silk print jacket, wool slacks and high heels.
“She was decked out — lipstick, blush and her favourite Paloma Picasso perfume. We talked for a while and had an amazing connection."
Blanco had bribed guards in the prison so she could dress up and doll herself up for his visit, where she was given access to a back room.
"There was a collapsible bed in there and, by the time I arrived, Griselda was lying on it naked," Cosby explained.

"We had sex for around 15 or 20 minutes. It cost us $1,500, which she paid.
“It was far from romantic but she was my idol so I just wanted to be with her,” he revealed.
He also revealed what she was like, saying: "Griselda was heartless but it didn’t put me off because that was then my world too, and she was the biggest fish in the ocean."

Cosby also said her personality was 'as big as California', and that she prayed for his mother when she was ill, explaining that she wasn't all evil.
She told him about her experiences in the 70s and 80s, including her rise to the top and the orgies she held in her mansion.
However, the relationship between the two ended after a row in 1997 when Blanco found out that Cosby was seeing another woman.
She ordered for him to be killed, but he was saved by a bulletproof jacket he wore as someone attempted a drive-by shooting.
Fair to say that's enough to end a relationship, I guess.
